What is a Tryout Press?
Tryout presses are designed to minimize the die or mold tryout time during pre-production testing. These presses can simulate production press operating parameters, resulting in highly accurate preproduction. This approach keeps your high-production presses free for output, ensuring your main manufacturing lines stay on schedule.
Streamline Tryouts. Maximize Uptime.
Macrodyne spotting machines are used to verify the contact surfaces of the upper and lower portions of the die or mold to ensure dimensional accuracy and precision. These machines feature oversized guiding components and high depth-to-span ratios to ensure sound platen alignment. With Macrodyne’s precision hydraulic and electrical controls, you gain accurate, repeatable operation throughout spotting and production cycles.
Each machine is custom-designed for its unique application and available with a variety of frame styles and features, including:
- 180-degree rotating platens – simplify access to dies during setup
- Automatic clamping and lifting packages – reduce changeover time
- Servo-controlled slide parallelism – maintain perfect alignment and accuracy
- Rolling bolsters – enable quick, safe die changes
- Tilting platens – improve operator access and visibility
Try-Out Presses with Full Production Capabilities
Our proprietary control systems let you simulate the performance of a full production press, ensuring highly accurate pre-production trials.
Oversized guiding components and high depth-to-span ratios keep the platens perfectly aligned, while precision hydraulic and electrical controls deliver repeatable, reliable results.
Die Spotting & Try-Out Presses for Metalforming & Plastics
Macrodyne tryout presses are built with the same standards as our heavy-duty production presses. Flexible and versatile, they can optimize your production parameters during setup and handle full production runs when required, without compromising equipment life.
Expedite Pre-Production Trials
Macrodyne tryout presses shorten the time needed for die and mold testing. By reducing trial time, you free up production presses for higher output and faster turnaround, which is critical for short-run or just-in-time production.
