EXTRUSION PRESS RETROFITS & UPGRADES

BUTT KNOCKER SHEAR

  • Automatic knock off device prevents butt end of billet from hanging up on die.
  • Fully adjustable guided vee ways.
  • Chisel type blade for clean shearing to eliminate flaring

CONTROL UPGRADES

  • Modern PLC controls with Recipes
  • Safety PLC systems where required
  • Data acquisition systems

DIE CHANGERS

  • Decrease die change time dramatically.  Less than 1 minute!
  • All dies can be loaded from the operator side of the press in a safe location.
  • Easy press alignment with removable die carriers.

HYDRAULIC UPGRADES

  • High capacity submerged main pumps mounted in a reservoir.
  • Cartridge insert and manifold mounted valves.
  • R.L. Best no weld tubing system for leak prevention.

LINEAR BILLET LOADERS

  • Servo driven for extremely fast linear acceleration and stopping power.  Moves 58” per second!
  • Linear guide rails for precision repeatability and wear resistance.

SHORT STROKE CONVERSION

  • Reduced dead cycle time allowing for increased production. Up to 311 pounds per hour!
  • Longer billets for optimum extrusion length.
  • Less scrap from billet butts and stretcher waste.
  • Shorter ram travel for optimum efficiency.
