Servo-hydraulic drive

Fast responding, precise, thrifty

The „Drive-on-Demand“ system is available to reduce energy consumption. The servo-hydraulic drive is an innovative combination of a fast-responding, speed-controlled, air-cooled servo motor with a fixed displacement pump. This drive unit is only

activated when required by movements and pressure build-up. During cooling times or cycle pauses for parts handling, the

servo drive remains switched off and thus consumes no energy. In operation, “Drive-on-Demand” is the basis for highly dynamic,

controlled machine movements and short cycle times.

The „Drive-on-Demand“ system is standard in the CM series (option in VM series).

The process in constant view

» SmartEdit

SmartEdit is a visual, icon-based cycle sequence programming

facility, which enables direct addition of special functions (core

pulls, air valves, etc.) based on a standard process via touch operation on the screen. In this way, a total user-defined sequence

can be compiled from a sequence menu. This machine cycle,

visualized either horizontally or vertically, can be adjusted simply

and flexibly to the process requirements by finger touch with

“drag & drop” movements.

The advantages

– Icon visualization ensures clarity.

– Clear events sequence through node diagram

– Alterations without consequences through “dry test runs”

– Theoretical process sequence can be quickly implemented in

practice.

– Automatic calculation of the automation sequence based on

the actual set-up data set without machine movements
