Lexington's rubber molding presses are outfitted with proprietary programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that control and monitor the operation of each press and are integrated into plant-wide networks.

The PLCs improve the quality of our components and dramatically reduce the chances of manufacturing defective parts. Our PLCs provide the following benefits:

  • Press parameters are strictly controlled
  • Unwanted operator intervention is prevented
  • Variations between operators are limited
  • Repeatability and consistency are the norm
  • The process can be continuously monitored at the press and at a central location
  • Automatic alarms are sent when the process deviates from pre-set parameters
  • Automatic press shutdowns occur under specific conditions
