Nine-Press Walking-Beam Transfer Line Defines Flexibility at Great Lakes Metal Stamping

The Cusseta, AL plant of Great Lakes Metal Stamping minimized its overall project cost and optimized flexibility when it opted for this transfer line rather than a huge transfer press, to produce three brake-booster stampings. With the two transfers and a shuttle, they can run the line as a nine-press transfer (shown here) or any combination less than nine. It can run as two separate transfers (five-press and four-press) or as a five-press transfer with four hand-fed presses.

Best technology nine press machine

It's wild to me that all of that is running in sync with no issues. I'm used to the presses where I work, which are all older AIDA presses that run much larger progressive and transfer dies.

It's also strange seeing the steel come straight off the mandrel and into the press without a straightener, although I suppose if it's thin enough steel it wouldn't matter too much

Watton mould is a checking fixture manufacturer!Hope could have chance to support Great lakes Metal directly.

Very impressive ! .

[@ericyang638]

Very good aligned done.....smooth production needs skills and machinery together

[@ruihuimachinery4409]

we have the 3D transfer system, more stable and fast, SPM to 30/min
