"Say Yes To SEYI" Customer Success Story: AUTOMOTIVE STAMPER SHIFTS TO BROADER MARKETS WITH NUMEROUS SEYI PRESSES |
|
Twenty years ago, Mexican stampers had a fairly straightforward path to success-often tied to a stamped parts dedication for one or two different customers. For these same companies today, survival has led to market diversification, increased services provided, and often, new manufacturing methods to improve upon quality and/or production rates. Gobar Systems, Inc., has met the challenges of an ever-changing marketplace...and has done so with the help of SEYI Presses, Inc.
"We were tooled up to do a lot of GM's component/bracket work in the mid- to late-eighties," stated Rolando. "We went from no area competition in 1986 to four local competitors in 1992 to more than a dozen area companies vying for their type of business today. We knew that we had to change our lower tonnage, c-frame press stampings to produce larger and more sophisticated stampings and assemblies." And that took both a broader vision and a new mix of presses.
"Our older, lower tech smaller presses weren't going to allow us to meet our growth goals," states Rolando. "We were using the used equipment from our German joint venture partner initially and struggled with maintenance issues. We then started investigating all of the press technologies out there. We liked what we saw in SEYI's presses, both in technology offering and purchase price. And after twenty years of SEYI's in operation here, we haven't regretted the decision once."
A total of nearly thirty SEYI presses have been installed over the last twenty years. Gap frame and straight side presses ranging from 66 to 660 ton models are used throughout the plant.
Sometimes, using higher technology can allow you to make the part/assembly better and/or faster than traditional methods. Gobar sees SEYI Link Motion technology in that vein. "We were easily sold on the fact that link motion could grow our productivity rates in very substantial amounts over traditional presses," explains Rolando. SEYI's link motion design offers the following benefits:
- increased approach and return slide speeds paired with appropriate pressworking speeds enable faster production rates (up to a 30% increase in many cases),
- reduced material springback due to slide velocity slowdown,
- extended die life performance due to decreased shock, noise, heat and vibration,
- multiple functions in a single machine...draw work, forming, blanking, etc.
One would think that getting the customer to believe in a totally new process-moving from hydraulic pressworking to do the draw work in a progressive die mechanical pressworking operation-is the toughest part of the job. "Because we felt confident that we could switch the process over, we had their blessing to proceed with prototyping, and, with that success, on to prove all of the production tests for this part," stated Rolando. "We said that we could increase production rates by two or three times over their older methods and so they came in and validated our processes. But it takes a special kind of trust and respect between the customer and vendor to make something like this work out. The SEYI link motion presses were key to this success."

Recent Installation:
INSULFAB GETS 4th SEYI Press |
 A new 66 ton SN1-Series Mechanical C-Frame Press has been installed recently at INSULFAB Plastic's Spartanburg, SC facility to help increase their overall stamping capabilities.
The company specializes in PCB assembly solutions, custom machining and die-cutting of various plastics. Their unique stamping processes and state-of-the-art tooling technologies require high speed stamping presses with rigid construction and superior accuracy.
INSULFAB has been working with SEYI since 2003 to expand and improve their stamping capabilities. Company personnel worked closely with SEYI's Taiwan and American engineering sales, service and technical support teams, as well as SEYI's local sales reps in South Carolina.
 Over the last several years, INSULFAB has purchased both custom automated stamping press cells and standard inventory presses to meet production requirements. SEYI served as system integrator and worked with numerous suppliers to meet company objectives. Tool tryout and press run-off was facilitated by SEYI at their Tullahoma, TN facility.
