Storage and transport

sleevePort™ mobile sleeve store

Modular storage with multi-station transport. Sleeves are stored upright, which avoids the deformation that comes from long-term horizontal storage. A patented anti-sway structure and arc-shaped columns make tilt-in loading easier and reduce the lifting effort.

  • Upright storage prevents long-term deformation
  • Tilt-in loading, less lifting effort
  • Patented anti-sway structure

Plate mounting

Semi-automatic and automatic plate mounters

Mounter interfaces are matched to the sleeveX™ sleeve. Vision compensation works to 0.005 mm, so plates are positioned to that accuracy on the sleeve.

Service

Repair, upgrade and application advice

01

Sleeve repair and upgrade

We sold and repaired plate sleeves of this type for twenty years before we built our own. Damaged sleeves can be restored, and in many cases upgraded, which extends their service life.

02

Sleeve programme consulting

We look at your presses and your job mix and propose a sleeve programme: which models, which wall thicknesses, how many, and how to store them.
