For many press applications, precise, coordinated motion holds the key to maximizing productivity and minimizing waste and maintenance costs. Whether working on a new press or retrofitting a control system to an old press, success often rides on the capabilities of the motion controller. Here, using a hydraulic press as an example, the controller ensures operational repeatability - achieving tight control of ram speed and force applied. In turn, this necessitates using the right transducers and valves, and a motion controller with closed-loop control and fast cycle time.
