In Die Sensors
Our in-die sensor technology continuously monitors critical operating conditions within the tool to ensure every component functions at peak performance. These sensors provide real-time feedback on factors such as part presence, material feed, and alignment, helping prevent costly errors and downtime. By detecting issues before they impact production, in-die sensors maintain optimum efficiency, improve part quality, and extend tool life. This advanced monitoring system is an integral part of our commitment to precision and reliability in every stamping operation.
Smart Pac Systems
Smart Pac Systems allow all in-die sensors to seamlessly communicate with the press controls, creating an integrated safety and monitoring network. This system continuously evaluates real-time conditions within the stamping process—such as material feed, part presence, and die protection—and automatically stops the press if any parameter falls outside of the programmed ideal range. By doing so, Smart Pac prevents costly die damage, reduces downtime, and ensures consistent part quality, all while enhancing operator safety and overall production efficiency.
Cognex Vision Systems
Cognex Vision Systems provide manufacturers with the assurance that every product meets the highest quality standards by delivering precise, automated visual inspection throughout the production process. These systems use advanced image processing and pattern recognition to detect defects, verify dimensions, confirm part presence, and ensure correct assembly in real time. By eliminating human error and catching even the smallest inconsistencies, Cognex Vision Systems help maintain strict compliance with quality specifications, reduce scrap and rework, and improve overall customer satisfaction.
Servo Press Technology
Represents the most advanced innovation in stamping equipment for modern press rooms. Unlike traditional mechanical presses, servo presses utilize high-torque servo motors to deliver precise control over slide motion, speed, and dwell time, enabling unmatched flexibility in forming operations. Our press room was a pioneer in this technology, being the first in the United States to feature a 220-ton straight-side AIDA servo press. This milestone allowed us to achieve superior part quality, reduced material stress, and extended tool life. Since that initial installation, we have continued to invest in this cutting-edge technology by adding multiple servo presses, further enhancing our ability to handle complex geometries, improve energy efficiency, and optimize production for a wide range of stamping applications.
Precision Strip Lubrication Systems
are designed to deliver exact amounts of lubricant to the strip material, ensuring oil usage is both minimal and consistent. By applying lubrication only when and where it is needed—such as at critical contact points during the stamping process—these systems reduce waste, prevent over-lubrication, and maintain a clean working environment. This controlled application improves part quality, minimizes contamination, and enhances tool life, while also lowering overall operating costs. The result is a highly efficient lubrication process that supports sustainability and optimal press performance.
Electronic Roll Feeds
are engineered to deliver precise and consistent material advancement during the stamping process, significantly reducing the risk of misfeeds. By utilizing servo-driven technology and programmable feed lengths, these systems ensure accurate strip positioning for every cycle. This precision minimizes potential die crashes, tooling damage, and unplanned downtime—issues that can disrupt production schedules and jeopardize on-time deliveries. In addition to improving reliability, electronic roll feeds enhance overall efficiency, reduce scrap, and support high-speed operations, making them an essential component for maintaining productivity and meeting customer demands.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
Newly upgraded EDM centers for tool building and servo technology for the press room, coupled with our investment in our new facility proves that we are in this for the “long haul”.
Stamping Department
A multitude of stamping presses ranging from 20 to 330 ton in mechanical, hydraulic, high speed, and servo technology produce millions of stampings annually.
