INCHING CIRCUIT FOR IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY AND UPTIME

Airam is continuously working to develop technology that delivers flexibility and helps operators increase uptime. Airam’s newest development is an inching circuit for its pneumatic press models. Operators can inch the slide up or down in small increments, stopping anywhere in the working stroke cycle of the press. Operators can also stop as many times as needed. This feature provides the capability to inch through a punch stroke to ensure die set up is correct and perform other functions like setting the pilot position on the roll feed, spray lubrication and other ancillary equipment. Production set-up is quicker and the potential for production of bad parts eliminated. Airam’s inching circuit is more flexible than inching features on mechanical press models which require operators to continue through the bottom of a stroke cycle.
