A stamping press uses high force to shape metal with a die. Because of this heavy force, the press must remain properly balanced and level.
If the press is not level, it can cause:
- Uneven pressure
- Faster wear of the die
- Damage to the press
- Poor production quality
- Extra vibration
Leveling Solutions
Adjustable Leveling WedgesHeavy presses can be mounted on adjustable wedges. These wedges help fine-tune the height and balance of the machine.
Vibration Isolation PadsHeavy-duty isolation pads reduce vibration created during stamping and help protect nearby machines.
Air Springs or Support BlocksFor very large presses, air springs or special support blocks can be installed in the floor to provide better leveling and vibration control.
Regular press leveling and maintenance help improve machine life, accuracy and production performance.
A vibration site survey can also help identify the correct leveling and vibration isolation solution for your press.
