Amada Press System Introduces Automation System for
Progressive Stamping in the EV Market
vide ideal, company representatives say, for production of battery cases, explosion- proof valves and lids, control units, bus bars, and other electrical components essential for EV relays.
Noted press features include eight- point bottom-dead-point slide gibbing and a double-crank mechanism, which provide rigidity against eccentric loads in all direc- tions during production—important as many on-vehicle EV electronic components are asymmetrical. In addition, the high- speed NC roll feed and up-loop straightener increase speed capacity by approximately four times compared to the firm’s con- ventional roll feeders that use a down- loop straightener. In addition, by adopting a backlash-less structure with directly coupled servo motor and feed roll, the speed and precision of the feed’s servo motor can be transmitted directly to the feed roll. And, considering that EV-com- ponent production may require stamping of electrical steel, copper and aluminum
Amada Press System (Isehara, Japan, and Erlanger, KY) has launched an automation package for progressive stamping-press pro- duction specifically developed for the electric
vehicle (EV) market. Equipped with a newly introduced i3 control, the system combines the firm’s Model SDEW- 8010i3 Goriki, 88-ton digital AC servo press along with an ALFAS- 03ARZ high-speed NC roll feed and a new up- loop straightener.
Integration of the operational screens and controls of the press and feed simplify setup
operations and reduce operator workload. In addition, it supports productivity improve- ments through stable high-speed and pre- cision production. The system should pro-
