E.R. St. Denis, a division of Valiant Machine & Tool, located in Oldcastle, ON, required a solution for two custom bending machines for Ford Motor Company’s Wayne, Michigan facility. The machines were being used to bend and finish edges of doors for the new 2005 Focus and required the flexibility to adjust between side and hatch doors. In this case, two Joyce brand bevel ball jacks (BB300-8.25-UP-T3 -Shaft pos2) were integrated into each of the two custom machines with a complete belt driven powertrain system. The key benefits of using a bevel ball screw jack system are that it provides accurate and fast, repeatable positioning. It also requires very little maintenance, other than monthly lubrication. In addition, Ford saves on up-front costs since the machine can be quickly adapted to fit both sizes of Focus doors thereby eliminating the need for 2 separate machines.
