UNISORB® Solutions for the Metal-Forming Industry
UNISORB® Installation Technologies is the world leader in equipment installationsystems and engineering, including those for the metal-forming industry. UNISORB® has the only Engineering Department devoted exclusively to the design andimplementation of complete machine installation systems. From the properly designedfoundation and isolation system to the installation system for the machine, UNISORB® will provide the most comprehensive package available.
Why Metal-Forming Machinery Needs UNISORB® Products
All too often in the metal-forming industry, presses are just set into place with little to no consideration for proper installation. When this vital aspect of press management is ignored, a variety of predictable problems occur, including excessive shock and vibration, internal press misalignment, and premature die wear, as well as press "walking" and other assorted difficulties.
At UNISORB® we understand that these problems often lead to expensive downtime and maintenance. To prevent this from occurring at your business, we offer a variety of high-quality mounting, installation, and press management products – seven, to be exact – designed to help you avoid the difficulties associated with improperly installed metal-forming machinery.
Installation Solutions
To install metal-forming machinery, working knowledge of machinery alignment, shock, and vibration control is required. An improperly installed metal-forming machines cause issues long-term and deplete profits.
To ensure you get the most from your machine, choose a professional installation by our Engineering Department. They will provide you with expert engineering designs and product selection so that your machine is as efficient and effective as possible.
If you experience shock or vibration with a current working machine in your plant, please contact UNISORB®. Our Engineering Department offers guidance in many areas; call us today!

Why Choose Red-Line® Anchor Pads?
Reduced vibration contributes to more efficient operation and longer life of costly machinery. Job-engineered Red- Line® Anchor Pads substantially reduce vibration transmission and keep light- and medium-duty machines from "creeping" or "walking" without the use of anchor bolts and will materially reduce transmitted noise. Installations are fast, easy, and inexpensive.
