<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3113700, member: 66&quot;]What about a average speed toggle press?&nbsp; They only run 60 to 100 coins per minute.&nbsp; That&#039;s NOT high speed but all it takes is a little inattention that lets the feed hopper run out, or a planchet to stick momentarily in the feed tube and not get fed in and bang you have a die clash. (High speed would be the modern Schular horizontal striking presses, 750 coins per minute)</p><p><br /></p><p>Even with the old screw presses you get into a rhythm with the striking&nbsp; (swing pull back, swing pull back etc) and you expect the person inserting the planchet to keep up the same rhythm.&nbsp; He misses getting the planchet in and shouts &quot;STOP&quot; it&#039;s typically too late to stop that swing, and BANG.&nbsp; And if you have automatic feed, the guys doing the swinging can&#039;t see that the planchet didn&#039;t get placed.&nbsp; And even if they could breaking that rhythm in time to stop is unlikely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
