Next Steps in Servo-Hydraulic Press Design

In Booth D-45458, Greenerd Press & Machine Company (Nashua, NH) will announce a new servo-hydraulic press design that meets demanding application standards with ease-of-use, high quality and outstanding repeatability. This new design incorporates an upgraded user interface that allows operators to choose press functionality by selecting simple, icon-based cycle profiles. After receiving input, the press automatically sets itself up for the selected operation, and custom press cycles can then be stored in over 1,000 different recipes and recalled in an instant with the use of an optional bar code reader. “To meet the demands of today’s challenging applications, we provide fabricators with press systems that are flexible, productive and reliable, as well as often being quite large and complex,” noted Jerry Letendre, the chief executive officer of Greenerd Press. “For even greater manufacturing efficiency, we are able to provide our hydraulic press customers with turnkey, state-of-the-art robotic product handling solutions.”

During the show, the company will also present unique hydraulic press application solutions that showcase their extensive hydraulic press and automation capabilities, with application experts and design engineers available to discuss specific user applications and press requirements. Their extensive line of hydraulic presses are available in a variety of styles ranging from gap frame and straight-side to die-spotting and forging presses, with unlimited size and tonnage capabilities. Greenerd has a long tradition of designing, engineering and manufacturing customized hydraulic presses with product handling solutions. As a Tier 1 Industrial Authorized Robot System Integrator of FANUC America Corporation (Rochester Hills, MI), they have full access to the comprehensive offerings of FANUC robots, including all models, training and support, providing state-of-the-art automation solutions in short time frames.

Complete, fully integrated production systems can be provided, including simple raw material feeding systems and robotic systems that include loading/unloading the press, the ability to perform an optional secondary part manipulation or processing, automated inspection of parts and stacking finished products for downstream processes. The scope of automation can also encompass part inspection systems, ranging from small sensors to complex camera inspections, and temperature monitoring/control of press and non-press related systems. Streaming critical production data to and from the press is also offered.
