Greenerd has designed, engineered and built this automated press system, which manufactures aluminum electrical splices at a rate of 60 parts per minute. The system feeds a coil of aluminum through a straightening and shearing process controlling the weight of slugs which are fed up an inclined custom Greenerd-designed conveyor and diverter, separating the slugs into lanes for increased throughput. In total, the system performs multiple operations from straightening and shearing to dimpling, hole formation, chamfering and grooving via a custom servo-driven shuttle system.

“We are very pleased to provide SmartPAC PRO users with even greater Die Protection functionality,” said Jim Finnerty, Product Manager, Wintriss Controls Group. “Users will see a familiar programming interface, allowing them to quickly get up to speed on new Advanced DiProPAC.”

Highlights include a customizable green sensor type called Green Flex. This versatile cyclic sensor monitoring type now allows for specification of the required state of the sensor at the start and end of the ready window. The sensor can be set to require a specific number of actuations inside the ready window.

A Masking feature is available on most Green Sensor types, including Green Flex, and is used to monitor events that occur regularly but not on every stroke. For example, applications might include gagging, zig-zag feeds or where multiple cycles are needed to produce part feature events that need monitoring on only some cycles.

To eliminate nuisance stops caused by the material “jumping” when the die opens, a Bypass Window can be programmed for static sensors. During the bypass, the sensor will be ignored, so any nuisance fault during that window will not stop the press. Outside of the bypass window, the sensor is monitored normally.

To save time and increase efficiency, an Auto Reset function has been added to the static sensors so that displayed errors, when removing a finished part, are automatically cleared when the sensor input is appropriately satisfied.

Advanced DiProPAC features also include improved handling of sensor names, sensor enable mode is now selectable by tool, minimum actuation time setting is added to Red and Yellow sensors, and more.

Many new tower block development projects face a common challenge: how to install large, heavy pieces of equipment into the building’s energy centre, typically located in the basement. Specifying the optimal hoists is paramount to project success. Fortunately, the subcontractor supplying and installing the energy room’s plant for this particular project knew where to turn for a turnkey lifting solution: Hoist & Winch Ltd.

Hoist & Winch has extensive experience in all kinds of construction and industrial lifting applications. The company offers sales, installation, service, inspection, repair and hire services, with a special emphasis on project work. Supplying the optimal solution, with safety as the number one priority, is always the objective.

During the design phase, after formal tender and contract award, Hoist & Winch set about identifying the optimal solution by carefully assessing the specific lifting requirements. The project required the installation of hoists on both the upper and lower ground floor levels to ensure the successful lifting and transfer of large energy plant. It was clear from the outset that the solution would need to overcome the issue of very tight headroom clearances due to the size of the equipment.

After thoroughly considering all aspects of the project, Hoist & Winch Ltd was able to put forward its proposal, recommending two William Hacket low-headroom manual hoists, both with a hand-geared trolley. Offering a safe working load (SWL) of 2.5t each, the hoists provide 8m of lifting height and run on beam lengths of 8.5m and 7.0m.

Hoist & Winch duly submitted its design proposal, including drawings and structural calculations, for approval by engineers at the main contractor. Following approval, the company commenced manufacture before delivery to site.

During the installation phase, Hoist & Winch tested the installation anchor points to 1t before raising each beam into position using hand chain blocks. Elevating the beams to full height and clamping them hard against the concrete ceiling ready for drilling required the use of special lifting rigs. Once in position, the company proceeded with drilling operations and resin anchor installation for all ceiling anchor points after meticulously cleaning each hole with a special heavy-duty internal brush and suction pump. Following the specified resin curing time, Hoist & Winch tightened each anchor bolt to the required torque levels.

LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspection of the lifting beams and manual chain hoist units was the final operation. This activity included dynamic load testing of both beam lengths with a 2.5t skid-mounted test load followed by 125% static proof load test in accordance with BS 2853 2011. As a point of note, following customer handover, the hoists were to remain in place for use by the on-site maintenance team.

“We provided the client with a comprehensive project records and documentation package upon completion of works, which is standard practice,” says Hoist & Winch Director Andy Allen. “We then went through the handover process to ensure total peace of mind for our client. At Hoist & Winch, our focus is on ensuring customers benefit from our exceptionally knowledgeable team who never fail to deliver on their promise of providing a detailed and proficient approach to every project.”

The aisles in modern warehouses are getting ever narrower, their racks ever taller and the dimensions of the goods stored in them ever more varied – yet heavy loads still need to be transported and stored efficiently.

This is where the DIMOS Hawk really comes into its own, reducing the need for fiddly manoeuvres that take up time and space with its 360° continuous steering and ensuring maximum efficiency when moving loads in any direction. The Hawk’s strengths are particularly welcome in the building materials, steel and wood trades and for door and window manufacturers or companies in the plant and mechanical engineering industries. Its versatility makes it the perfect truck for mixed use, where both palletised loads and long goods need to be transported sideways safely.

A compact champion for confined spaces

Available with a load capacity of 3 t, the Hawk impresses right across the board – from its flexible, fully electric steering to its compact design, which makes it a nimble companion for challenging storage spaces. This allows users to lay their warehouses out efficiently and maximise available space. Besides being low-noise, energy-efficient and emission-free, the fully electric drive also contains no hydraulic components, making it extremely low-maintenance and long-lasting. The braked load wheels fitted to the three-wheel running gear are another highlight, ensuring safe and even braking and acceleration and maximum directional stability, especially when handling long goods. What is more, the Hawk’s ergonomic crosswise seat cabin gives the operator an excellent all-round view, making operation easier in very tight spaces and during complex manoeuvres.
