2-AXIS PRESS DEMO WITH KYNTRONICS ACTUATORS & ROCKWELL SERVO INTEGRATION

In this demonstration, Kyntronics highlights a two-axis press system powered by Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (SHA) integrated with Rockwell Automation servo technology, including Servo Motors, Drives, PLCs, and Press Software. The demonstration is designed to showcase the advantages of SHA in real-world manufacturing environments.

KEY FEATURES and ADVANTAGES:

  • Maintains ±0.001″ positional accuracy with two synchronized actuators
  • Compensates for offset loads
  • Replaces traditional hydraulics for cleaner, quieter operation
  • Energy-efficient operation

Unlike electro-mechanical actuators, SHA systems provide servo-grade precision with the durability and simplicity of hydraulics—without the mess or maintenance.

HIGH-FORCE, SHOCK-LOAD RESILIENT ACTUATION SOLUTION – TRAILER FRAME TUBE BENDER SUCCESS STORY

HIGH-FORCE, SHOCK-LOAD RESILIENT ACTUATION SOLUTION – TRAILER FRAME TUBE BENDER SUCCESS STORY

When Sunshine Automation needed a clean, hydraulic-free solution for a custom trailer frame tube bending machine, they turned to Kyntronics. Traditional hydraulic systems were too messy and maintenance-intensive, while roller screw-type EMAs could not handle the shock loads and massive force output the job required.

Using Kyntronics’ Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Actuators, the final machine now delivers the following key features and benefits.

KEY FEATURES and ADVANTAGES:

  • Up to 1 million lbs. of synchronized bending force
  • Precision force and position control for repeatable outcomes
  • Clean, energy-efficient performance with minimal maintenance
  • A quiet and reliable system resilient under dynamic load conditions
  • Uses Rockwell Automation servo motors and Kinetix drives

Ideal for: custom machine builds, high-force metal forming applications and replacing hydraulic systems in automation.
