The Beckwood Press Company will be demonstrating 5 new presses at the Metalform trade show March 25-28, 2007. These press examples include the launching of our new DJ-Benchtop Series of presses along with the next generation of Accu-Flex Servo Motion Technology.
The show is located at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, and Beckwood will be located in booth number 1115.
Additionally, Beckwood will be exhibiting a new 230 ton capacity, 30 x 30 4-Post Press along with a new hydraulic press display. This display will highlight the latest in hydraulic press technology for presses of unlimited options and design. If you are interested in attending, please contact us for a ticket voucher for a free show ticket, compliments of Beckwood.
Beckwood's Accu-Flex Presses are available from 5 to 150+ tons, and provide customers unlimited flexibility with precision performance for both position and force control. Beckwood's Accu- Flex Press utilizes servo motion control instead of servo hydraulics, allowing for a more efficient system when compared to competitive equipment. These presses are built standard with a touch screen operator interface, that has fully programmable control systems, Go/No-Go options and on the fly part verification. Additional benefits of servo motion control in lieu of hydraulics is: noise reduction, simplicity of design and reduced operating and maintenance costs. These presses are suitable for production as well as research and development or laboratory environments.

Hydraulic Press with 2 Axis Active Leveling Technology
Beckwood Press Company has recently delivered an innovative new Hydraulic Press made specifically with four corner, two-axis active leveling for precision parallelism of the press. This 230 ton capacity press is used to form radiator tanks for a major Construction Industry Manufacturer.
The press was specifically engineered for the customer's non dedicated, off-center loading forming requirements. The two-axis self leveling, precision parallelism control can be programmed to a desired cut height of +- .001" with performance of +-.002". The Beckwood Press includes a programmable touch screen operator interface and is integrated with closed loop precision control over position and pressure. The press was integrated with a two operator foot pedal control system for efficient operation and includes the required safety guards and light curtains for four side access protection. It was built to accommodate a customized 16" stroke; 40" x 60" bolsters and includes an automatic ram slide lubrication system.

High Precision Dispensing for High Viscosity Fluids
Beckwood Press Company worked in partnership for more than a year to develop an innovative precision dispensing system for ultra-high viscosity polymers. The system concept originated from the patent pending servo motion control technology used in Beckwood's line of Accu-Flex presses. This specific system utilizes two independent dispensing cylinders that are powered and controlled for precise volume displacement by controlling the plunger or piston rate. Cycle parameters allow for the operator to establish a cumulative volume payout based upon a fixed ratio between the two dispensing cylinders. The all stainless system was designed for highly abrasive medium and includes electric heating to 250?F.
