Select the control system that is best for you and easiest for your maintenance team.
DIGITAL POSITION SENSOR
No More Messing Around with Setting Up Limit Switches.
Our 4 Post presses can be ordered with a digital micropulse transducer sensor which provides precise ram positioning, infinite setup flexibility and greatly simplify and speed up die setup. The setup data is fed back to the control system and can be recalled as a “recipe” for future reuse.
ZERO-FORCE TOUCH BUTTONS
Important for Worker Safety and Good Health.
Our standard touch buttons have to be pressed together or the press will not start the down cycle. This is another layer of worker safety. In addition, the buttons are designed to fit the shape of the hand and to help alleviate the effects of carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve disorders common to repetitive operator interfaces.
SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS
Worker safety should not be an option when ordering a press.
We are very serious about worker safety. That is why all our trim presses include full size CAT4 safety light curtains as a standard feature. The light curtains work along with the other safety features to ensure worker safety at all times. Worker safety is our highest priority, and it always will be.
REMOVABLE PLUG PLATE
Flexibility for Your Changing Production Needs.
All 4 Post press has the built-in flexibility of having a drop through hole or a solid base platen using a removable plug plate. We understand each project is different and we give you the option to adapt the trim press to meet your current and future needs.
BUILT-IN HEAT EXCHANGER
No Need for Centralized Cooling.
All our 4 Post Press can be ordered with a built-in, full size, high quality, water cooled heat exchanger that will keep the press oil at an optimal level.
4 AIR BLAST VALVES WITH TIMER
Keep Your Dies Clean Between Every Trim Cycle.
Four air blast valves for removing flash and debris are available with a programmed timer built into the HMI screen.
TIE AUTOMATIC BAR LUBRICATION
No More Need to Remember to Lubricate the Tie Bars
Our optional automatic tie bar lubrication system will reduce the scoring on the tie bars and thus will extend the lifetime of the press and the press precision. The “set and forget” system simplifies maintenance and even warns the operator to refill the lubrication oil container.
2 CORE PUNCHES
Built-In Flexibility.
All our 4 post press can be ordered with core punches. The core punch sequence and timing is fully customizable using the HMI screen, and the simple step-by-step setup routine. The setup then becomes part of the overall die recipe that can recalled at any time.
HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTS
We Use Brand Name Components You Know, Already Use and Trust.
We use only the finest quality components that are open source, and readily available locally in your area, or from our online parts store. We do not use any impossible to find proprietary components.
ROBOT INTERFACE
Increase Production by Adding A Robot
Optional robot interface I/O's can or ordered and will be built right into the HMI screen with 3 different modes. Choose from manual mode operation having the worker operate the whole press, semi-automatic mode having the worker on the front removing trimmed castings and a robot on the back loading castings, or fully automatic mode with our automated part unloader on the front and a robot on the back. We can customize these modes to your specific requirements.
PARTS UNLOADER
Automate Trimmed Parts Removal.
Our optional pneumatic or hydraulic parts unloader can fully automate the removal for trimmed castings. Increase production speed and accuracy.
PNEUMATIC SAFETY DOOR
Add Even More Worker Safety.
Add our optional pneumatic safety door for enhanced worker safety. The door has an electronic safety edge which stops the press if triggered.
REMOTE SERVICE
We Can Remotely Troubleshoot Your Trim Press from Our Facility.
Our 4 Post Press can include a Remote Connectivity Unit which allows our press technicians to remotely check the performance of the press, make any needed changes to the program or HMI, or to troubleshoot it directly from our service center. The customer is only required to connect the unit to the Internet via an Ethernet cable. We handle the rest.
INDUSTRY 4.0 REMOTE MONITORING
Remotely Monitor Your Trim Press Performance From Any Device.
As an option, all our presses are available with Industry 4.0 remote performance monitoring units which feature a custom dashboard. You can not only monitor press performance, but you can be notified before an issue occurs. Included are condition based maintenance reminders and shift performance statistics. Minimize impact of emergencies and maximize press uptime, and productivity. Monitor what is going on with the trim press and your production efficiency from any device, anywhere in the world.
