Shuttle Press

Shuttle Bed Presses allow crane loading of heavy parts and promote safety since the shuttle allows the operator to keep hands out from under the ram. These machines can be used with or without dies for assembly, straightening, cutting, and more.

This slab side press (left) features a shuttle table and part indexer, designed for GM Corp. to rivet the ring gear to the yoke assembly.

C-Frame Assembly Presses

C-Frame Assembly Presses are well-suited for creating product lines of smaller parts and components, and can easily be repositioned on a shop floor to suit changes in production line requirements.

This line of 10-ton presses (left) press bearings into steering knuckles and hubs into the bearings for Chrysler Corp. (1998). These assembly presses feature load cells to measure the force (during assembly) and encoders to measure stroke attained during each cycle with “part accept/reject” acknowledgment of each cycle. Graphical waveforms provide “load” vs. “distance attained” information. Since the product is safety-related, a historical record is accumulated for each part.

Similar parts assembly presses at Ford Motor Co. assemble pistons onto rack and pinion steering sectors. Other applications include staking of brackets onto seat belts and crimping of tie rod/ball studs for Dana Corp. and TRW.

Specialty Presses

For the most unique applications, Savage will design and build an application-specific machine, or fully automated system, that satisfies the demands of our customer’s process.

This 20-ton Specialty Press (left) is a fully automated stud pressing machine with a robotic bowl feeder (left, bottom), grippers, loaders, and unloaders.

Pulley Splitting

Savage Engineering is a custom assembly press manufacturer that pioneered the Split Pulley machine over 40 years ago. Our Pulley Splitter combines automated hydraulics with superior frame construction, spindle, slide, bearings, and a guided design for increased accuracy, speed, power, and production.

This Savage specialty machine (left) splits steel disks to manufacture V-pulleys for the lawn and garden industries. The heavy-duty design incorporates massive spindles and bearings on the form and cutter rolls which allows higher RPM. This faster cycling makes Savage the most productive splitter available. Computer-controlled feeds and program storage for each part number.
