Six-ton punch press installed in one piece to diminish reassembly errors and expedite time to full operation.

Oberschleissheim, Germany – Schreiner ProTech, a Germany-based global leader in developing and manufacturing innovative functional labels with value-added benefits for the automotive and engineering-based industries, has installed an intricate six-ton punch press into its new Pressure Compensation Seals Process Center. Notably, the installation was performed in one piece, which involved lifting the cumbersome machinery three stories in the air and painstakingly placing it into its new home. This all-in-one-piece approach eliminated the possibilities for errors in the dissemnly and reassembly process, and also will expedite the equipment’s window to full operation.
