Results

Operators and maintenance personnel appreciate the improvements realized with a rebuilt machine.

Operators are no longer required to put their hands in the machinery to make adjustments while the line is running.
All adjustments can be made safely at the operator station.
Slip hazards are eliminated because the upgraded machine does not need hydraulic fluid.
No more stepping around absorbent pads, spill socks or kitty litter.
Maintenance workers do not have to stock or replace frequent failure components such as hoses, fittings or cylinders.
Operators can easily learn to use the touchscreen controls and find that it is easy to repeat projects via on-screen programming.
Manual tweaks are eliminated, so productivity stays high.
