Combined clutch, brake ensures good start/stop
Combined hydraulic friction clutch and brake unit, mounted on the crankshaft, ensures exceptionally good stop/start control, for when the press is operated in second op. or pitch-and-trip modes.
The Rhodes open-fronted presses, modified to be integrated within two new press lines, ands programmed to operate sequentially with roll form operations, will produce upright sections for heavy gauge steel shelving.
To meet increasing demand and ensure continuity of production, Spur Shelving requires robot presses with a proven track record for quality and reliability.
As with all Rhodes presses, a generous frame fabrication, stress relieved to withstand continuous operation on a multi-shift work pattern, will be supplied to accommodate Spur Shelving's specific tooling requirements.
Joseph Rhodes has designed and manufactured five presses for Spur Shelving in recent years.
Each offers innovative design and quality build supported by comprehensive after-sales-service, helping Spur Shelving to maintain its position of one of Europe1s leading suppliers of shelving solutions.
