Over £100,000 has been invested in developing new systems that can be configured to suit any size or make of power press and a number of units are already in use with local firms.
Tony Carter, director of Titan, explains: “By installing load monitoring equipment, manufacturers can ensure that they are getting optimum performance from their presses. Our equipment enables immediate diagnosis of load faults, which ensures greater accuracy when producing components, resulting in less waste and downtime and ultimately, more efficient production.
"Ensuring that the press is operating at the desired tonnage can also reduce maintenance costs and prolongs the life of both tool and press. Accurate load information also allows offset loads to be correctly balanced, meaning the press and die will operate more efficiently and again, maintenance will be reduced.”
As part of its initial growth, the firm has already created three new staff to help with the roll-out of the business, including sales manager Kevin Gardner and business manager Michelle Hall.
“Installing a load monitor or making sure existing monitors are properly calibrated makes perfect business sense as, for a relatively small investment, a load monitor will pay for itself many times over in terms of increased productivity and the protection it offers the more costly tooling and press,” says Hall.
In addition to producing and supplying new systems, Titan operates a recalibration and repair service for most makes and models of existing load monitoring equipment.
