About the Command Stamp Press Control

A Metal Stamping Press Control System from Reflex Integration.

Command Stamp allows you to control your metal stamping press with easy installation and operation.

With Command Stamp you will have your press operating quickly and increase the safety and productivity of your metal stamping operations.

"Our Command Stamp power press control is a fast and cost effective solution to increase the safety and productivity of your metal stamping operations."

All across North America and indeed the world, safety concerns continue to rise in prominence and perhaps in no other industry is this more relevant than that of metal stamping.

In the United States alone, power presses on an annual basis are reported to be the cause of 650 worker amputations, based on the most recent data available, which is a totally unacceptable number especially in the case of such irreversible worker injuries.

Many times, the culprits are older and aging power presses which were built in days when the safety of workers was not as paramount. Many power presses still being operated today are decades old and still function effectively from a production perspective. So how do you bring these old work horses up to today’s safety standards without breaking the bank?

One of the big differences today is of course technology. Modern chip based micro computing can allow for much more effective and reliable monitoring and control of safety devices and the presses they are guarding. Press Controls with diverse redundancy can now be employed quite cost effectively to provide that one extra layer of worker security which can make all the difference in preventing these tragedies from occurring on such a regular basis.

OSHA in the United States and the CSA / Provincial Labor Ministries in Canada have now developed and introduced safety codes which make the use of these modern technologies mandatory in the immediate future. Business operators who continue to ignore these codes, recommendations and do not develop plans for compliance leave themselves extremely exposed in the case of resulting accidents which will in the end cost them much more than simply bringing their power press equipment up to snuff.

On top of the safety aspects, such Press Control devices can also increase the operational productivity of power press operations. Automated batch counting and operation, simplified error messaging and trouble shooting can allow operators to more quickly understand
