NASHUA, NH, May 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) Greenerd Press & Machine Company, Inc. announced today they recently designed, built and delivered a 1,000 ton hydraulic coining press to Global Parts Networks, LLC (GPN), a company that manufactures brake shoes, brake shoe kits, friction material and related parts for tractor trailers and heavy duty trucks. The Greenerd press was delivered to GPN's South Bend, Indiana facility and features a unique design which enhances part quality and reduces cycle time for the manufacturer. (http://www.greenerd.com/) The new press is the second of two Greenerd presses at GPN and is being used to coin re-manufactured brake shoes in a single-stroke, hand-fed operation.

The Greenerd straight-side, 8-point gib-guided press features a 36" x 36" bed, 28" of daylight, an adjustable stroke of up to 12", distance and pressure reversal, pressing speeds up to 23" per minute, and a pre-slow down circuit to set height for changeover from rapid advance speed to pressing speed. For operational safety, the press is guarded by vertical light curtains on the front of the press and hard guarding on the sides and rear.

"Not only is our new Greenerd press extremely reliable," commented Mr. Gene Damron, General Manager of GPN, "but it has also improved the quality of the parts we are producing. In addition, the press increased our efficiency by significantly reducing cycle times."

"We are very pleased to provide this press for GPN," said Mr. Tim Dining, President at Greenerd Press & Machine Co. "It is an excellent example of our ability to design and build successful hydraulic solutions and it also demonstrates our strength in the automotive sector."
