The front of a business's press line requires lots of attention and maintenance: from ensuring that multiple blanks are not accidentally put into the press at one time to job changeovers, the process can be tedious and unsafe.
Norgren's Transforming Tooling for the Press Room Destacker eliminates the need for manual job changeovers by automatically adjusting it's position for each job, and includes double blank sensing to protect your press from damages or crashes - so you can focus on what's important.
