Executive Forum?Servo-Driven Presses

Leibin—Typically, the payback on an OMET servo press is two years or less. Through job cost analysis with customers, [we have found that] one OMET Flexy servo press can replace two or three older geared presses.

Rosenbaum—Servo presses should be viewed as a long-term investment; the short-term costs rarely project an attractive ROI. But the short-term benefits are substantial in terms of throughput, quality, and performance. The more efficient your total operation is, the faster you will able to justify the purchase. If your operational efficiencies are marginal, adding a servo press will only exacerbate the situation and payback will be elusive. The decision to buy servo is a decision to invest in positive future growth.
