Servo Powder Forming Press: What to Do when Requirements Dictate Removal of All Hydraulics and Still Require High Concentrated Force

Challenge

An OEM of hydraulic servo powder forming presses had a customer requirement to remove all hydraulics from their machines and improve force and position control while increasing reliability. This application required high-force actuators for compressing the powdered metal, which eliminated electro-mechanical actuators from consideration due to the failure risk associated with the highly concentrated forces prevalent with their applications.

Kyntronics Solution

  • A “Total Solution” electric linear actuation system including the actuator, drives, control, cables, and software.
  • Programmable speeds, forces, positions, and acceleration/deceleration.
  • Double-acting cylinder design to locate the position sensor away from the abrasive and corrosive powders often used with their equipment.

Customer Benefits

  • Improved quality of parts using position and force control.
  • 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.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 8”
Speed: 1.7 in/sec
Force: 16,000 lbf.
