SCHMIDT® Pneumatic Press for Forces from 1.6 kN to 60 kN
Throat depth from 86 mm to 200 mm
Working stroke from 90 mm to 600 mm

The SCHMIDT® Pneumatic Press range consists of a modular system suitable for transforming, joining and assembling operations optimally within the pressing capacities of 1.6 – 60 kN.

With the addition of the SCHMIDT® PressControl 3000 and the optional process monitoring, these presses become EC type-approved, CE-conformed workstations. Therefore these press systems can be used in either single cycle mode or automatic mode.

The application determines the selection of the press system. Consideration is given to the flexible design of the assembly location taking into account the ergonomic and safety aspects. These characteristics are achieved by means of a finely adjusted, modular type product range.

The efficiency and increased process reliability of these press systems have been proven many thousands of times, in single applications, semi-automated assembly systems and have been integrated into automated production lines.

Features:
• Optimally adapted to individual requirements due to its modular design
• Process optimization by means of adjustable parameters (stroke, force, speed)
• Easy adaptation to different tool and part heights because of simplistic stroke and height adjustment
• Easy and exact positioning of tools due to precision bore and T-slot with set screw in the ground press table
• Additional safety measures when using heavy tools due to the optional device for retention of ram in home position
• Optional end position request via cylinder switch as signal transmitter for peripheral processes
• Low noise level (< 75 dBA)
• Double-acting, wear-resistant cylinders with low air consumption for the return stroke. The return stroke is carried out via one cylinder    chamber by default.
• High flexibility due to short changeover time
• Long service life and high precision due to wear-resistant Teflon coated bushings at top & bottom of cylinder
• Precision ground ram

SCHMIDT® HydroPneumaticPress For Forces from 15 kN to 220 kN

• High flexibility and economic efficiency due to short changeover times
• Easy and accurate positioning of tools due to the precise alignment between ram bore and the ground press table
• The force output preselector allows reducing the pressure for the power stroke to 1 bar. This reduces the nominal press force to 1/6 of the    maximum force.
• The end positions of the ram can be sensed via the inductive proximity switches.
• No mechanical compression spring in the cylinder of the hydro-pneumatic system, providing a long service life
• Low maintenance resulting in high productivity
• Long service life and precision due to maintenance-free guides
• Tool protection due to smooth switchover from rapid approach stroke to power stroke

SCHMIDT® TorquePress 200
Torque-Power for Servo Press

High-dynamic, powerful and low operation costs – these are the advantages by using a torque motor in the new SCHMIDT® TorquePress 200 with 200 kN nominal force and 500 mm stroke.

Torque motors are used for fast and precise move- and positioning tasks and make high torques available. Due to the hollow shaft design mechanical intermediate elements as gear, clutch or belt are not necessary. Especially in this range of performance the mentioned parts – operated under load – are subject to an accordingly high wear. Parts which are not required do not cause any costs and this reduces the service effort. Construction will be more rigid, this is very important in order to realize more dynamic motion-sequences in the assembly technology.

The very high torque of the SCHMIDT® TorquePress 200 allows very high forces without additional mechanical transmissions. The considerably higher speed constancy compared to conventional drives entails a higher machine precision.

In comparison to high ratio electric motor driven spindle presses the SCHMIDT® TorquePress 200 has an essential lower self moment of inertia and thereby a high dynamic. For this reason the run-up time from zero to working speed is very short. The noise remains remarkably low with all load conditions.

SCHMIDT® TorquePress 200 is permanent load stable due to its active temperature-controlled cooling, like all ServoPresses of SCHMIDT Technology. A mechanical overload protection becomes active in case allowable top force of 250 kN has been exceeded.

Further highlights are the highly precise, wear-free roller-guide of the ram, the integrated fail-safe force-stroke monitoring and a true closed loop force control integrated in the drive control (continuous force control).
