SEYI SLG Series - Link Motion, Heavy Duty, Deep Draw Presses

Link motion for efficiency and accuracy

SEYI’s SLG model is a heavy duty link motion deep draw press that will increase productivity on your floor while extending the life of your tooling.

The link drive design allows the slide of the press to approach your application quickly, slow down through the draw then return to the top quickly, this allows for your job to be accurate and efficient.

The SLG is available in two versions “H” and “S”. The H version has shorter stokes which allows for a faster speed. The S is the standard stoke but is slower than the H model.

There are a wide array of benefits to adding the SLG to the floor at your facility including but not limited to easy automation integration, increased productivity, and extended die life.

Contact us today and a SEYI representative will assist you in selecting the correct press for your project. Also, watch our brief video below on the SLG and see this press in action and learn even more about this industry leading machine.

Attendees who stopped by were amazed at the speed and low noise of the servo press as it glided through as many as 35 strokes in seconds in vibration mode. Our neighbor in the metalform neighborhood had their servo hammering away shaking the ground, while the SEYI servo make an extrusion look as simple as slicing through a Chicago deep dish pizza.

The attendees were also treated to a brief overview of the SEYI servo control HMI with seven preprogrammed profiles in addition to a free motion profile. The combination of flexibility, ease of use, and control all led booth attendees to the same conclusion; The SEYI servo press is an outstanding value that will add life to your expensive and important tooling and will allow your company to be competitive in the job bidding process for many decades to come.

With manufacturing in Kunshan, SEYI has now added Ford from the United States, Toyota, Honda and Nissan from Japan, Kia from Korea, as well as European Tier 1 and Tier 2 auto suppliers from France andGermany, as customers. Kunshan, which is located in the southeastern part of Jiangsu Province adjacent to the municipality of Shanghai, is ideally situated to serve customers in China's northern, central and southern provinces, as well as those in the eastern part of the country.

In order to serve its growing list of automotive customers, the Kunshan facility has been expanded to two workshops; the Company has begun manufacturing higher tonnage presses; and the technical skills and capabilities at the factory have been upgraded. The management team has also been strengthened .

Going Beyond Press Manufacturing

“Metal Flow made the decision to open a new manufacturing facility in China to manufacture automotive components for the local Chinese market.  We were fortunate to have a customer who committed business to us, but their timing demands put us on a very tight timeline.  We made the decision to purchase our press from a Chinese supplier and after some research and recommendations, we selected SEYI as our supplier.  We have had a great experience.

SEYI has done much more than just manufacture a press.  They have provided advice on doing business in China, they have helped us to identify and negotiate with suppliers for other aspects of the project, and they are providing turnkey project management for the press foundation, and the installation and integration of our auxiliary and support equipment.

This project has had many challenges.  Regardless of the issue, SEYI has been there to support us.  They have helped us work through changing schedules, facility construction issues, and the general uncertainties of starting a new facility in China.  They have acted like an extension of our team in China.  On the press side, they have not only constructed a highly customized press on a very tight timeline but have lead the integration of several other pieces of equipment and controls.  They have kept the project moving forward thru timely communication and a high level of responsiveness to all of our needs.

We have had the support and commitment from the highest levels of the company to ensure excellent project management.  SEYI has delivered on that commitment.” –

SEYI America New Strategic Business Units Expand Product and Territory Focus

Not to be outdone by the recent launch of SEYI-Mexico, SEYI-America is growing its presence by adding three new business units that will strengthen both territory and product development in North and South America.
According to Albert Chen, Executive V.P. of SEYI America, 

“It all comes down to organization, removing the clutter.  It’s not possible to continue doing things the same way and expect to innovate our products and elevate customer experiences.  With the SBUs, each manager will direct strategy and deploy resources in a more controlled and focused manner.”

Internally, SEYI America is taking the next step in galvanizing global collaboration, especially with its Taiwan and China factories. 

"With one point of contact for each division," says Mr. Chen, "we will further improve consistent, transparent OEM support, no matter where our customers do business." 

Large Press Systems Division

Managed by Scott Braito, The Large Press and Systems Division focuses on the detailed design, engineering, and project management requirements commonly associated with large, multi-press projects.  As SEYI America’s chief mechanical engineer, Mr. Braito brings more than 15 years of experience in SEYI’s product line and engineering complex systems.  His strong working knowledge of controls, automation, and integration will play a key part in coordinating with a team of factory engineers, equipment partners, and tooling designers. 

“Companies are running with such lean staffing that equipment suppliers are being asked to provide more complex, complete integrated and turnkey solutions. The Large Press Systems Division will work closely with our customers and partners to ensure projects are designed, delivered, and installed on time and on budget."

Latin America Division 

Alberto Garcia, a press industry veteran of more than 10 years, will lead the development and growth of Central and South American markets while continuing his coordination with SEYI Mexico.  With refined press knowledge, business development acumen, and bilingual talent, he will build on existing SEYI successes within the region, expand distribution and service, and bridge resources from SEYI America, SEYI Mexico, and the Taiwan factory. 

Servo Press Division

With 15 years of technical sales and business development experience in electric motor and stamping industries, Randy Kish heads up the Servo Press Division.  His focus on product development and applications will drive the further integration of SEYI global resources towards customer support and service.  Randy will work closely with the Taiwan Forming Team and Servo R&D department, as well as with SEYI’s network of tooling designers and tryout centers.   

“In the case with servo, there’s no question that the market is still catching up with the technology. The Servo Press Division fills the gap in knowledge and adaptation.  We’re creating a unified channel of support, service, and continuous improvement.  It’s one way to help customers fully realize the advantages of this constantly evolving technology.”

SEYI America Adds New Members to its Service Department

Over the last year, The SEYI-America Service Department has gone through a major face lift.  It's nearly tripled its in-house service capabilities.  Joining the team at the SEYI America Service Center and Showroom, located in Tullahoma, Tennessee are Stephen Deaton,  Kevin Appel, John Oosting, Renee Abelardo de Hoyos, and Robert Hatfield.

"Qualified, seasoned service technicians are hard to come by," says David Hattabaugh, SEYI-America Service Manager.  "We've been fortunate.  Two of our new guys are transplants from up North; Illinois and Michigan. Both of them had previous experience with press repair companies.  Renee, who is actually now part of the SEYI Mexico office, has had years of machine repair and electrical experience.  And we rounded it out by grabbing young talent from a local technical school."

While the new staff has years of mechanical experience, much of the hiring criteria focused on electrical knowledge.  "With today's servo technology and advanced automation, troubleshooting and diagnosing electrical issues are a priority.  Our new guys came in with the knowledge and experience, and are familiar with PLC programming, logic, and electrical."
