Example of a complex multistation press system with varying tonnage capabilities that Greenerd custom designed, engineered and built.
Greenerd Press & Machine Company announced it will be highlighting the company's extensive hydraulic press and automation capabilities at FABTECH booth D40933. Application experts and design engineers from Greenerd will be available to discuss specific user applications and press requirements.
Greenerd designs and builds custom hydraulic presses with automation solutions for a range of industries and applications. One example that demonstrates these capabilities, which Greenerd will discuss at FABTECH, is a complex multistation press system with varying tonnage capabilities via three rams.
This automated press system manufactures aluminum electrical splices at a rate of 60 parts per minute. The system feeds a coil of aluminum through a straightening and shearing process controlling the weight of slugs that are fed up an inclined custom Greenerd-designed conveyor and diverter, separating the slugs into lanes for increased throughput. In total, the system performs multiple operations from straightening and shearing to dimpling, hole formation, chamfering and grooving via a custom servo-driven shuttle system.
"To meet our customers' demands for higher levels of manufacturing productivity and system-verified output quality, Greenerd is providing increasingly advanced production cells that deliver substantially increased throughput and higher levels of quality," said Jerry Letendre, Chairman, Greenerd Press & Machine Company. "To further support the implementation of our customers' major production line projects, we routinely provide our customers with fully integrated, turn-key and state-of-the-art robotic and other product movement solutions."
Greenerd is a Tier 1 Industrial Authorized Robot System Integrator of FANUC America Corporation. The partnership gives Greenerd full access to the comprehensive offerings of FANUC Robots, including all models, training and support, providing state-of-the-art automation solutions in short time frames. Complete, fully integrated production systems can be provided, including simple raw material feeding systems, robotic solutions for loading/unloading the press, the ability to perform an optional secondary part manipulation or process, automated inspection of parts and stacking finished products for downstream processes. The scope of automation can also encompass part inspection systems ranging from small sensors to complex camera inspections and temperature monitoring/control of press and nonpress related systems. Streaming critical production data to and from the press is also offered.
Greenerd's hydraulic presses are available in a variety of styles ranging from gap frame and straight-side to die-spotting and forging presses, with unlimited size and tonnage capabilities. Greenerd has a long tradition of designing, engineering and manufacturing customized hydraulic presses with product handling solutions.
