Beckwood to Launch New Linear Servo Press (LSP) Technology at FABTECH® 2023
St. Louis, MO – Beckwood Press Company, a leading manufacturer of custom hydraulic and servo-electric presses, automation systems, and the Triform line of precision forming equipment, will unveil new high-tonnage Linear Servo Press technology (patent pending) at the FABTECH® show in Chicago. Visitors to booth D41108 will see first-hand the new era of press technology that is unmatched in terms of forming flexibility, production throughput, precision, and uptime.
New to the press industry, the LSP product line is the latest in press technology. LSP combines the flexibility of hydraulic presses and the performance of servo mechanical presses. LSP is ideal for modern manufacturers in industries ranging from compression molding to advanced steel forming and is available at a competitive acquisition cost.
The model LSP-250-3060 on display will feature 250 tons of force rated anywhere in the stroke via an all-electric actuation system with two linear servo actuators, a 30-in. x 60-in. forming area, and production-level speeds. The technology requires no crankshaft, counterbalance, flywheel, or hydraulic power unit, and results in minimal scheduled maintenance throughout millions of cycles.
Explore the intuitive programming and cycle parameters with fully configurable speeds, pressures, and positions. Programming infrastructure not only allows for full control with flexible recipe creation but strict part traceability, tonnage monitoring, and overload protection to increase die life. Learn about the modes of operation, and watch the press reach tight positional and pressure accuracies. See the real-time data logging and acquisition system with high-resolution graphing capabilities.
“We are excited to unveil LSP at FABTECH® in Chicago,” said Beckwood president Jeffrey Debus. “This product line is truly a disrupter because it merges only the best aspects of servo-mechanical and hydraulic presses into one machine and is a great example of Beckwood’s commitment to staying on the forefront of manufacturing technology through continuous innovation.”
