Comparing Different Types of Metal Stamping Presses
A "servo press" for metal stamping and forming is a highly precise and programmable press that utilizes a servo motor to control the movement of the press slide, allowing for intricate control over the forming process, particularly beneficial for complex shapes and high-strength materials, offering superior accuracy and flexibility compared to traditional mechanical presses; it essentially replaces the traditional flywheel and clutch system with a directly controlled servo motor, enabling precise speed and position adjustments throughout the stroke. Key Components of a Stamping Press The critical components of a metal stamping press include: - Frame: The robust structure that supports the press and withstands the stamping forces. - Bolster Plate: A flat surface where the die is mounted, ensuring proper alignment during operation. - Ram (Slide): The movable part that delivers force to the die, precisely guided within the ...
