At first glance, press-fit assembly would seem to be much simpler than, say, welding or installing threaded fasteners. However, there’s a lot more to the process than simply jamming one part into another part.
Evolved from more than 38 years in factory automation, our electric nutrunner and servo press systems are fully engineered to meet your specific requirements, whether you're in the automotive, aerospace, off-road equipment, appliance, medical, defense or other industries.
Every process change made by a manufacturer brings with it one or more unique challenges. Consider, for example, the challenges involved when switching from manual or pneumatic presses to servo models for low-force-pressing applications.
As the world shifts towards high-tech solutions and products, the assembly industry is too. That’s why Beckwood developed the EVOx line of standard and custom servo-electric presses which use electric actuators in lieu of hydraulic systems to precisely control the ram.
When a press application requires 1,000 pounds of force or less, manufacturers increasingly prefer an electromechanical servo press to a manual or pneumatic one.
Diabetes is on the rise worldwide. Some 10 million people are diagnosed with the disease every year. That unfortunate statistic has led to increased demand for insulin pens. These medical devices are used by diabetics to inject insulin.
As the stand-alone, product-dedicated press becomes more obsolete, workcells and assembly lines with integrated presses are becoming more flexible and productive
Load cells and sensors used with presses measure several key variables, such as ram force, distance and time, and help ensure they stay within allowable tolerances.
