A live, interactive environment that lets engineers, operators, and procurement teams run the proprietary I-PRESS control platform from any browser, before the first sales conversation.
Sutherland Presses has released a browser-based simulator of its proprietary I-PRESS control platform, available at https://ui-construct.com/I-PRESS/PanelViewPlus.html The simulator replicates the full operator interface of the production I-PRESS system, allowing engineers, plant managers, procurement teams, and operators to evaluate the platform hands-on without a download, sales call, or demo scheduling.
The I-PRESS Simulator is a live, browser-based environment that runs the full I-PRESS operator interface exactly as deployed on Sutherland mechanical, servo hydraulic, and forge presses in the field. Users can adjust tonnage, speed, dwell, and position parameters in real time, monitor diagnostics and predictive alerts, and navigate the same menu hierarchy and screen flow shipping on every Sutherland press.
Most press manufacturers in the industry rely on off-the-shelf industrial controls from Allen Bradley, Siemens, or OMRON. These platforms are generic industrial controls adapted to press applications, engineered for a wide range of equipment and optimized for none.
I-PRESS is a proprietary control platform, engineered from the ground up by Sutherland Presses for Sutherland presses. Every menu, every diagnostic, every operator workflow was designed specifically for the demands of high-tonnage precision forming. Every Sutherland press ships with it as standard.
The simulator gives buyers of capital equipment the opportunity to evaluate that difference firsthand. Plant managers comparing press manufacturers, engineers specifying controls for new lines, procurement teams conducting vendor research, and operators assessing interface usability can all access the platform without commercial friction.
• Full I-PRESS operator interface identical to production deployments
• Real-time tonnage, speed, dwell, and position parameter adjustment
• Diagnostics, predictive monitoring, and fault display
• Menu hierarchy and screen flow matching the production platform exactly
• Multi-point job memory with up to seven programmable changes per stroke
• 10-inch HD color touchscreen UI representation
• Ethernet IP and Industry 4.0 integration preview
• Hot forging presses
• Servo hydraulic press lines
• Straight-side mechanical stamping
• Composite molding
• Coining and die-spotting
• Four-post hydraulic presses
• Vertical hot heading for aerospace bolt manufacturing
• Retrofit packages for legacy equipment
A press control platform is the intelligence of the machine. The operator interface determines training time, cycle efficiency, fault response, and long-term production reliability. I-PRESS was built specifically for press operation.
• Menu hierarchy organized by how press operators think, not how general industrial operators think
• Diagnostics that flag press-specific failure modes: ram parallelism deviation, hydraulic drift, dwell inconsistency
• Parameter workflows tuned to the physics of forming, not conveyor or packaging equipment
• Interface patterns that reduce training time and operator error
• In-house support from the engineers who built the platform
From Bowe O'Ryan, Director of Business Development at Sutherland Presses:
"In my experience with the I-Press, the biggest difference in the field and in my own development has been the interface's user-friendliness. I've been able to jump in and navigate with a minimal learning curve during installs, and I've seen operators get comfortable in significantly less time than our scheduled training days."
"Being able to bring everyone, from new hires to seasoned press operators, up to speed so quickly is a huge gamechanger. It shortens ramp-up time, reduces training costs, and builds confidence on the floor. The intuitive layout, clear sections, and the ability to monitor as little or as much as the application requires make adoption priceless."
This feedback reflects what Sutherland's field team consistently hears during commissioning, training, and long-term service engagements across mechanical, servo hydraulic, and forge press installations.
• Plant managers evaluating press upgrades or capacity expansion
• Manufacturing engineers specifying controls for new press lines
• Procurement teams comparing press manufacturers during shortlist evaluation
• Operators and trainers assessing interface usability before purchase
• Capital equipment buyers conducting vendor research in advance of sales conversations
• Maintenance and controls engineers scoping retrofit projects on legacy equipment
Sutherland Presses is in its 80th year of precision press engineering. Founded in 1946, Sutherland designs and manufactures mechanical, servo hydraulic, and forge presses from 60 to 6,000 tons for industries including aerospace, automotive, appliance, medical, defense, and industrial manufacturing. Every Sutherland press ships with the proprietary I-PRESS control platform as standard. The company is headquartered in Ventura, California, with press preparation, service, and R&D operations supporting customers across North America, Europe, and Asia.
