Servo hydraulic presses support sustainable, Industry 4.0 operations

In the dynamic manufacturing landscape, Sutherland Presses (Malibu, Calif., U.S.) continues to pioneer innovative solutions with efficiency and productivity in mind, as highlighted by the company’s servo hydraulic press and I-Press simulator.

In a focus on more sustainable manufacturing, the servo hydraulic press can save up to 80% of energy consumption. Its straight sides and four-post design offers high performance and flexibility, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary operations.

Sutherland also debuts its I-Press three-in-one simulator, which offers a hands-on experience with the company’s mechanical, servo hydraulic and forge press controls. Designed to be safe and intuitive, I-Press enables users to explore the deep bench of press features without intimidation. The I-Press control system is now available for retrofits on mechanical stamping presses and is compatible with Rockwell AB, Omron and Siemens hardware and software platforms.

With the I-Press Connected Enterprise feature, intelligence gathering and reporting are reportedly unlimited. Selected users can also be approved to access the I-Press control remotely, assisting operators or maintenance teams from afar.
