Tier stamper improves mechanical press productivity with transfer retrofit

摘要

A Midwestern manufacturer sought to improve productivity on its nearly 10-year-old Verson transfer press. Although the press was in good condition, the original ETF transfer, which had endured 28 million press hits, was causing considerable maintenance costs and lost production. Because of the transfers age, unexpected maintenance and repair had become more frequent, and components were sometimes difficult to replace. In addition, part dislocations in the die were becoming an issue, causing additional downtime.
