Floor-standing cabinets allow easy access with flexible placement options available, and NEMA 13 rating ensures contaminant free operation - Recirculating oil lubrication system
Provides clean oil in metered amounts to all bearing points - AIDA hydraulic overload protection HOLP
Fastest acting HOLP in the industry (10ms), adjustable from 60-100% of rated press tonnage - Proven mechanical drivetrain
Design allows AIDA to use same drivetrain as mechanical equivalent - Allen-Bradley based HMI
Swing-arm mounted, 12" color touch screen - 8 Input die protection
Both PNP/NPN signals, expandable to 16 (DSI box optional) - Tonnage monitor
Optional integrated tonnage monitor, peak and reverse load or signature analysis - Full-length, 6-point slide guides
Easily set to maintain slide to bolster parallelism of less than .001"/ft - Light curtains
Front and rear mounted, vertical & horizontal light curtains to protect operators from the die space during operation - Accessible and ample die space
Up to 94.5" x 35.4" slide area, 102.4" x 47.2" bolster area, 25.6" die height (300 ton), and T-slots on 6" centers, allow for a range of production
The AIDA DSF-N2-AB Direct Drive Unitized Frame Servo Press marries the successful mechanical design of the NS2 Series Mechanical Unitized Frame press with AIDA's DSF Direct Drive Servo. This combines the rigidity of a unitized frame with the flexibility of the freely programmable servo motion.

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 Servo Motors
The Most Powerful Servo Motors Available for Stamping PressesDirect drive servo motors, driving the industry's leading servo presses. Low speed, high torque, specifically manufactured for stamping press applications using standard press drive train design.
Ball and Socket Connections
Improved Design When Compared to Wrist Pin ConnectionsEliminate one of the largest maintenance costs of a stamping press: the wrist pin slide connections. Designed to withstand the rigors of heavy stamping.
High Precision Drivetrain System
Utilizes Hardened and Ground Pinion and Main GearsProvides industry minimal backlash resulting in improved press accuracy. Integrated hardened pinion minimizes required gear diameters and related drivetrain inertia.
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
Recirculating Oil Lubrication System
Providing Clean Oil in Metered Amounts to all Bearing PointsOil from all lube points is captured, filtered, and recirculated. Bearing points are monitored to ensure that they receive the correct amount of oil.
Servo Press Control Features
AIDA / Allen-Bradley Servo Press Control
12" HMI For presses 80 - 300 tons. User friendly design, large touch screen enhances ease of operation. Locally designed and manufactuered to meet North American customer needs.

200 Ton Servo Press with Progressive DieThis video shows how Pinnacle Tool Works, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, was able to increase production from 35 parts per minute on an AIDA PMX-4000, 400 ton mechanical link motion press to 50 parts per minute on a an AIDA DSF-N2-2000, 200 ton DSF Series servo press (shown slower in the video because of manual packing of the parts). Additionally, Pinnacle was able to reduce the scrap rate from 4% to 1%. AIDA-America supplied the press in 2017. Pinnacle also owns and operates an AIDA DSF-N2-3000, 300 ton two-point servo press.
