Link motion mechanical presses and servo presses are two distinct types of machines used in metal forming processes. Link motion presses operate based on a mechanical linkage system, while servo presses utilize advanced servo motor technology. Let’s explore the key differences between these two press types.
Motion Control
Link Motion Mechanical Press
- Operates with a fixed stroke length determined by the mechanical linkage. The motion is generally less flexible and adjustable.
Servo Press
- Employs a servo motor for precise control over the slide motion. This allows for dynamic adjustments, providing flexibility in stroke length, speed, and dwell time.
Precision and Accuracy
Link Motion Mechanical Press
- Offers good precision but may have limitations in achieving high accuracy due to the mechanical linkage.
Servo Press
- Excels in precision and accuracy, as the servo motor allows for fine-tuned control, making it suitable for intricate forming processes.
