The complete line of EVOx™ servo-electric presses from Beckwood Press Company (St. Louis, MO) include models ranging from 1,000 lbf (.5 tons) to 100,000 lbf (50 tons) that are ideal for light-duty assembly applications, including clamping, crimping, joining, press fitting, punching/blanking, riveting, spring testing, staking, and swaging. These presses are powered by Exlar® electric roller-screw actuators from Curtiss-Wright Corporation (Davidson, NC), in lieu of hydraulic systems. Eliminating the hoses, pumps, and hydraulic oil improves cleanliness, energy efficiency, and operator safety while lowering operational and maintenance costs. The roller-screw technology ensures that these Exlar actuators last longer than traditional ball-screw actuators. EVOx presses feature a programmable, intuitive controls system that guarantees positional repeatability to within ±0.0005 in while offering force and positional feedback. Additionally, actuator size, frame style, dwell time, safety guarding, and other parameters are fully configurable.

Due to the inherent benefits of servo technology, servo-electric actuators are also offered as an option on all new forming equipment and as a post-installation upgrade on existing hydraulic presses up to 200 tons. “As manufacturing facilities and assembly plants continue to become more efficient, OEMs like us have been challenged change the status quo. Our new servo press equipment and retrofit capabilities are changing the game for press rooms in highly precise and more ‘traditional’ hydraulic press applications alike,” said Jeffrey Debus, the president of Beckwood.
