Fast Tool Applications
High-Dynamic Performance with Exceptional Repeatability
Precision, Dynamic Performance and Reliability – Drive Solutions for Fast Tool Applications
Maximum Precision in High-Dynamic Tool Movements
Fast tool applications are designed for speed and precision. Tools must be moved, engaged or positioned within extremely short cycle times. This results in high acceleration rates, rapid load changes and a significant number of repeated operating cycles.
Whether in high-speed forming, punching, cutting, embossing, assembly or machining operations, the tool must arrive exactly where it is needed and be released again at precisely the right moment.
Even the smallest inaccuracies can lead to scrap, accelerated tool wear or machine damage.
Drive technology must therefore fulfil several tasks simultaneously. It must execute movements dynamically, transmit forces accurately, hold positions securely and respond rapidly to disturbances. All of this must be achieved within a compact design and with minimal wear.
From Rapid Impulse to Reliable Production Motion
Whether for tool changing, linear actuation, rotary machining or highly dynamic assembly operations, Mönninghoff develops voice coil actuators, tooth clutches, shaft couplings and holding brakes for fast tool applications with demanding requirements for dynamic performance and precision.
Are you developing a highly dynamic tool movement, seeking to reduce cycle times or looking for a compact solution for engaging, positioning and holding? Talk to our experts about force, torque, stroke, switching frequency, backlash and installation space. Together, we can make fast movements reliably repeatable.
