Primary power flow for press functions is handled by a CAT 4 two-hand anti-tie down safety relay. This specialty relay checks complementary inputs from each cycle initiator to insure the operators hands are out of the work area.

Top Stop Over-Run allows press to bypass top stop RAM setting in setup modes

Pressure and Distance Reversal Mode allows operator to select between pressure or position reversal

All wiring is terminated to spring cage style terminals. These terminals provide reliable vibration resistant connections. Wiring on the panel is routed through wire troughs with removable covers.

All PLC I/O points are also terminated to the terminals. Systems include multiple guard terminals already installed. Inputs and outputs have all necessary connections (power for proximity switches and grounds and neutrals for coils) on a single terminal, no searching for support wiring for devices.

All valve coils use DIN 43650 connections with power indicator lighting and electrical EMF surge suppression.

A simple, removable and easily serviceable press mounted press hydraulic system powers the press

The heart of the hydraulic system features an efficient steel manifold designed to consolidate valving, reduce plumbing, eliminate leaks, minimize pressure drop and provide maximum service life.

Efficient Screw In Cartridge Valves (SICV) solenoid valves have extremely low leakage, low pressure drops, low cost low current operation and simple maintenance.  Piloted DIN logic elements outperform large piloted spool valves in leakage, flow and response time.  Valve shift times are 30% of comparable piloted spool valves resulting in increased press cycle speeds.
