VARIOUS
MODES OF PRESSING CONTROL IN ESTIC SERVO PRESS
Estic mainly manufactures three products Handheld
nutrunner , Fixture nutrunner & Servo Presses . Today we talk about the Estic
Servo Press & its main control methods . Servo Presses are mainly use for
Press-in like Bearing , Valve guide , Valve seat , Plug , Bush , Pin etc. and
also for crimping , straightening ,
fitting , punching & positioning . Some people uses heavy pneumatic
cynliders for pressing applications , but in them they can’t control the
position , motion , speed , load applied etc. So that cylinders may damage the
application & they have high consumption of air & have high maintenance
cost . Some of the companies also make Presses but they don’t have enough
features for controlling the various specs of application . Pressing
application are always critical . They need high accuracy . So estic Servo
press are only made of that types of critical applications .

Servo means they have the servo
system inside it , they can control very minor specs & gives a high
accurate pressing . They have very low maintenance cost . Somewhere these servo
presses are running from last 10 years without any maintenance . They are compact
in size , highly durable , available upto 100KN , Repeatibility(mm) ±0.01% etc. They have the SPU controller with it from whom you
can take the data , program the servo press , multi spindle pressing is also
possible , multi stage pressing is also possible , complete pokayoke also
possible .
SOME FEATURES
Environmental
consideration
Less
consumtion of energy & low noise is possible with superior quality of servo
motor . Consumes 10-20% less energy in comparison with air or oil powered
presses
Improvement
of production
Unique
modes like Controlling load, position, speed, and time with high accuracy
lowers the production cycle time . Feeding back real time operation conditions
prevents damaging work object.
Safety
Design
In
power failures they have the unique Internal brake holds ram feature to prevent
free fall
Easy
setup
Installing
setup procedure is very easy . System configuration is also simple consisting
of tool, controller, cable. User friendly parameter input enables short setup
times. (High accuracy load cell and resolver are used)
Traceability
A large range of data
is collected allowing for full traceability.
CONTROLLING METHODS
·
LOAD CONTROL
POSITION MONITOR
In this method Pressing
operation doesn’t stop until target load not achieved . The operation stopped
at the time when load target load is detected , then a comparison made between “upper
& lower” load limit & “upper & lower” limit position & “lower
limit” time also . If the “Upper Position” is detected before the target load
is detected, the shaft stops at that point and the unit displays “Position high
NG”. It also stops if the pressing time exceeds the “Upper Limit Time”, and
then displays “Time high NG”.
·
POSITION
CONTROL LOAD MONITOR
In this method Pressing operation doesn’t stop
until target Position not achieved . The operation stopped at the time when
target position is detected , then a comparison made between “upper &
lower” position limit & “upper & lower” load limit & “lower limit”
time also . ”. If the “Upper Limit load Value” is detected before the target
position is detected, the shaft stops and the result are tagged as “Load high
NG”. It also stops if the pressing time exceeds the “Upper Limit Time”, and
then the result is tagged as “Time high NG”.
·
INCREMENT
CONTROL
In this method Pressing operation doesn’t stop
until target Position not achieved . The operation stopped at the time when
target position is detected , then a comparison made between “upper &
lower” position limit & “upper & lower” load limit & “lower limit”
time also . ”. If the “Upper Limit load Value” is detected before the target
position is detected, the shaft stops and the result are tagged as “Load high
NG”. It also stops if the pressing time exceeds the “Upper Limit Time”, and
then the result is tagged as “Time high NG”.
·
LOAD &
INCREMENT CONTROL
The pressing will be done until it goes beyond
two set target values, Target Load (Load control) and Target Position
(Increment control). At the time of target position being detected, load,
position, and time will be judged. In case of “Upper Position” being detected
before the detection of target position, it stops and is judged as “Position
High NG”. In case of “Upper Load” being detected before the detection of target
position, it stops and is judged as “Load high NG”. Also, If it goes beyond
“P-ST MAX TIME”, it stops and is judged as “Time High NG”. In case of going
beyond Snug Position Limit before Snug load is detected, it stops and is judged
“Position Low NG”.
In terms of Position data of pressing result, if
it comes to an end by detecting more load than Snug load, the stroke from the
Snug point is displayed and output.
