Intelligent Press & Automation Controls for Metalforming

Highly Expandable Capabilities to Accommodate Practically Any Press Application

The stamping industry is constantly evolving its press production systems to be more productive in an increasingly competitive world. While manually-fed single presses are still a viable solution for short-run contract stamping, major stampers in the automotive, appliance, and other industries and their tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers have turned to sophisticated coil-and-transfer-feeding automation, scrap removal systems, and automatic or semi-automatic die change systems (such as rolling bolsters) to increase productivity.

Link intelligent press and automation control products are custom-engineered to increase safety and productivity for the simplest manually-fed mechanical power presses to the most sophisticated, automatic coil-fed presses or blank-fed transfer and tandem press productions systems.

Link controls for press production systems:

• Enable Highly Advanced Control With Almost Unlimited Expansion Capability
• Integrate With Press Control and Automation Monitoring, Sequencing, and Interface Through OmniLink Operator Terminals
