Servo Press Teams with
Part-Handling Robot
Nidec Minster Corp. Booth S4705
Nidec Minster Corp., Minster, OH,
exhibits an operational Minster P2H-FX-100
servo press and an integrated Kuka part-han-
dling robot. Designed for high-volume, demanding
applications, the P2H-FX series combines the
proven characteristics of a traditional mechanically
driven press with the flexibility of a servo drive. It
is built on a one-piece cast-iron frame, and features
low deflection characteristics and slide-guiding
advancements of Minster’s P2H series. The P2H-
FX-100 is powered by a high-torque, low-speed
Siemens drive motor in a planetary gearbox
arrangement, and offers a fully programmable slide-
motion profile and a top speed of 250 strokes/min. to
enable production flexibility. P2H-FX servo presses are available in capacities of 63, 100 and 160 tons.
Formulation Protects Support Slats on Cutting Equipment

The press and Minster servo control are fully integrated with a Kuka KR 90 R2700 robot, which demonstrates blank-feeding and part-removal capabilities in conjunction with the servo press.
Tower Oil & Technology Co., Chicago, IL, highlights Kleneslat-RP, which extends slat life on laser-, plasma- and flame-cut- ting equipment. Synthetic, oil-free, non-toxic and non-flammable, Kleneslat-RP is applied to support slats to reduce the time to clean them, increase the interval between changes and improve operator work con- ditions. Kleneslat-RP will not inhibit sec- ondary operations such as welding, paint- ing, galvanizing and painting, and it can be used as a short-term rust preventive on fer- rous metal for indoor storage.
