Differences Between Servo Press and Straight-Side Mechanical Press

Servo Press:

  • Drive System: Uses a servo motor to control the ram movement, providing programmable motion profiles.
  • Precision and Control: Offers high precision and flexibility with adjustable speed, position, and force throughout the stroke.
  • Efficiency: Energy-efficient due to its ability to vary power usage based on the task.
  • Applications: Ideal for complex forming processes requiring precise control, such as fine-blanking and progressive die stamping.

Straight-Side Mechanical Press:

  • Drive System: Uses a flywheel and mechanical components to deliver power in a fixed motion profile.
  • Stability and Rigidity: Features a robust, closed-frame design for high stability and minimal deflection, ensuring consistent accuracy.
  • Speed: Generally faster for high-volume production runs.
  • Applications: Suitable for heavy-duty operations and large-scale production requiring high tonnage and speed.

Summary

  • Servo Presses offer programmable precision and efficiency, ideal for complex, high-precision tasks.
  • Straight-Side Mechanical Presses provide stable, high-speed performance for heavy-duty, high-volume production.
