Today, we all know that servo presses are the best in terms of stroke rate and output. But what can be done when the production time is plenty to cover the demand of parts and at the same time the cost of materials and energy make any previous calculation obsolete?
A slide curve adapted to current requirements significantly reduces variable costs. Instead of aiming for a high stroke rate, it is currently worthwhile to optimize the re-set-up in terms of reduced energy costs and fewer rejects.
Finally there is a ray of hope - after day in, day out for months only one topic dominated our thinking. The pandemic not only dominates our private lives, we have also been fooled by the prevailing uncertainty in our business environment. At the latest now, with yesterday's news and the prospect of a vaccine, it is time to look ahead, define goals and prepare the stamping plants & forming machines for the post-COVID era.
The stroke rate of progressive and transfer presses can be significantly increased by the optimal adjustment of the process parameters. The success of such a process optimization is usually expressed by the increase in stroke rate.
But how much additional output must be achieved so that the costs of this effort can be economically justified?
Whether you want to prepare yourself for the challenges that industry 4.0 / IoT or e.g. as a reaction to electromobility brings, there are many reasons why you want to recruit experts for your company. Providing know-how and expertise in new business fields or niche areas is always a challenge.
We also encounter these challenges in our everyday lives, even beyond the above-mentioned trendy and visionary directions.
One would think that the correct application of clearance curves in the transfer tool design is not only an absolute must, but a matter of course.
A technically error-free and clear flow chart, whether classical with clearance curves or carried out based on a virtual flow simulation, enables the press to be operated at maximum output.
Increased productivity and efficiency in the press shop are largely dependent on the knowledge & experience of the setter personnel.
The experience of setting up perfect conditions on your forming equipement can be ordered as a service enabling you for:
- higher stroke rates
- optimum tool durability
- higher profit
