New Press Controls: Push Press Uptime Higher, PPMs Lower

摘要

An investment in state-of-the-art press-automation controls delivers a boost in uptime and a significant drop in internal PPM, and frees up the toolroom to focus on sensor installations rather than emergency die repairs. Henry Ford once said that if you need a machine and don't buy it, then you ultimately will find that you have paid for it, but don't have it. In the metalforming and fabricating arena, Ford's perspective easily applies to press controls, where significant technology advances have continued in spite of the economic climate. State-of-the-art controls offer increased ability to handle greater numbers of sensor inputs, and boast a host of new gee-whiz features.
