PW Plus Benchmark Tonnage Monitor
The PressWatch PW PLUS Series is the most advanced benchmark tonnage monitor in the industry
today. Sophisticated electronic circuitry makes the monitor extremely easy to understand and use.
One operator switch controls the monitor and operating instructions are printed near control.
The PW PLUS production monitors are used for many important operations, such as: automatic,
progressive dies and basic stamping. It is available as a two or four channel unit for easy
plant standardization.
