Our team of committed engineers comes from a diverse mechanical background, including machine design, project management, and automation experience. This is a team of people who love designing machinery and never stop innovating. A good press design begins with the basic building blocks of project management, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical design. Everything engineered at Neff Press is done in-house; we don’t outsource our designs. We can confidently say that our entire engineering team is well-versed in these areas, which results in high-quality press that will last a lifetime.
We review project requirements early to define deliverables, timelines, specifications, and customer expectations.
Our team works with customers through online or in-person design reviews to keep the press aligned with the application.
Neff Press supports process qualifications, factory acceptance testing on our floor (FAT), and site acceptance at the customer’s factory (SAT) before final production handoff.
At our company, we proudly build custom hydraulic presses right here in the USA. Our commitment to quality and innovation ensures that our products meet the highest standards in the industry, contributing to the success of various sectors.
Application experience helps Neff Press select the correct press frame based on loading conditions, tool clearance, and other production factors.
Complex 3-D CAD modeling via SolidWorks Professional, Finite Element Analysis, and Motion Simulation via SolidWorks Simulation Pro help ensure a robust press frame.
Wide application experience helps our team select tool steels for demanding press applications, tooling requirements, and production environments.
Neff Press can integrate coil feeds, indexers, shuttles, robots, pick and place units, quick die change, die racking equipment, and material handling devices.
Rack and pinon variable-speed multi-axis drives, Drive-by-Wire joystick control, scales, vision, contact and non-contact probes, augers, gearboxes, and roller chain can support more complete press systems.
Our team can collaborate with customer part and die files through multiple 3-D file formats, simulate machine installations and rigging in a 3-D factory environment, and integrate robotics to increase output, precision, speed, and safety.
Hydraulic Design
Proprietary integrated manifold blocks, test ports, filtration, particle counters, cooling, and sealed systems help support cleaner troubleshooting and fluid condition management.
Load-holding check circuits, accumulators, variable-speed pump drives, and optimal motor selection through RMS sizing help improve hydraulic efficiency.
Redundant valving, high safety factors on pressure-rated components, and compatibility with Water-Glycol, Quintolubric, EcoSafe, and other fire-resistant oils support demanding applications.
Electrical systems can be designed around UL 508a certification, NFPA 70, NFPA 79, and customer-specific machine standards.
Neff Press supports ANSI B11.2 (1995), CSA Z142, EN693, and pertinent OSHA standards, with a Neff Press engineer serving on the ANSI B11.2 committee.
When needed, Neff Press works with the approving entity, such as a Pre-start contractor for CSA Z142, to help expedite sign-off by the third-party inspector.
Explosion-proof designs can comply with NEC 505 and ATEX for hazardous production environments and specialized applications.
Our team works with PLC Programming, Allen Bradley Rockwell Toolkit, Siemens TIA Portal, Delta RMC Tools, and AutoCAD Electrical for schematic design and panel layout.
Safety controls can range from a safety relay to full safety PLC solutions, with reporting for OEE, pass/fail data, press-fit curves, in-die quality analysis, and diagnostics.
