Servo-hydraulic press

It is quicker, twice as energy efficient and requires significantly less maintenance than a conventional hydraulic press. AP&T’s new servohydraulic press is a "world first", and it creates entirely new conditions for increased productivity within both cold forming and hot forming. A world first with premium performance The technology unites the best of two worlds by combining the consistently high press force offered by hydraulic presses with the energy efficiency and excellent speed control possibilities offered by servo mechanical presses. The process can be controlled with a great deal of precision and a high degree of parallelism between the press table and slide. The press force is consistently high during the entire press cycle, and it can be distributed with great precision, even over small surfaces. The cushion can be pre-accelerated when forming sensitive materials. The high degree of parallelism also promotes reduced tooling wear In terms of performance, the new press is extremely effective. Acceleration force and deceleration force are 250% higher than that of a conventional hydraulic press, which enables substantially increased production capacity. Process and machine data are controlled via future-proofed Internet-based solutions (IoT). Outstanding energy efficiency Thanks to a number of innovative technical solutions, the new press only consumes half as much energy as a conventional hydraulic press. Energy can be stored internally in the machine, which enables higher output with lower installed effect. The need for cooling is greatly reduced and when the press is idle, it does not consume any energy at all.
