We are excited to announce our partnership with Paletti USA, a leading manufacturer of T-slotted aluminum extrusion systems.

With Enerpac's recent acquisition of Equalizer International, we now carry the Equalizer™ range of products including tools for flange alignment, spreading and pulling applications.

Challenge

In order to comply with Federal NHTS standards, our customer - a tire manufacturer, operates machines to measure and record precise forces at failure in a variety of destructive tests. The test must be accurate to the nearest 1% of the measured force, which could be up to 20,000 lbs. Traditionally, hydraulic cylinders were used for this type of application, however there were environmental and safety regulatory concerns overseas that drove the customer to consider electro-mechanical alternatives.

Challenge

We had a customer routing plastic tubing to numerous actuators with flow controls at each port. This created a problem with long runs crossing over each other and also potential kink points. In addition, the position of the actuators made it difficult, at times, to access the flow controls.
