Electromechanical joining system servo assembly press

As the core element of the joining system, the maXYmos NC monitors and controls the entire joining process. Sporting an intuitive touch screen display and an integrated sequence control, the system offers exceptional usability and an outstanding degree of flexibility making it suitable for joining process ranging from simple to highly complex. maXYmos NC controls, monitors, evaluates and documents XY curves (e.g. force vs. displacement) for joining and press-fit processes, together with NC joining modules and the IndraDrive servo amplifier that is included in the system. The shape of the measurement curves allows the quality of individual manufacturing steps, assembly groups or even an entire product to be monitored and controlled via SERCOS III in real-time. This means that optimum cycle times can be implemented with maximum repeat accuracy. Since unplanned downtimes are minimized, machine availability and the productivity of the manufacturing process are increased.

Latest study results show that users reduce energy consumption significantly when switching from hydraulic or pneumatic joining systems to electromechanical ones. As part of a commissioned study (2024), researchers at Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences examined for us three joining systems with different drive technologies and calculated the energy savings of servo presses in terms of joining work alone (joining stroke): Compared to the electromechanical joining module from Kistler, the hydraulic variant has a 5.9-fold higher energy consumption. Depending on the efficiency of the compressed air system, the pneumatic variant consumes between 8.4 and 20.6 times as much energy as the electromechanical solution from Kistler.
