SUTHERLAND’S CONTROL RETROFIT PROGRAM

Mar 22, 2024

We are committed to keeping your metalforming operations at the forefront of efficiency and innovation. That's why we're reaching out to customers with presses from Sutherland built between 2002 and 2016. These presses came with either a Mitsubishi or a Sunne control system.

Now, as a standard, all our presses come equipped with the I-PRESS® & Automation Control System, and we continue to offer service, spare parts, and troubleshooting for Sunne and Mitsubishi controls.

However, for complete transparency, we must inform you that obtaining parts for these legacy systems is becoming increasingly difficult, and lead times are lengthening.

Also, while those older control systems served you well, they simply can't handle the current demands of the metalforming industry.

Today the next-level of control systems is needed: safer for operators, more scalable for evolving needs, adaptable to technology changes, and ready to seamlessly integrate with the future of manufacturing – Industry 4.0

In response to the industry demands, Sutherland developed the I-PRESS® &Automation Control System. This more intuitive PLC and software-based control system, with Industry 4.0 capabilities, simplifies user learning, setup, and navigation. It eliminates the common frustration of complex menus found in other press builders' systems.

To help you prevent downtime caused by the older control system we recommend upgrading your presses equipped with Sunne or Mitsubishi controls to the I-PRESS® system. This is our patented control system, for which we can guarantee results, functionality, parts availability, and ongoing support for years to come. Our retrofit program is also available for mechanical pressesand forge presses from all brands.
