Folks,

I just learned of a modification to hydraulic presses that might be of some interest.

Limit switches with a DRO (digital read out) attached.

I want to take my press to the next level.

Any info would be of value.

Go to the Educational Videos Forum, check out the Hydraulic Press Controls by Joshua States. It might be what you are looking for or maybe some help anyway.

Anthony,

Perfect, just what I was looking for.

Thank you very much.

I'm looking at doing this on a Uncle Al press though.

I'm also thinking a DRO for the fine adjustment.

With the info. provided I will throw this at our controls technician at work. Hopefully it will wind up being a plug and play mod.

Thanks again.
