Metal Fabrication / Pressing: Upgrade Your Metal Forming Press with Kyntronics' Hybrid Linear Actuation System

Challenge

A manufacturer of metal components for the automotive and aerospace industries wanted to upgrade one of their metal forming presses with electric actuators to improve quality control. Existing presses in the facility were hydraulic-based and had poor process control. They requested that an HMI be included with operator interface software for the setup of different parts. The metal forming process involved shock loads, which ruled out the use of an electro-mechanical actuator.

“Working with Kyntronics was a great experience. This type of product is new to our company, and they were very helpful and patient with any questions we had. We decided to install the optional HMI unit with the actuator, making the setup of our tooling painless. The parts we are forming among the 6 tooling stations are very consistent, hit after hit. The precision is greater than any other forming method we have used. We are overall very pleased with the actuator’s design and performance.”
