It is important to distinguish between process and press controls.

  • Press controls run the press itself and provide critical safety functions. They handle hardware components such as motor control, clutch brake systems, lubrication systems, etc.
  • Process controls function as the brain of the press. They interact with the equipment, monitor press and die operations, mistake-proof the process and provide signals to the auxiliary equipment.

TCR installs a wide range of press control systems from simple manual operations to sophisticated progressive die or transfer systems.

These systems offer the following benefits:

  • Press, feed, and auxiliary system functions are seamlessly integrated
  • Maximum ease of operation for complicated production systems
  • Reduced downtime
