What is the difference between a servo press and a normal press?

The differences between servo presses and ordinary presses are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. How it works

A servo press is a press driven by a servo motor. Its working principle is to control the up and down movement of the press through the servo motor to achieve precise control of the pressure. Ordinary presses are usually driven by hydraulic or pneumatic drive. Its working principle is to achieve the up and down movement of the press through the extension and contraction of the hydraulic cylinder or the cylinder. The pressure control is relatively simple.

1. Control accuracy

The servo press adopts advanced servo control system, which can realize precise control of parameters such as pressure, speed, position, etc., with high control accuracy and good repeatability. However, due to the limitation of driving mode, the control accuracy of ordinary press is relatively low and the repeatability is poor.

1. Energy saving effect

The servo press is driven by a servo motor, which has a high energy conversion efficiency and can achieve energy saving and consumption reduction. However, due to the limitation of the driving mode, the energy conversion efficiency of ordinary presses is low and the energy consumption is relatively high.

1. How it works

Servo presses are usually equipped with advanced human-machine interfaces, easy to operate, and can achieve multiple control modes, such as manual, automatic, semi-automatic, etc. The operation of ordinary presses is relatively simple, usually only manual and automatic modes.

1. Scope of application

Servo presses are suitable for fields with high pressure control requirements, such as precision manufacturing, electronic assembly, etc., due to their high precision and high repeatability. Ordinary presses are usually suitable for fields with low pressure control requirements, such as general metal processing, plastic molding, etc., due to their low control accuracy.

1. Maintenance costs

Servo presses are driven by servo motors, so they have relatively low maintenance costs and long service life. Conventional presses are driven by hydraulic or pneumatic drives, so they have relatively high maintenance costs and short service life.

1. Noise Level

Since the servo press is driven by a servo motor, the noise level is relatively low and has little impact on the working environment. However, since the ordinary press is driven by hydraulic or pneumatic, the noise level is relatively high and has a greater impact on the working environment.

1. Environmental performance

Servo presses are driven by servo motors, which can achieve precise control of pressure, reduce energy waste, and have good environmental performance. However, due to the limitations of the driving method, ordinary presses have low energy conversion efficiency and relatively poor environmental performance.

1. Safety performance

Servo presses use advanced servo control systems, which can achieve precise control of parameters such as pressure, speed, and position, and have higher safety performance. However, ordinary presses have relatively poor safety performance due to their low control accuracy.

1. Investment cost

The investment cost of servo press is relatively high because it uses advanced servo motor and control system, while the investment cost of ordinary press is relatively low because it uses hydraulic or pneumatic drive.

1. Technology Trends

With the continuous development of industrial automation and intelligence, the servo press, as a high-precision, high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmentally friendly press, has an increasingly obvious technical development trend. However, due to its limitations, ordinary presses are gradually being replaced by servo presses.

1. Application Cases

Servo presses are widely used in many fields, such as automobile manufacturing, electronic assembly, precision machining, etc. For example, in the field of automobile manufacturing, servo presses can achieve precise molding of body parts, improve product quality and production efficiency. In the field of electronic assembly, servo presses can achieve precise installation of electronic components and improve product reliability. In the field of precision machining, servo presses can achieve precise processing of parts, improve processing accuracy and product quality.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous development of industrial automation and intelligence, the development prospects of servo presses are very broad. In the future, servo presses will be widely used in more fields, such as aerospace, medical equipment, new energy, etc. At the same time, the technology of servo presses will continue to upgrade to achieve higher control accuracy and efficiency, bringing more convenience and value to industrial production.

In short, there are obvious differences between servo presses and ordinary presses in terms of working principle, control accuracy, energy saving effect, operation mode, application scope, maintenance cost, noise level, environmental performance, safety performance, investment cost, technology development trend, application cases and development prospects. With the continuous development of industrial automation and intelligence, servo presses will gradually replace ordinary presses and become an important equipment in industrial production.
