Bench-mounted and hand-held pneumatic tools complete several assembly functions. They operate on 85- to 95-psi shop air and are easily moved, allowing rapid adjustment of assembly lines. Set up time is minimized with jaws that can be changed over from product to product in less than a minute. Power unit is a force-multiplying air cylinder capable of delivering more than 4000 lb of thrust to the cam operated jaws. Circuitry in the foot operated control box includes a unique pressure sensing valve that can be adjusted for various jaw closing forces. Fabco-Air, Inc., (352) 373-3578, www.fabco-air.com
