Heavy-duty servopress up to 355kN
flexiPRESS max
Flexible in design and maximum in force: when the standard is not enough, a press adapted to your needs is just the thing!
Thanks to its robust planetary roller technology, the servo-electric flexiPRESS MAX is ideal for heavy-duty applications with feed forces of up to 355kN.
It clearly outperforms hydraulic presses thanks to its high energy efficiency and flexibility as well as low maintenance costs.
Hardware and software optimized for the requirements as well as many inclusive services known from the ecoPRESS guarantee an excellent price-performance ratio. This is because expensive servo presses are often used even though their functions, evaluation and visualization options are not fully utilized. Seamless integration into a higher-level control system is also often a challenge, or the maximum force limits the possible applications. flexiPRESS MAX offers a great deal of flexibility in precisely such cases.
Taking function, force and dynamics into account, Parkem supplies the press control, the press actuator (optionally with force sensor) and the servo drive package as components. With the aim of maximizing added value, integration into the mechanical structure is carried out by the customer himself to achieve a fully-fledged and safe servo press.
Maximum flexibility with the flexiPRESS MAX
- Each flexiPRESS MAX is individually designed to meet the requirements and can do exactly what is needed in terms of force, speed, stroke, robustness and function
- This flexible mechanical design leads to targeted cost savings
- Press actuators with robust planetary roller technology or optionally with ball screw drive are used
- These are designed for feed forces from 20 to 355kN and for heavy-duty cycles, which allows a wide range of applications
- The following components are supplied as a kit for the joining/servo press module:
> High-force press actuator
> Force sensor with amplifier and pre-assembled cable
> Drive package and cable set suitable for the ecoPRESS control unit - The control unit is taken over from the tried-and-tested ecoPRESS with the same functions and inclusive services
- The all-inclusive package takes you to flexiPRESS MAX in six steps:
Many included services at a fixed price (joint project definition, parameterization, preparation by Parkem, on-site commissioning) guarantee investment security, cost control and high competitiveness - All parameters such as position, force, speed, etc. can be changed by the user at any time, even after commissioning
- No license costs
- Reduced price from the second identical flexiPRESS MAX
- Functions and features can be expanded on request
- Software developed in Switzerland
Better than hydraulics and very robust!
flexiPRESS MAX is predestined for special press applications in which very high forces of up to 355kN or demanding cycles such as fast punching are required. Planetary roller technology enables short-stroke applications, which is problematic with ball screws due to the resulting lack of lubrication. The striking technical advantages of the electric flexiPRESS MAX over hydraulic presses lead to a significant increase in productivity, flexibility and production quality:
- high energy efficiency
- precise controllability of movements
- flexible positioning eliminates the need for mechanical
- format changeovers
- no cooling of hydraulic units
- low maintenance requirements (time, material, costs)
- high work safety, as quiet, leakage-free, integrated safety functions
- You can also find all the advantages here
Further features:
- High positioning accuracy and precisely definable pressing force
- Fully electric, compact, quiet and low-maintenance
- Very energy-efficient - in line with our go green initiative
- High speed allows up to 60-80 cycles per minute
- No force overshoot thanks to fast task in 500µs cycles
- Twelve press functions based on the three basic functions
> Pressing on force with position monitoring
> Pressing to position with force monitoring
> Pressing with dynamic force control - Envelope curves (incl. teaching of position/force) and saving of recipe tables
- Simple and clear operation via 7” touch HMI or...
- ...direct integration with Profinet/EtherCAT in higher-level control system
- Direct evaluation of the pressing process (OK/NOK) as well as further information for quality assurance such as
> maximum recorded force
> effective force at the target position
> effective position on the target force
> with option “HME” also with evaluation of the envelope curve - Cyclical data transfer with higher-level controller or display on the HMI for commands (target force, target position, speeds...) and status (OK, NOK, current force, current position...)
- Acyclical process data exchange for access to all process variables (accelerations, limit values...)
- Multiturn encoder guarantees precise positioning and eliminates the need for homing
- STO (Safe Torque Off)
