200 Ton Servo Press with Progressive Die

This 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.
