Servo-Driven Mechanical Presses
Komatsu America Industries LLC Booth S4331
Under power at the Komatsu booth in the METALFORM technology area of Fabtech will be a model H1F 200 servo- drive press—a 220-ton single point press featuring a flex- ible automation system and new feed system specifically designed for servo-press applications.
All Komatsu servo presses feature slide accuracy and repeatability measured in microns; fully programmable slide velocity and dwell for optimum throughput and con- trol of reverse loading; and reportedly have at least three times more working energy in the die space than com- parable conventional presses, while consuming 30 per- cent less electrical power. www.komatsupress.com
