What is a servo press?
Kistler Assembly servo press is a proven custom press application solution with many applications in the automotive, medical, electronics, etc. with force, torque & displacement built-in monitoring & data collection – interfaces with multiple software -.
Application Examples
Examples of servo presses include electromechanical joining systems to produce joints of various types using processes such as press-fitting, caulking, riveting, embossing, clinching, and so on. They are used in automatic production plants as well as manually controlled workstations.
These systems are used frequently throughout the automotive industry, for applications such as New Energy Vehicles (NEV), engine and transmission assembly, steering systems, chassis, brakes, injection pumps and airbags, and also for various electric motors such as those for windshield wipers. Additional key application areas include the medical devices sector, the electronics, and domestic appliances industries, and power tools.
A joining system such as a servo press typically comprises a joining module (also known as a “joining spindle”), a servo amplifier, and a force-displacement evaluation unit. Process monitoring systems are used for quality assurance. On the basis of data from force and displacement sensors, they evaluate and document the force-displacement profiles (XY curves) for joining and press-fit processes.
As well as monitoring the process, it is also possible to control it in real-time. Various standard functions are available for these purposes, including force cutoff and control, gradient and inflection point detection, as well as a signal or position-based joining.
Why the Kistler servo press for assembly automation applications?
Kistler Servo Presses are rated 100% of rated force. For example a 100 kN model – you can run it at 100 kN. There is no derating.
