Cutting Medical Devices 
Machine Presses for Clean Room Environment 
Freeman Schwabe Presses can be configured to operate in clean room environments,cutting steel against steel and having specialized non contamination cutting belts, all enhance medical applications.

Servo Electric Flat Bed Press (Model SEP)

Freeman Schwabe’s Model SEP is a four-post servo electric press featuring servo-driven precision for Kiss-Cutting as well as Through-Cutting.  This servo electric press does not use hydraulics for its’ power source, there is no risk of material or part contamination and is therefore ideal for a clean room environment or any other manufacturing environment where hydraulic fluids are not desirable.  This press operates with up to 70% less energy used and possesses an extremely quiet operation with a compact footprint.  This press requires very little maintenance and offers a lower cost of ownership than typical hydraulic presses.
