21st Century Press Maintenance: A New Approach
This presentation will discuss methods to make your press maintenance lean by reducing costs, while at the same time increasing overall effectiveness. We will examine how to use the existing press systems such as tonnage monitors, brake monitors, lubrication systems and die protection as effective tools to monitor overall press condition. We will look at how the electronic monitoring provides markers that trigger further mechanical inspection. Also reviewed will be the details of the inspection process and methods of data tracking for each press and workcell.
