State-of-the-art and high-performance stamping equipment in the press shop and yet the desired production volume is far from being achieved? ... or do you think a specific sheet metal component / tool should in principle achieve a higher output rate, even though it is much slower in real terms?
With the following easy-to-use tips, you can identify potential optimization potential for more stroke rate and ask your setup staff the right questions.

Maximum stroke rates on presses are an obvious must in times of enormous demand, no question.
As soon as the demand for formed parts drops, it is more important to trim the production to maximum efficiency and thus to optimum stroke rates. Specifically, this means re-adjusting the press and 3-axis transfer settings not only in regard of the absolute number of strokes, but especially in terms of the reduction of maintenance and the energy consumption per manufactured part.
