geartrain, an increase in mechanical advantage is achieved. Additional mechanical advantage is achieved with double-geared presses along with the possibility of longer strokes.
Another way to address energy- related problems with deep-drawing operations, especially when forming higher-strength materials, is to con- sider the benefits of a servo-driven mechanical press. Here, high-capacity servomotors and energy-storage devices replace the flywheel, motor and clutch/brake systems. A servo- drive press can provide full energy and constant torque even when speed is reduced to as slow as 1 stroke/min.
When comparing flywheel-drive and servo-drive press technologies, remem- ber that although there are key differ- ences between the press types, funda- mental principles of tonnage de-rating apply to both. MF
