Metalform's February 2020 issue features a fascinating article, "Press Builders Becoming Purveyors of Turnkey Systems." The article discusses the industry trend towards individual press builders becoming the providers of completely integrated automated systems.
"Gone are the days when metal formers put together their own manufacturing lines. Now, instead of their supply chains including separate vendors for presses, feed lines and transfer systems, increasingly they are relying on press builders to provide completely integrated automated systems."
"Ray Fausz, vice president of sales at Sutherland Presses, agrees. 'A lot of our customers no longer have their own engineering departments, so they’re coming to us with their raw materials and finished products, asking how to get from A to B, which depends on the application. For some it could be a simple feed system to run with the press. Others may require a full work cell with automated load/unloading.”
