PMA and MetalForming Magazine Host Series of Programs Highlighting Servo Press Technology



CLEVELAND, OH—The Precision Metalforming Association’s (PMA) flagship publication, MetalForming magazine, announces a series of technical programs featuring the latest developments in servo-press technology.  The Servo Press Technology Experience includes three free webinars and one live event at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare in Rosemont, IL.



The inaugural Servo Press Technology Experience held in August 2012 attracted more than 30 executives, engineers and metalforming professionals.  “I found the basic information on how servo-press technology works and the benefits it provides to be most useful.  The speakers did a great job explaining the pros and cons of the technology, which made the content very informative,” says Bridget Darby, Hyson Products.
