High Speed Stamping Press Models from AIDA
Technical Resources
Bottom Dead Center (BDC) Compensation
Stabilizing Punch Penetration Over TimeSpecially designed suspension points allow for in process BDC adjustment to maintain the desired setting and can be done automatically as often as every 100 press strokes
Combined Bearings
Roller and Oil Film Bearings Housed in a Single UnitControls BDC variations casued by speed change. In high speed presses the bottom dead center position of the slide will change as the press speed goes up or down
Dynamic Balancing
Stabilizes Press Structure by Balancing Inertia Forces in High Speed OperationsInertia forces generated by the slide and upper die can cause the press to become unstable. Balancing of these forces is accomplished by installing a large weight (or weights) that reciprocate exactly opposite the slide and upper die.
Thermal Control
Circulating Temperature Controlled Oil to Every Moving Part of the PressTo control thermal expansion and reduce its effect on your final parts, AIDA stamping presses employ a system that circulates temperature controlled oil (via an external cooling system if necessary) to every moving part in the press and feed.
