Renegade I-series parts washers from Service Line, Inc., deliver three-stage con- tinuous cleaning to clean and dry complex, multiported parts transported via inline conveyorized roller operation. Each wash- and rinse-stage compartment contains spray manifolds with strategically placed nozzles to deliver high-pressure, high- temperature cleaning.
Conveyor tunnel cleaning systems are designed for high-volume, repetitive clean- ing operations, and stages can be cus- tom-configured.

State-of-the-Art
Press-Brake
Crowning Setup
The days of controlling deflection using stacked cardboard, gum wrappers or any other type of makeshift shim are over. Thanks to the introduction, by Wilson Tool International, White Bear Lake, MN, of the Express Crowning system. Designed to help control deflection (or the “canoe effect”) in press-brake applications exceed- ing 4 ft. in length, the system gives fabri- cators the flexibility to fine-tune the deflec- tion-compensating curve of the unit to overcome the nuances built into the press brake. Press-brake operators can crown the lower beam with manual or electric options and secure dies with manual or hydraulic power.
Mounting is available for all types of press brakes, and the setup is compatible with WT and American-style tooling. Adjust the hydraulic clamping system with a remote control or CNC direct to the machine control. Macro crown up to 2 to 3 mm, depending on length.
