A plasma table retrofit is never just a controls swap. On this Haco Kompact 6020 in Nebraska, the goal was to bring the machine back as a complete cutting system, with new motion hardware, clean wiring, updated height control, and proper CAD/CAM/CNC training for the operators. The table already had a capable cutting source in the Hypertherm 260 XD. The work focused on replacing the aging motion and control components around it, then calibrating the full system so the machine

A press brake that locks in a safe state is doing its job, but it still stops production until the root cause is found. During a service call on an HTC press brake in California, the issue showed up when the ram reached TDC and the light curtain was interrupted. The machine entered its safe condition and would not continue as expected.

This California service call involved a US Industrial press brake with two connected complaints. The mute function was not working properly, and the ram was jerking during slow-speed operation. The repair came down to a careful check of the left control box, the cam and switch setup, and the hydraulic speed adjustments.

A plasma table can only cut as well as it is set up, maintained, and understood by the team using it. On this service visit, the focus was clear: get the Haco Kompact plasma table with a Hypertherm source running cleanly, then give the operators practical, hands-on training they could use right away.

A press brake can only make good parts when the machine, tooling, controller, and operator are all working from the same playbook. On a Synchromaster 240 ton, 12 foot press brake, even small errors in depth, back gauge position, or tooling data can show up quickly in the finished bend.

A motor protector that trips as soon as an ironworker starts is more than a nuisance. It stops production, points to an electrical fault, and can hide a second issue in the control or hydraulic circuit. This service call on an Edwards Ironworker started with a tripping motor protector and ended with a confirmed motor replacement, corrected wiring, sensor fault finding, and a successful test run.

When a Haco Euromaster press brake starts acting erratically, it can disrupt production and cause costly damage. One common sign of trouble is the ram moving crookedly, which often points to hydraulic or electronic problems. In this case, a broken guiding bearing and CAN bus alarms signaled deeper issues with the control boards. This post walks through the steps diagnosing and fixing these problems, restoring the press brake to smooth operation.

Maintaining your Haco Q3 Trumpf style turret punch is essential to keep it running smoothly and avoid costly downtime. Over time, hydraulic hoses wear out, pneumatic fittings leak, and finger cylinders lose their seal integrity.
