Sheet Metal Forming Press: New Line Eliminated Hydraulics to Improve Part Quality and Reduce Operating Costs

Challenge

An HVAC appliance manufacturer was planning a new sheet metal forming press line and wanted to eliminate hydraulics to improve part quality and reduce operating costs. They had leak issues with hydraulic cylinder actuators on an existing line, causing, excessive maintenance, and wanted to reduce energy consumption on the new line. They required high-force electric linear actuators to perform the bending operations in their metal forming press, and linear actuators for clamping and hole punching stations.

Kyntronics Solution

  • Kyntronics electric linear servo press actuators with position and force feedback using closed-loop servo control.
  • Actuators used Rockwell Automation motors and drives, and Kyntronics AOI.

Customer Benefit

  • Reduced operating costs using electric actuators – eliminating hydraulic fluid disposal and replenishment, energy savings, and lower maintenance.
  • Improved part quality and reduced scrap.
  • Environmentally friendly, sustainable solution.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 8”
Speed: 1 – 2 in/sec
Force: 12,000 – 46,000 lbf.
