10 questions, that determine a press invest

Anyone evaluating mechanical presses for deep drawing/transfer (10-120 t) should not only compare the purchase price. These questions are decisive in practice:

1. What OEE is realistic, including all down times
2. How stabile is the quality over all shifts – defects, spring back
3. What change over time will really be achieved in my product mix – < 30 min.
4. How is tool protection defined, to avoid costs.
5. What offerings for line integration are available – coiling, greasing, sorting, checking
6. What material width is covered, What thickness is covered, What alloys are covered
7. What transfer strategy is a good fit – mechanical coupling or servo coupling
8. Availability on Service and Spare parts to reduce my downtime
9. How is the ramp up stratey – support during process setup and stabilizing
10. What is my request on scalability – other products, other tools

If you decide these points for yourself, press capex becomes a strategic product positioning
