Press Information & Overview
Link Motion Cold Forging Press, FMX Overview
AIDA developed the FMX Series of Cold Forging Presses in response to demand from industrial sectors - particularly the automotive industry. Cold forging forming processes enable the high-accuracy, high-efficiency forming of parts for a wide variety of uses with a wide variety of shapes. High-quality parts begin with high-accuracy forming. AIDA will continue to incorporate customer requirements into its forming technologies, and will continue to strive to contribute to their even greater success. The wide-ranging high functionality that is provided by the AIDA FMX Cold Forging Press enables high-efficiency operation and high-quality forming.

AIDA FMX Link Motion Cold Forging Press Features
- 2-point design increases resistance to off-center loading and improves accuracy
- Link motion is used to extend forming boundaries and improve product accuracy
- Hydraulic overload protection system protects dies
- Compact frame design
- Minimum total clearance reduces vibration and increases die life
- Independent micro-inching drive reduces setup time for die trials
- 8-surface slide guides extend working stroke and enhance safety
- Optimized operator panel
- Knock-out timing button reduces setup time and enhances safety
- Large side and front openings easily accommodate automation and improve workability and safety
8-Point Oil Film Slide Guide System
Easy Adjustment to Maintain Superior ParallelismExtra-long gib surfaces on the slide, always maintained within the guides provide superior off-center guiding vs. industry standard
Dwell Link Motion
Ideal for Blanking and Progressive Die ApplicationsUnique slide motion providing slowdown through the working portion of the stroke. Proprietary dwell link motion has fewer bearing points than standard link motion designs, resulting in lower maintenance and better accuracy.
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
