Metal Fabrication / Pressing: Achieve Precision, Shock Resistance, and Eco-Friendly Solutions for Your Metal Forming and Pressing Operations

Challenge

An Aerospace special machine OEM was developing a new metal forming machine for an airframe customer. The machine operations involved metal rolling, flaring and pressing. They required electric actuators that could handle metal fabrication applications and didn’t want to use hydraulic cylinders. They also ruled out using electro-mechanical actuators because they couldn’t handle the shock loading from this application.

Kyntronics Solution

  • “Total Solution” electric linear actuators including drive, control and software, factory tuned.
  • Three actuator configurations that were specific to each operation.
  • Integrated closed-loop position and force control.
  • Control backplate for installation into the machine builder control cabinet with cables and three mounted drives.
  • Standard software package.

Customer Benefits

  • Environmentally friendly solution.
  • Ability to handle shock loads.
  • Improved quality checks with force and position control.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 2” – 14″
Speed: 1 – 18 in/sec
Force: 1,000 lbf. – 25,000 lbf.
