DSF-C1-A Servo Press IntroductionAjax Metal Forming Solutions

"We needed more capacity and our research told us that servoforming is the direction stamping is taking so we wanted to get ahead of the curve."
View User TestimonialNewman Technologies

"We wanted a system that could not only produce the part but support our just-in-time initiatives by helping us to further reduce inventory, lead times and the cost and maintenance associated with progressive dies."
View User TestimonialQualtek Manufacturing

"Anything that runs in a mechanical press will definitely run in a servo press, but the servo is a more sophisticated press."
View User TestimonialScandic Spring

"This job really illustrates the benefit of slowing down the press at the bottom dead center [BDC] while still applying full tonnage."
View User TestimonialWard Manufacturing

"It allows us to form more complicated geometries and produce draws in exotic materials at higher speeds while maintaining dimensional integrity - something that, prior to this technology - was, at best, difficult."

More About Educational PartnersApplications Studies & Die Trials

Die trials provided by AIDA prove, in real-time with your own dies, how AIDA servo press technology can have multiple benefits to your stamping operations, including increased production rates, higher quality parts, reduced scrap, and reduced maintenance.
Applications Studies & Die TrialsServoFormer Application Training

AIDA's ServoFormer Application Training (SAT) Program is designed to help you fully realize the benefits servo presses can bring to your stamping operation. AIDA-America - located in Dayton, OH, USA - provides in-house and on-site training for customers and is an active and on-call partner through application studies, die trials and post-purchase operator training.
Servo Press Application TrainingServo Press Optimization

AIDA understands that in order to maximize the benefits that servo press technology can bring the operations must be optimized. AIDA provides on-the-floor stroke profile optimization for maximum productivity.
Servo Press OptimizationStamping Press Technology

For over 100 years AIDA has been developing and manufacturing specialized metalforming products like metal stamping presses and related automation equipment, such as transfers, robots, and feeders. AIDA's exclusive stamping press technology is used throughout our wide range of presses, from 30 through 4,000 tons capacity.
Stamping Press TechnologyServo Press Technology

AIDA introduced the world's first direct drive servo stamping presses more than a decade ago. Since that time, AIDA has continued to maintain the position of technology leader in developing servoforming presses. AIDA DSF Series (Direct Drive Servo Former) servo presses represent the pinnacle of advanced engineering and manufacturing in the metalforming and stamping press industries.
