Purchasing
capital equipment, such as hydraulic molding presses and
related systems, represents a major investment for companies.
Maintaining a hydraulic press system at peak efficiency is a crucial
part of getting the most out of the investment. As part of our
commitment to be Your Partner in Processing,
French has developed maintenance and calibration programs
designed to keep presses (new, used or rebuilt) in top
operating condition, to help our customers maximize
productivity and make higher
profits.

Regular maintenance and calibration of hydraulic press systems lowers
production costs and maximizes productivity by minimizing scrap
rates, breakdowns and production downtime. Factory-trained
French technicians perform these services at the customers
facility, typically on either an annual or semi-annual basis.
These programs are offered as standardized packages or
tailored to fit a customers specific needs and they are
available separately or together. Packages can be quoted with
a new hydraulic press, a press rebuild/retrofit or for an existing
system currently in operation.
The maintenance program covers the entire hydraulic press system,
including power unit and controls. Following a multi-point
checklist, technicians will check for wear, damage, and
non-functional components, and make adjustments as necessary.
A prioritized list of items that need to be addressed is
compiled and reviewed with the customer at the end of the
visit. Typically, two to three hydraulic press systems can be serviced
in a standard eight hour day. A written proposal will be
supplied for any replacement items mutually determined to be
required.
The hydraulic press calibration program also follows a multi-point
checklist to ensure that all system parameters and components
are operating at the desired specifications. Typically, three
to four hydraulic press systems can be calibrated in a standard eight
hour day. As with the maintenance program, a written proposal
will be supplied for any replacement items mutually determined
to be required.
