This is the largest load that can be placed on one of
the bearing areas – check floor load!
Dynamic proportion of load: < 3 %.

ness 1 kg/dm3 (0.036 lbs/cu in).
(2): Ratio of: Press weight incl. 2 piles divided by
floor space required without peripheral equipment.

1.5 Air supply surface pressure

When the air is supplied by customer equipment,

proper and expert adaptation to the existing units is
necessary. The following connections are necessary:
