Tooling Technology
While outfitting the press rams with the new clamps, Rheem fabricated a 3-in. ram plate, cut pathways into the plate and fab- ricated covers for it, “so we‘re able to run all of the sensor and air cables out to minimize the footprint,” Krauss says, “a more effective solution than using swing clamps on the outside.”
each clamping circuit, one switch for the bolster-clamping circuit and one switch for the slide-clamping circuit. The slide- clamping circuit goes through a slide-mounted connection block that creates dual diagonal clamp circuits. If one clamp/ circuit fails, there are still two clamps under pressure to hold the upper section of the die on the press. If this would happen, there would be a loss of pressure on the pressure switch at the manifold and the press would stop.” MF
In 1964, LSP introduced the original PresSpray, introducing airless, automatic spraying of die lubricants. Today, presses are faster and more high tech, tolerances are tighter, and lubricants better. The PresSpray-II has evolved to meet the demands of twenty first century stamping.
