New Life for a Vertical Workhorse
A customer running a Pines 5T vertical press bender needed to get an aging machine back into reliable production without the cost of buying new. The ram had wear across all sides, the spindle bearings were past their service life, and the controls were dated — a textbook candidate for a full rebuild.
This rebuild covered a new Current Tech digital control with an operator remote stand, new Vickers hydraulic valves and pump, a new motor and coupling, a fully re-ground ram with new phenolic wear strips, and rebuilt or new hydraulic cylinders throughout. Backed by a 1-year warranty.

“The greatest improvement on this machine is the linear rail and pressure die holder with the outboard support because I can move it in and out with one hand.”
