The E2H is configured for the addition of a mechanical hydraulic overload system. This quick acting mechanical release is integrated within the PMC Control for ease of use. When an overload condition is detected, the overload valve opens automatically to quickly top stop the press, and activate the quick access slide to protect the press from damage. In addition, unlike conventional overload protecting devices, the E2H slide will open a full 75mm (2.95") to allow quick and easy removal of die jams or other obstructions.
