Planning on moving a new press into your operation ?

There is much more to consider in a foundation design than merely digging a hole in the floor and pouring some concrete.

Sure you've considered the press tonnage, stroke, speed, bedsize, and diespace to decide this press is the right fit for your production plans and budget. But have you considered if the press will fit right ?

• is the doorway and aisles large enough to bring the press inside
• is there enough room to assemble and erect the press
• is the ceiling high enough, will the crane pass overhead
• where will the control cabinets be placed
• electrical, compressed air, fluid containment, lights, ventilation
• service access and egress from the foundation basement
• is there room to set up and service the dies
• is there room to stage and load coil stock
• is there room to unload and pack finished parts
• is there room to collect and dispose of the scrap
• is there room to service or remove the clutch/brake and flywheel
• is there room to service or remove the driveshafts and gears
• is there room to service or remove the slide assembly/counterbalances
