SHOP FLOOR TO TOP FLOOR COMMUNICATIONS / CONNECTED ENTERPRISE WITH I-PRESS® CONTROLS

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

Currently, we offer I-PRESS® for control upgrades on mechanical stamping presses.

Visit our Interactive Knowledge Base to learn more about I-PRESS®.

With I-PRESS® Connected Enterprise the shop floor can be connected to the top floor for production monitoring, new job downloading, and data collection. Another nice feature included connectivity to selected users’ mobile devices allowing plant managers and set up teams to assist operators remotely.

We are developing an online training center for all three I-PRESS® controls. While not yet 100% complete, you can get a good idea by clicking HERE.

INCREASED DIE LIFE THROUGH MECHANICAL ECCENTRIC PLUNGER GUIDED TWO-POINT STRAIGHT SIDES

Compared to crankshaft-style presses, eccentric presses cost a bit more to build, but the payback is tremendous with longer runs before dying maintenance. Our design in forge-type frames resists deflection and higher repeatability of upper tool to lower tool contact. When combined with our full-length taper wedge slide guidance and plunger guides that deliver vertical tonnage, the die life expectancy is increased by 30%. All Sutherland presses include I-PRESS® controls.

Recently added to our website is our I-BUILD interactive tool to view and rotate all the internal workings of our EHW Series presses.

FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES GRAVITATING TOWARDS SERVO-HYDRAULIC TECHNOLOGY

The fully automated production line, shown left, comprises five presses with a total pressing capacity of 1400 tons.

The first press, fed by a servo-drive, coil fed line, produces the initial blanked-to-shape, further processed by the following four presses and robots. Loaded by inverted crown mounted multiaccess robots with a max payload of 60kg per robot, can produce up to eight completed panels per minute.

Quick die exchange carts extending from the front of each press assist in reducing die setup times. The servo-drive fluid management system and the press and robotic control panels are housed on an upper crown platform, uniquely designed for easy access and maintenance of an entire production line.

Patented I-PRESS Servo Hydraulic press and automation control are game-changers for press users.

The Main Run screen (left) gives operators and setup teams a visual for press, position, pressure, performance, and more. The Multi-Point Edit screen (right) is where the rubber meets the road.

With fully programmable motion and pressure profiles, users can change speeds and pressures up to seven times in one stroke for optimum formability. Programmable Dwell at the bottom of stroke can offer higher definition parts and reduce material spring back.
