Fineblanking press breaks 200-SPM barrier

Feintool has introduced the XFT 1500speed fineblanking press, which reaches speeds up to 200 SPM. The 1,500-kN press is compatible with existing tools but reaches its full potential using high-speed tools developed especially for the press, the company reports.

Without a gearbox, the drive motor operates at 200 RPM versus 1,200 RPM. The servomotor has a much faster dynamic response and can be programmed with absolute precision, says the manufacturer. The motion control unit can define acceleration, part removal, and intermediate stops to an accuracy of 2 ms.
