As Service & Parts Lead at Mac-Tech, I work closely with our customers to ensure their Ermaksan tandem press brake systems remain in peak condition. My team and I understand how crucial it is to minimize downtime and keep your operations moving. Sourcing the right parts quickly and providing expert guidance are at the heart of what we do, so you can count on reliable performance from your equipment.
Common Challenges in Maintaining Ermaksan Tandem Press Brake Setups
Maintaining tandem press brake setups presents unique challenges. These sophisticated machines rely on synchronized hydraulic and electronic systems, demanding a careful approach to service. One frequent issue is hydraulic fluid contamination, which can lead to erratic ram movement or pressure loss. Electrical faults, especially in CNC controls, can halt production unexpectedly if not addressed promptly. Wear and tear on high-stress components like seals, pumps, and valves is another reality, particularly in demanding environments. Ensuring parts compatibility and rapid availability is essential, as even a short delay can disrupt schedules and impact productivity.
Top 7 Most Requested Service Parts
Over the years, I’ve tracked which service parts are most commonly needed for Ermaksan tandem brake setups. These are the components we keep ready to ship, based on real-world demand:
- Hydraulic Seals and Gaskets: Critical for maintaining system pressure and preventing leaks.
- Hydraulic Pumps: Wear over time can cause pressure drops, so replacements are frequently requested.
- Proportional Valves: Essential for precise ram control and synchronization between tandem units.
- CNC Control Panels and Keypads: Heavy use can lead to button failure or display issues.
- Linear Encoders and Sensors: Accurate feedback ensures synchronized operation and safety.
- Backgauge Motors and Drives: These components are vital for repeatable accuracy and can fail with heavy use.
- Safety Light Curtains and Switches: Required for operator safety and often replaced due to wear or accidental damage.
Having these parts on hand allows us to respond quickly, reducing costly downtime and keeping your production on track.
How Expert Support Prevents Downtime and Extends Machine Life
Preventative maintenance is the most effective way to avoid unexpected failures. Regular inspection of hydraulic systems, checking for leaks, monitoring fluid cleanliness, and verifying the integrity of seals and hoses can prevent major issues before they arise. Updating software and calibrating CNC controls also ensures consistent accuracy. Our team offers tailored maintenance schedules and can help train your staff to spot early warning signs. Fast, reliable parts sourcing is only part of the equation—expert troubleshooting and support complete the picture, helping you extend the life of your press brake investment.
