Low-Force (1,000 lbf) Hybrid Punch Press Actuation for Machine Builder

An automation integrator was tasked with delivering a compact, energy-efficient actuation system for a customer’s punch and crimp press application. The system required precise, repeatable motion control and sufficient force to perform press operations—without the size, complexity, reliability risk, or cost associated with traditional hydraulic systems or roller-screw electric actuators.

In addition, the end user wanted a solution that was simple to integrate, low maintenance, and optimized for low-force requirements, while still delivering consistent performance and reliability.

“Our team had an excellent experience working with Kyntronics. They supplied detailed CAD models and technical documents quickly and accurately, which helped us move our project forward with confidence. Mark McCloskey and Jonathan Baldwin were also incredibly responsive, answering many technical questions along the way. Their support and expertise made a noticeable difference in our workflow, and we look forward to collaborating with them again.” – President
