Globally Experienced... Yet Always Focused On Your Specific Solution
More than 1,500 North American stamping installations have "SaidYesTo SEYI." Regardless of their customer's chal- lenge...productivity, quality, press uptime,
and/or improving the bottom line...SEYI has delivered single source solutions for both stand-alone machines and fully automated press cell applica- tions. (Complete part automation, tooling and coil handling solutions, too.) We've delivered presses from 20 to 2,400 tons, answering requirements in
virtually every market.
Get to know the SEYI operation. Constantly- evolving word class technologies, new capital equipment affordability and proven ROI. Most important, a strong "problem/solution"- oriented drive that can be found in every SEYI employee & sales rep organization.
Don't just take our word...con- tact us for a list of SEYI own- ers with similar challenges. And ask them for yourself on why they "said yes."
Are you ready for the person- al attention and support that your toughest of applications demand? If you're ready to "SayYesTo SEYI" today,give us a call or send us an email.

motion controller for retrofit applica- tions can support a range of communi- cations interfaces and protocols for con- nection to the host system. If the machine does not use a modern bus such as EtherNet/IP or Profibus, consider retro- fitting the bus as well to minimize main- tenance costs.
• Transducer connectivity options. For efficient retrofit implementation, a motion controller must support direct connection to position feedback devices. Also, since the ability to control pres- sure or force as well as position often is key to improving productivity and quality, the motion controller should pro- vide interfaces to pressure or force transducers.
• Advanced programming options. Machine productivity gains may require completion of complex motion sequences, so the controller software should be easy to program. The controller’s func- tional repertoire should support power- ful operations such as running multiple simultaneous PID loops employing full parameter sets including feed-forwards, and high-level instructions such as high- er-order equation interpolation. A motion controller that can be programmed with high-level commands allows the project to be completed in significantly less time than with low-level machine com- mands, reducing costs and improving ROI.
New motion controllers support the synchronization of multi-axis motion systems. Rather than hardwiring a machine to run at a certain speed, by enabling the motion of slave axes to follow that of master axes the overall throughput of a machine may be varied and increased without risking jams or mal- functions.
Finally, using a motion-control software simulator, the system integrator can test at his desk and prove out the motion sys- tem before plugging the controller in. This minimizes system downtime and ensures that correct hydraulic component sizing can be verified in advance.
