Hi
I’m looking for a linear servo motor for metal forming applications. We already were using a forming machine driven by a high performance (High speed, High precision) linear servo motor from MOOG (Maximum force: 5KN) and it was used for the main slide in the application. The engine was controlled by a ULTRA5000 single-axis servo drive.
An ejection system actuated by pneumatic cylinders and a feed drive (SMAC servo motor) actuated by another linear servo motor were connected to the Ultra5000 through digital and analog I/O capability. Therefore, the machine consists of a main slide, ejection system and a feed drive. For the previous application, the machine worked with a production rate of 200 strokes per minute for a displacement of 10 mm while applying 5 KN force to the main slide.
The engine jammed and stopped to work a month ago. For the new applications, we want to upgrade the machine to higher force capacity (from 50 KN up to 150 KN) while minimizing the costs by reducing the change of the current devices when we have limited money resource for doing this! The higher force and speed are important factors in the new applications.
I’m asking if anyone has any recommendation for the new system regarding the linear motor.
