Design Features of a Press with a Servo Drive

The equipment is a CNC mechanical press designed for the production of wheel nuts and washers through cold forging from wire and rod.

Its operation principle is based on transforming the rotational motion of the drive into the reciprocating motion of the slider.

The working part of the cold forging press is a stamp consisting of two halves: the upper movable (punch) and the lower fixed (die). The die is attached to the press table, while the punch is affixed to the press slide.

The press machine includes an automatic mechanism for feeding metal into the working area, a calibration device for straightening the rod workpiece, and a conveyor for removing metal shavings from beneath the working area.

The main engine of the press machine is equipped with oil cooling, and the cold heading press features a centralized lubricant supply system.

For cold forging washers and nuts, the press is equipped with a Kingservo servo drive from Taiwan. In comparison with traditional knuckle joint cold forging presses, this design decelerates the ram at the bottom dead center, enhancing forming accuracy. The contact speed of the stamp is low, extending the service life of both the stamps and the press, and reducing noise at the point of contact. The servo drive with negative feedback control ensures precise control of motion parameters, with key characteristics including motor dynamics, motion uniformity, and energy efficiency. This servo drive design is highly optimal for forging operations, cutting thick sheets, and cold forming.

The operator controls the press through a touch screen, adjusting all production parameters, including productivity, die equipment height, feed length, and others.

The press body, designed like a box, offers excellent rigidity and improved bottom dead center accuracy. Holes on the sides facilitate the convenient installation of additional equipment for automation and protection, according to customer requirements.

The cold forging press drive is completely concealed inside the housing. The press ram is driven by a servo drive, gears, and an eccentric shaft, connected by toggle joints.

A safety brake is incorporated. If no operation occurs within 30 seconds after the main motor starts operating, the safety brake automatically cuts off the power supply to the main motor, stopping the mechanism instantly. The safety brake design employs dry friction pads.

The press's safety system adheres to the highest press machine safety standards, ensuring worker comfort and safety. It includes photoelectric sensors that automatically shut off the equipment when foreign objects enter the work area. Additionally, the press safety system features emergency stop devices, motor overload protection, prevention of excessively low rotation speeds, and error monitoring.


A typical set of equipment for the production of truck wheel nuts

  • 3-position automatic servo-driven press for cold forging of products.
  • Continuous Die set with programmable progressive step and quick change system.
  • Mechanism with servo drive for automatic workpieces transfer.
  • Cutting and flattening press machine.
  • Straightening and unwinding device for wire..


Technological process for manufacturing a wheel washer by stamping from wire or rod

The coil of wire is installed on the unwinder. The wire is unwinded and fed to the wire straightening device. The feed rate is controlled by the inverter. The wire straightening device guides the wire with steel rolls in the vertical and horizontal plane. Next, the feed mechanism directs the end of the wire to a cutting machine to cut the wire to length and flatten it using a hammer.

After this, the flattened workpiece is moved using a transport mechanism or conveyor into the vibrating hopper of a 3-position cold forging press.

From the vibrating hopper, the workpiece is moved along a guide to the cold forging zone. An automatic workpiece transfer mechanism (grab transfer) with a servo drive alternately moves the workpiece to forging positions 1, 2 and 3.

In the first forging position, preliminary deformation of the wheel nut (washer) is performed. In the second position, the piercing punch forms the hole for the future product. In the third position, the product becomes marketable. Then the products are unloaded into factory containers.

Possibility of re-adjusting cold forging presses for upsetting products from rods (coils of wire) and from steel sheets

Cold forging presses are ideal for upsetting washers and various flat products. A special feature of this equipment is the ability to plant flat-shaped products from metal rods, as well as from sheet metal.

The dies are made of high quality metal SKD-11 and S45C.

The possibility of lateral movement (left/right) of the workpiece feed mechanism allows you to punch holes of up to five pieces across the width of the strip. This allows for the most efficient use of the workpiece metal and minimizes production waste when stamping washers from sheet steel.
