INFORMATICS & I-PRESS®: The Heart of Automated Metal Stamping Cells

Jul 3, 2016
Technology

When you make large capital equipment investments, the front end engineering on paper is critical to the long run outcome of productivity & safety. Sure machine specifications and capacities are important, but equally important is the line controller.  Example below is our EHW-660 ton Eccentric Plunger Guided press with 144" x 60" Die Area and a 20,000LB Compact Coil Feeding Line. 

For starters, let's say that the cost of this automated stamping cell is
$1,000,000.00. In a multi-shift shop the press could have 10 to 20
times + the initial investment in tooling running in the press. With a
$10 to $20 million dollar investment, you owe it to yourself  & your
company to protect all of your investments.

INFORMATICS is the science of computer information systems and the interaction between humans and information. The Sutherland solution is the I-PRESS® AB PLUS press & automation control. Team Sutherland designed the I-PRESS graphic interface to be the most intuitive and friendly to operate control in the industry.

The MOS / Master Operation Station is the most fully featured control
on the market. We take no shortcuts and build each control system to
allow end users to add features as they need in the future. A truly
scalable control that comes with features that other control builders
call options and charge extra for.

 The I-PRESS® AB PLUS is quickly becoming the desired industry standard.



 

While other companies are engineering press controls, they are built by
engineers and have complex interface that is common and in many
cases over engineered. The beauty of the

is that your team can learn the control in less than 15 minutes of
hands on training.  The main run screen shown above gives the operator
everything they need to know to maximize productivity. Sectional
function blocks for easy viewing include: faults & alarms,
operational information, drive performance, tonnage, special modes,
counters and maintenance countdown counter + the
