Direct Drive Electric Screw Press

Direct Drive Screw Press – High precision, low maintenance forging press with energy savings, ideal for titanium, aerospace & automotive components.

What Is Direct Drive Electric Screw Press ?

Direct Drive Electric Screw Press is one of the most advanced forging machines designed for precision, energy saving, and reliability. Unlike traditional friction screw presses or gear-driven models, the direct drive press eliminates intermediate mechanisms and directly connects the motor to the screw shaft. This results in higher accuracy, reduced energy loss, and lower maintenance costs, making it a preferred choice for modern forging plants.

🔹 Encoder

The press is equipped with an encoder that ensures the slider performs precise strokes, preventing excess load on the die and protecting both the tooling and the forging job.

🔹 Sensor

Advanced sensors guarantee that all interlocks function correctly, ensuring safe operation of the screw press, protecting operators, and maintaining smooth forging production.

🔹 Motor

A heavy-duty motor delivers maximum power to the forging press, providing strong impact energy for each stroke, enabling accurate shaping of metals in closed die forging lines.

🔹 ABB Drive

The ABB inverter drive ensures energy savings by adjusting motor performance according to load, optimizing forging efficiency, and reducing operating costs effectively.

This results in higher accuracy, reduced energy loss, and lower maintenance costs, making it a preferred choice for modern forging plants.

In an Electric Screw Press, the lead screw impact area is designed to sustain high bearing loads, ensuring maximum forging capability. This critical zone absorbs and distributes forces during pressing, minimizing stress on the screw and ram. By efficiently handling high-impact loads, it maintains precision, reduces wear, and allows consistent, high-capacity forging operations, ensuring long service life and reliable performance for demanding industrial applications.

The single-body casting of an Electric Screw Press ensures high structural rigidity, reduces vibrations, and maintains precise alignment, enhancing press accuracy and long-term durability.

Key Features

High Accuracy – Each stroke delivers exactly the required forging energy.
Energy Saving – No gear or friction loss, giving up to 30% power savings.
Low Maintenance – Simple design with fewer moving parts, reducing downtime.
Programmable Control – Equipped with servo drive and PLC, operators can set stroke energy, stroke length, and monitor digitally.
Quiet & Clean Operation – Much lower noise compared to traditional hammers or friction presses.

Advantages Over Traditional Presses

Traditional gear drive presses suffer from gear wear, lubrication issues, and power losses.
Friction presses rely on flywheel energy, which is less precise and consumes more energy.
A Direct Drive Electric Screw Press delivers high torque instantly, ensuring better grain flow, reduced flash, longer die life, and improved product quality.
