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 electro-mechanical actuators due to reliability concerns from shock loads inherent in the pressing process.

Kyntronics Solution

  • All-electric linear assembly press servo actuators.
  • Integrated closed-loop servo control of force and position with data collection.
  • Electric actuators with low maintenance

Customer Benefits

  • The machine builder met the customer’s requirement to eliminate hydraulics, resulting in reduced operating costs by eliminating hydraulic fluid disposal and replenishment, energy savings, and lower maintenance.
  • Improved process quality – using position and force control for their seal press, bearing press, and assembly press machines.
  • Production cycle quality checks and data capture.
