A guide with practical advice and further recommendations.
Productivity, efficiency and sustainability, were and are, important criteria for decision-making in investment projects. This is even more true in times of energy transition, high inflation and for investments that have a long-term impact.
In addition, there are many technical possibilities and combinations for the drive concept of hydraulic presses, which play out their individual advantages depending on the application. For some years now, solutions with servo technology have been increasingly advertised with a wide range of benefits. However, the buyer unfortunately rarely has the time and expertise to look in detail with the available options and is often disoriented by the extensive offers and the associated promises.
For clarification of the situation and technical explanation of typical drive systems, we have written a guide which can be found under the following link.

This guide provides you with assistance and advice for choosing the appropriate press system for the industrial production of stamped or formed metal and composite components. The evaluation takes place based on an operating cost analysis that considers both the holistic acquisition costs and the ongoing costs for operation and maintenance. The relevant parameters are in the field of tension and include a large number of technical as well as business aspects.
Finally, the guide shows useful options that can significantly increase the overall efficiency of the modern hydraulic press with minimal additional investment.
