- Increased capacity for bigger and more complex compound and
progressive tooling
- Enhanced productivity with multi-up tooling, enabling
simultaneous production of multiple parts per stroke
- Capability to feed longer single parts and process higher stock
thicknesses up to ⅜"
These features make it one of the largest and most advanced
presses in the Northeastern United
States, enabling Lutco to offer larger and more complex
components efficiently.
This investment was strategically made in response to evolving
customer needs, enhancing Lutco's ability to undertake previously
impossible projects. "Our new press increases our production
capacity significantly and allows us to embrace projects requiring
larger, thicker, and more varied materials," explained Bob Santoro, Lutco's National Sales Manager. "It
is a game-changer in how we respond to the complex needs of our
clients."
Material Versatility and Advanced Engineering
Lutco's new press can process a wide variety of raw materials,
including carbon steels, aluminum, stainless steel, HSLA,
galvalume, Chromium-Vanadium steel (AISI 6150), and galvanized
steel. Lutco's engineering team expertly utilizes compound and
progressive dies, along with secondary operations, depending on
volume to optimize cost-effectiveness for customers.
The press features a state-of-the-art control package that
streamlines operations, reduces setup times, and increases
productivity. This technological advancement is pivotal in
maintaining Lutco's industry leadership by setting new standards
for operational efficiency.
