Press Information
Press Information & Overview
Single-Point, Link Motion, Cold Forging Press, K1-E Overview
K1-E Series Press - a high performance cold forging press, enables production of the high-quality parts demanded by today's industries. In order to obtain such high precision, AIDA has increased the rigidity of the frame to prevent slide inclination, and introduced an overload protector in case of unusual overload. The compactness of the press frame ensures easy installation and meets the necessary requirements of the working environment. All these new features have been developed to produce a stable machine for continual high-precision production of components over a long period of time.

6-Point Slide Guide System
Simple, Yet Effective Slide Guide System for Stamping PressesExtra-long gibs with extensions on the slide minimize "tipping" of the slide within the guides and provide superior off-center guiding vs. industry standard
AIDA Wet Clutch and Brake
High Single Cycle Rates, Low MainenanceHigh performance torque transmission system for mechanical press drives. Very little heat generation and component wear so performance does not deteriorate over time.
Flow Control Forming
Combining Conventional Stamping & Cold ForgingThe benefits of Flow Control Forming (FCF) include the ability to produce high precision components with high added value, at lower costs. Both progressive forming using coil stock and transfer forming using blanks are possible with FCF.
HOLP
Hydraulic Overload Protection SystemAIDA's press technology - the industry's fastest protection system. When overload occurs, oil evacuates 360 degrees around the ball seat with minimum oil flow resistance as compared to conventional systems
Knuckle Drive
A Press Drive Designed for Coining, Cold Forging, and Net-Shape Forming OperationsProvides nearly infinite force at the bottom of the press stroke. The only mechanical press drive that provides a dwell at the bottom of the stroke
