Model p1
Model P1
Pneumatic Stamping Platform
(1 Ton)
The Model P1 is a pneumatic press designed for precision hot stamping and heat transfer applications requiring increased force and expanded working capacity. Built for consistent performance in production environments, the P1 platform supports both Hot Stamping (RL) and Heat Transfer (HT) configurations.
Its versatile frame design and upgradeable tonnage capability make it well suited for a wide range of industrial marking and decorating applications.

Available Configurations and
Process Options
The P1 platform can be configured for either heat transfer or hot stamping applications depending on production requirements.
Hot Stamping (RL)
- Foil-based decoration process
- Motor-driven, timer-controlled foil advance
- Suitable for single-color, metallic, or durable markings
- Simplified indexing system for consistent foil application
Note: Hot stamping-only machines cannot be used for heat transfer.
Heat Transfer (HT)
- Multicolor image transfer capability
- High-accuracy transfer indexing system
- Photoelectric eye registration for precise placement
- Two-speed indexing control for improved accuracy
- Fine adjustment for transfer alignment
- Suitable for detailed graphics and multi-color applications
Note: Heat transfer machines can also perform hot stamping.
Built for Flexible Production
The P1 is designed to support a wide range of production environments and can be configured as:
- Standalone workstation
- Integrated production press
- Part of an automated system
- Robotic or conveyor-based application
The adjustable daylight and large work surface simplify tooling setup and changeovers across multiple part types.
The frame design also allows the press to be upgraded from a 1-ton system to a 2-ton or 3-ton system by replacing the pneumatic cylinder.
Tooling and Automation Integration
The P1 supports full integration with:
- Custom tooling and dies
- Nesting fixtures and alignment systems
- Rotary index tables and slide tables
- Pick-and-place systems
- Vision inspection and auto-eject systems
Hastings can design complete automation systems or integrate the P1 into existing production lines, including robotic loading and conveyor systems.
