Ensure Hydraulic-Press Health and Well Being
Beckwood Press Company Booth S4719
Hydraulic-press manufacturer Beckwood Press Co., St. Louis, MO, will demonstrate its Heartbeat on-board hydraulic-press health-monitoring system. Heartbeat monitors,
in real time, critical press functions. If, for example, fluid-health or pump-effi- ciency levels drift outside of acceptable factory-set parameters, automatic noti- fications can be delivered to predefined departments or employees to facilitate the scheduling of necessary and planned maintenance. This pre-preventive main- tenance tool keeps the operation several steps ahead of unexpected component failure, optimizing hydraulic press effi- ciency. www.beckwoodpress.com
CUSTOM BUILT
CUSTOM BUILT
Unique 4-post compaction press that can form two different products simultane- ously, essentially becoming two presses in a single frame. Using closed-
loop circuitry, the process is totally automated, with each work station receiving programmed commands from a central touch
screen HMI. Sensitive
LDTs and pressure
transducers precisely
measure position and
force. A proportional hydraulic valve controls ram speed and dwell time.
Hydraulic presses engineered for your specific application.
We work with you to design electronically-controlled special- purpose presses that consistently produce high-quality parts and globally competitive productivity.
