ATLANTA, GA - September 19, 2023 - Sutherland Presses, a global leader in Metal Forming and Composite fabrication solutions, and Molded Fiber Glass Companies (MFG), an innovative provider of fiberglass solutions in technical textiles, are thrilled to announce their collaboration at the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX)

We are thrilled to invite you to join us at the CAMX 2023 Composite Show - the largest, most comprehensive composites and advanced materials event in North America.The expo will take place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, from October 30 to November 2, 2023.

As a long-time member of the Precision Metal Forming Association (PMA), Sutherland Presses deeply regretsto announce that we will not be participating in the highly anticipated FABTECH 2023 Show taking place in Chicago this September.

In the dynamic manufacturing landscape, Sutherland Presses continues to pioneer innovative solutions that redefine efficiency and productivity. At this year’s CAMX in Atlanta, we’re thrilled to showcase our Servo Hydraulic Press and the groundbreaking I-PRESS simulator.‍‍

Sutherland Presses has launched the I-SHOW Virtual Showroom, an interactive platform that allows users to explore the functionality of its presses, understand their applications across various industries, and even simulate their operation. It is open 24/7, making it convenient for users to access it at their own pace.

In addition to understanding Reverse Tonnage, proper press maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your press. Sutherland Presses offers a comprehensive Preventive Maintenance Program (PMP) to help you maintain your press in top condition.

I-SHOW features interactive experiences with I-PRESS® & Automation control, including live simulators and touch-responsive wall screens. Dive deep into the world of Servo Hydraulic, Mechanical, and Forge Press showrooms, all while learning about their applications across various industries.

I-PRESS® & Automation Controls was the brainchild of Mark Sutherland in 1999. I-PRESS® was conceived at the Hannover Machine Tool Show in Germany. According to Mark, the control systems from major press builders were just too complex, non-intuitive, and frankly intimidating.

In recent years, servo hydraulic presses have become increasingly popular in the manufacturing industry. These advanced machines, such as those offered by Sutherland Presses with their 4.0 I-PRESS and Automation controls, offer numerous benefits over traditional hydraulic and mechanical presses.

Sutherland Presses is thrilled to announce the appointment of Jack Sutherland Wilson as a partner and shareholder in the company.

Good news for forging companies, the industry is on course to increase +8% per year through 2030. The forging industry must lead the drive for technological advances which include: better and more accurate equipment, all types of automation, faster die change over times, process controls and sensors just to name a few.

It may be surprising to learn that damage resulting from improperly adjusted ACB pressure, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars, often occurs due to human error and lack of proper training, despite ACB cylinders being a relatively inexpensive component.

Our EHW Series is the most robust and accurate drive and slide guidance system available to metal stampers. Our design includes both forging and stamping press technology. Main gears are centered and sandwiched with dual pitmans, which connect to double plunger guides for vertical tonnage delivery.

With over 75 years and three generations serving press users in the forging, stamping, and molding industries, we have been exposed to about every application a press can be used for. Energy savings make servo hydraulic presses efficient and effective for various applications.

Below are some of the most common terms used within the compression molding and Resin Transfer molding industry, as well as a brief overview of what they mean. Some of the terms apply to the strength and properties of the reinforcements and the compression or RTM molded components.

This news article focuses on the benefits of our EHW / Eccentric Plunger Guided Series.

Our patented I-PRESS® control system is available on three platforms, forge presses, mechanical stamping presses, and servo-hydraulic presses.

Our F-Series forge press showcases our technological advances, as seen in the digitally rendered section in the left-side image. Intelligent and thoughtful design details were built into every machine, allowing tighter tolerances, faster heat dissipation, and easier access for maintenance.

Our customers and many companies across all sectors have been dealing with global shifts and challenges, profoundly impacted by international supply chain shortages and the pandemic. The past two years have forced businesses to reorganize employees and to create a more agile structure that allows quick response to change.

Our US based customer has just ordered 3 additional high production automatic presses for 30 total Sutherland presses producing finished product for the automotive industry.

We are pleased to announce that Isabella Ayoub and Chris Wei have joined Team Sutherland.

PdM systems are capable of reducing maintenance costs by 12%, improving equipment uptime by 9%, extending equipment lifetime by over 20% and minimizing health, environmental and quality risks by 14%.

107 million strokes and no un-planned downtime is achieved since the early stages of your project; effective communication and full understanding of your project goals, innovative press designs, exhaustive quality checks and cutting-edge press controls is the formula.

Team Sutherland is proud to introduce the refined EHW / Eccentric Dual Plunger guided series mechanical press and the EHW advances in straight side press technology.
