Mechanical eccentric presses

Eccentric forging presses from SMS group impress with their very high precision in combination with high productivity. The rigidity of the press in longitudinal and transverse directions creates the ideal preconditions for precision forging. You also benefit from the rapid-adjustment system for the ram because it makes any necessary corrections during ongoing production quick and easy.

Benefits:

  • High rigidity in both longitudinal and transverse directions ideal for producing precision forging
  • Fast stroke rate and short non-productive times ensure you enhance both productivity and output
  • Quick corrections during ongoing production thanks the rapid-adjustment system for the ram

Eccentric presses with MEERtorque® servo drive concept

The MT closed-die forging press is one of the latest generation of eccentric presses from SMS group. The MEERtorque® servo drive concept is the technical highlight of the press, wherby the eccentric shaft and the flywheel are directly driven by dynamic torque motors. This new drive system combines the advantages of (highly dynamic) servo presses with those of presses featuring a flywheel (high forging energy storage) and a conventional brake and clutch combination. This means the forging process is both highly energy-efficient and resource-friendly. The electrical energy generated during the deceleration phase can be used to recharge the flywheel, which reduces the operating energy demand by 30–50 %. Not only that, sound emission levels are much lower with the new drive concept.

Benefits:

  • Greater energy efficiency of up to 90 % through the recovery of the deceleration energy and avoidance of sliding friction losses
  • High forming energy (flywheel) with up to 50 % lower power consumption
  • Substantially reduced maintenance costs and shutdowns as the drive unit is subject to almost no wear

Ecopress EP Series: Cost-effective modular concept

To maximize our own efficiency, we developed an EP modular press based on standardized components. This approach has substantially cut our engineering, production, and erection costs. As a result, you benefit directly from shorter delivery times, lower investment costs, and higher competitiveness because now you can produce forgings at lower cost. All the key components are easily accessible for fast maintenance and top availability. There is even a self-supporting machine housing, which ensures noise levels are far below all current regulations.

Benefits:

  • Modular system for lower investment and production costs
  • Easy maintenance and high availability
  • Low noise levels thanks to innovative machine housing
