Bearing & Seal Assembly Press: Looking for an Integrated Closed-Loop Servo Control System that Provides the Force, Position and Data Collection?

Challenge

A machine builder of assembly presses for bearing and seal assembly applications had a tier-one automotive customer who wanted to eliminate hydraulics from their presses. In addition, they required actuators with precise force and position control, determining quality pass / fail results and data collection. These requirements ruled out using an electro-mechanical actuators due to reliability concerns from shock loads inherent in the pressing process.
