ICL's 1 & 2 Ton E-Z™ Presses feature the same unibody construction and other features common to our E-Z™ Press line, but we have redesigned these presses to maximize the sensitivity of the press for exact reproducibility of applied force. Normally, hydraulic presses use a pump to apply pressure to the piston of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic fluid pump found in standard press designs increases the pressure of the hydraulic fluid in spurts which causes the force being applied by the press to jump in increments which are difficult to control with precision. In addition, there is some backflow of hydraulic fluid during the pumping process which amplifies the lack of reproducibility of force levels.
