The TMX's blank feeding device also helps increase productivity by sensing and correcting double blank misfeeds and reloading without the operator stopping the press.
Featuring an extremely rigid tie-rod frame, the Aida TMX's eight point square slide guide and wider spaced slide connections combine for unmatched resistance to slide tipping from off-center loads while maintaining dynamic accuracy during stroking.
The TMX also features Aida's unique Hydraulic Overload Protection system.
When an overload occurs, an oil-filled chamber collapses, triggering Aida's oil escape system which responds in just 10 milliseconds - the fastest response in the industry.
This instantaneous reaction is only possible with the Aida metal-to-metal seal type HOLP system.
Aida's TMX is available in both standard crank and link motion designs.
The Aida link motion - simplified and perfected by Aida, can reduce drawing velocity by up to 40 percent and remains slow through the bottom of the stroke - resulting in improved part quality and enhanced tool life.
Tool life is also extended because the TMX's high-precision components provide minimal overall clearance resulting in lower vibration during operation.
Aida is a leading pioneer in the metalforming industry with over 85 years of innovation.
Devoting five percent or more of its consolidated sales to research and development, Aida continues to provide global metalforming solutions.
Recent examples include the tie-rod straightside NST and unitized frame straightside NSU.
These high performance presses have been built with rigid construction and are especially suited for multi-purpose job applications.
Exporting presses to more than 50 countries, Aida has built a global operations system that focuses on world markets to foster greater efficiency in all operational activities - from development to manufacturing, sales and service.
Aida maintains a strong global presence with a local customer service approach that is supported by one of the metalforming industry's largest networks of manufacturing and sales organizations in the world.
Aida offers a full range of presses from 300kN to 40MN including gap, straightside, progressive die, high-speed up to 3000 strokes per minute, transfer and cold forming presses as well as press automation and total turnkey packages.
Aida worldwide boasts 114,000m2 of manufacturing space including facilities in the United States, Malaysia, China and Japan.
With more than 1200- employees and a press manufacturing capacity exceeding 2000 presses per year, Aida is, in units produced, one of the largest press manufacturers in the world.
