The metal forming industry is evolving to a new level of connectivity and automation, and I-PRESS has been designed to bring your press operations into the 21st century.

Our goal is to create the safest and most fully featured press controls available which is now known at the I-PRESS family of controls. We build them on two hardware and software platforms, Rockwell AB & Omron.

The I-PRESS is intuitive for operators, feature rich, uses industry standard safety features, and customizable to customers’ unique applications. More importantly, the I-Press control system is shipped ready to integrate with user facilities’ enterprise network. This gives customers access to valuable data from the shop floor, which enables them to log, analyze, and interpret information to make intelligent decisions. Ultimately, the I-PRESS will improve productivity and reduce unplanned downtime.”
