LINK MOTION 550 TON RUNNING UP TO 75 SPM

Feb 21, 2025

Introducing the latest innovation in Link Motion Press technology: the HUX-ML-550, capable of reaching speeds of up to 75 strokes per minute. This remarkable advancement signifies a leap forward in pressing technology, making it a pivotal tool for industries focused on metal stamping and forming.

The HUX-ML-550 is not just about speed; it's about the precision and efficiency that redefine operational capabilities in the manufacturing sector. The integration of Link Motion allows for smoother operations and enhanced output, positioning it as a critical asset in production facilities aiming to boost performance and maintain quality standards.

Link Motion technology, originally conceptualized by William Howe in the mid-1800sfor the locomotive industry, has undergone significant evolution to benefit the metal stamping industry. Since gaining popularity in the early 1980s, Link Motion has transformed manufacturing processes by reducing the slide speed by30% during the working phase of the stroke.

This reduction is key to improving material flow, minimizing spring back, and enhancing part definition. The result is not only an optimization of production rates but also an increase in overall efficiency and die life. By incorporating this cutting-edge technology, manufacturers can achieve higher quality outputs with fewer resources, ultimately saving time and cost in the long run.

A crucial component of the HUX-ML-550's success is its integration with the proprietary I-PRESS & Automation control system. This system stands at the forefront of press control technology, offering an unmatched level of seamless operation and precision.

Compatible with both Rockwell AB and Siemens hardware and software platforms, the I-PRESS system ensures that the HUX-ML-550 operates at peak performance. The system's intelligent controls allow for intuitive operation, simplifying complex processes, and providing operators with the tools necessary for maintaining consistency across production cycles.

The ability to synchronize operations with precision makes the I-PRESS system a corner stone of modern pressing technology.

The extensive HUX-ML Series, ranging from 300 to 2000 tons, exemplifies the versatility and robustness of the I-PRESS & Automation control system inaction. Each model within this series is tailored to meet specific industry needs, whether for automotive manufacturing, aerospace, or general metalforming.

The flexibility of the series allows businesses to select a press that aligns perfectly with their operational demands. The integration of I-PRESS ensures that each machine in the series maintains an industry standard for precision, efficiency, and reliability, reinforcing Sutherland Presses' commitment to pioneering solutions for modern manufacturers.

The introduction of the HUX-ML-550 and the broader HUX-ML Series marks a new era in press technology. By leveraging the power of Link Motion and the sophistication of the I-PRESS & Automation controls, these machines offer manufacturers an edge in competitive markets.

The combination of reduced slide speed, enhanced control, and versatility translates into improved material handling, reduced operational costs, and increased product quality. As industries continue to evolve towards more complex and demanding applications, the HUX-ML Series stands ready to deliver unparalleled performance, driving efficiencies, and fostering innovation in metal stamping processes.
