How many shirts counted on your Auto?

[244]

Oldest running machine 2000 Gauntlet  12m, newest running machine 2013 Challenger 3D 1.8m

the most I have personally seen was a shop that had 8 presses, Gauntlet II and Formula mix. The lowest count was 43,000,000 and the highest was 48,000,000. Presses were old but running well @ 800 per hr average.

do you know what their formula for keeping them up and running?

clean air
clean electricity
avoiding spray tack?

lots of lube and clean,dry air as well as NO spray adhesive.

What I was told by Francisco at M&R's Preventative Maintenance course was that pretty much everything can be repaired except for an unevenly worn center shaft and/or carousel.  Just make sure those presses start level and lubed, stay level and lubed, keep your air dry and they will just keep going for practically forever with the occasional repair here and there...some more heroic than others...like snaking all new air lines through the arms...or replacing a lift cylinder on a Gauntlet Z 12/14.
