Power press dies changed in 5-10 min
An automated quick die change system fitted to automotive supplier's power presses allows it to complete its die change process in five to ten minutes.
This technology is now available in the LinearBeam, a new product from Serapid.
The LinearBeam functions as a rodless linear actuator, but the similarity between the LinearBeam and other rodless actuators end there.
Serapid's LinearBeam can withstand the harshest and most demanding operating conditions while extending forces able to move mountains (literally).
Two-hundred ton loads are not uncommon for this linear actuator.
Furthermore, the Serapid LinearBeam can extend to virtually any stroke length without limitation.
Recent applications include a system to move nuclear waste 30m, movement of a 200 ton orchestra on a stage, steel mill transfer systems, an off-shore skid movement transfer system and furnace loading systems.
When presented with a motion problem that is difficult to solve, regardless of the environment, turn to Serapid's expert staff to engineer a solution that will be suited to your exact application requirements.
