This auction features a comprehensive offering of heavy-duty stamping presses, integrated servo feed lines, robotic welding cells, CNC wire and tube forming systems, tooling, full metrology infrastructure, and plant support assets — representing over $50 million in original equipment cost. Lots will be sold to the highest bidder. Inspection strongly encouraged. Full catalogue and live bidding link uploading soon.

Stamping Equipment & Technical Specs

02 — FEATURED LOTS — STAMPING PRESS LINEUP & FEED LINES

  • Minster Press (1,200 Ton): Coil-fed line, integrated servo feed | Featured Lot
  • AIDA Press (700 Ton): Dallas Industries feedline (uncoiler · straightener · servo feed) | Featured Lot
  • Minster Press (600 Ton): Integrated coil feed line | Catalogue Pending
  • Minster Press (400 Ton): Integrated coil feed line | Catalogue Pending
  • Minster Press (300 Ton): Integrated coil feed line | Catalogue Pending
  • Formtek SMXIV24 Roll Feed Systems: Servo roll feeds, 24" max strip width capacity (multiple units) | Catalogue Pending
  • Servo Roll Feeders & Feedlines: Multiple programmable servo units staged across press cells | Catalogue Pending

Press Line Configuration & Feed AutomationThe press floor is anchored by a 1,200-ton Minster and a 700-ton AIDA as the flagship lots, supported by Minster heavy-duty production presses at 600, 400, and 300 tons. Each line is configured with a matched coil-feed system and servo feeder, allowing the facility to run progressive die work across a broad part envelope — from heavy-walled extrusions to small-form precision stampings.

  • Dallas Industries feedline (AIDA 700-ton): A complete coil-handling solution paired with the AIDA press, including an uncoiler/reel, precision straightener, and servo roll feed. Dallas Industries lines are recognized in North American stamping for tightly controlled strip tension and pilot-release feed accuracy — well suited to the tightly-toleranced automotive components produced at the facility.
  • Formtek SMXIV24 servo roll feed systems: The SMX series is Formtek's servo roll-feed platform, with the "24" denoting the 24-inch maximum strip width rating. These units provide programmable feed length, multi-axis servo control, and integrated handshaking with press controls — enabling rapid changeover between progressive die jobs and high-cycle production runs.
  • Auxiliary servo feeders & feedlines: Multiple additional servo roll feeders and supporting feed lines are staged across the press cells, providing redundant capacity, line flexibility, and the ability to convert presses between coil and blank-fed work with minimal downtime.
