Metal Forming and Laminating Assembly Presses: Maintenance Problems and Environmental Issues Eliminated

Challenge

A generator manufacturer wanted to replace a HPU and hydraulic cylinder actuators with electric actuators. They were experiencing maintenance problems with leaks and environmental issues on existing metal forming press and laminating assembly press machines. They were unable to use electro-mechanical actuators due to shock loads inherent in the pressing process.

Kyntronics Solution

  • A “Total Solution” actuation system with the actuator, drives, control, cables and software.
  • 3 servo drives integrated onto a single control back panel that was installed in the customer’s control cabinet.
  • (2) metal forming press / laminating press actuators and (1) shuttle positioning actuator with position and force feedback that replaced all hydraulics on the machine.

Customer Benefits

  • Implemented actuators that were environmentally friendly and sustainable.
  • Improved quality of parts using precise position control.
  • Reduced operating costs by eliminating hydraulic fluid disposal and replenishment, energy savings and lower maintenance.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 40”
Speed: 1.1 in/sec
Force: 1,500 – 50,000 lbf.
