Controlled punch adapter (CPA) technology
Top-quality process engineering
Equipped with up to twelve axes, this tool offers you extreme flexibility for highly complex sintered parts. That’s because each punch level interacts fully automatically and is precisely controlled by the CNC system.
Benefits
- Extremely high flexibility of all punch movements within the press cycle, as no mechanical fixed stops are required
- No mechanical fixed stop in pressing position. Advantage: no mechanical deformation during the compaction process, which means that there is no mechanical springback
- No uncontrollable force reactions on the part
- Utilization of servo-hydraulic drive or hydrostatic pump technology for getting higher press forces by very high positioning accuracy
- Even density distribution also at complex parts geometry
- Reduction of set-up time by pre-calculation of the punch movements of the press cycle
