A pneumatic cylinder is primarily an actuator, while a precision press is designed as a complete pressing system with the structure, guidance, tooling and process control needed for consistent and repeatable assembly.
SCHMIDT press technologies include manual, pneumatic, hydro-pneumatic, electric and servo press systems. The suitable technology depends on the force, movement, production and process-control requirements of the application.
Selection depends on the component, pressing process, required force, stroke, cycle time and quality requirements. Preston can evaluate the application and recommend a suitable press configuration.
SCHMIDT integrates the press, force/stroke sensing, control and software within one coordinated system, allowing the pressing process to be measured and evaluated during each cycle.
Yes. Preston can integrate tooling, fixtures, guarding and controls around the press, while suitable systems can also capture force, stroke, pressing curves and process results for quality records and traceability. Preston's actual SCHMIDT projects include captured OK/NOK results, serial numbers and complete pressing curves.
