If you're chasing extrusion quality but keep hitting walls with surface defects, inconsistent flow or wear that seems to come out of nowhere -- your press alignment might be the hidden culprit.
Even the best equipment can underperform when it’s out of line. At Dunaway, we’ve seen it all, so we’ve outlined 7 common alignment mistakes that can quietly wreck your production. Don't let a misaligned press bleed your bottom line.
At Dunaway, we’ve seen how something as fundamental as alignment can make or break the performance of an extrusion press. When a press is even just slightly misaligned, it does more than shorten the lifespan of components. It erodes extrusion quality, introduces inconsistencies and ultimately chip...
