Press Slide Replacement Wear Strips – 140 Ton 2 Point Gear Eccentric Press (Bliss Welded Products)
Slide/Ram Removal (Bliss Welded Products Press).
Our client required the replacement of synthetic wear strips and machining of steel gibs for their 140 Ton 2 Point Gear Eccentric Press, as guiding and alignment to slide / ram to bolster was excessive causing end product issues. Revro personnel removed the slide/ram using overhead crane and chain blocks.
Work undertaken in Revro workshop
- Removal of the old wear strips and replace with new synthetic wear strips which are oil filled (self lubricating) and can run at zero clearance.
- Removed, machined and replaced existing steel gibs
