Want to optimize quality and productivity during blanking, forming, drawing, embossing, coining and other mechanical-press operations? Think slide control. On a mechanical press, slide velocity-refers to the linear speed at which the slide travels at any point in the press stroke. Measured typically in ft./min. or in./sec, the actual slide velocity during forming - for a given press running the same stroke length and speed - can vary based on the type of press drive employed. Typical press drives include: standard crank, link, infinitely adjustable stroke, servo and hydraulic.
