Contract to refurbish metalforming press

Rhodes Interform, a UK manufacturer of hot and cold forming equipment for metals and composites, has won a new order with Braime Pressings in Leeds, UK, to refurbish one of its existing metalforming presses.

Rhodes Interform will fit the press with new electrics, including control panel, operator station, human machine interface (HMI) and software.

The press will also be updated with several safety features, such as new light curtains, linear transducers, mechanical safety hold up devices and guarding to help ensure the machine is brought up to the latest UK Conformity Assessed marking standards, the company said.

Rhodes Interform will also install a new hydraulic power pack with improved energy efficiency motors.
