The Komatsu Warranty

When a press is designed as a system, it should be expected to perform as a system without routine tear downs for wear items (the conventional "weak link" in our competitors' presses). That's why every Komatsu OBW press comes with a One Year Unconditional Warranty on anything that rolls, slides or moves - parts and labor. Unlike other manufacturers, there is no hourly limit - your press is guaranteed to perform 3 shifts a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With Komatsu systems engineering it's possible to extract the full potential from your press, and the full revenue potential from every job.
