“ Better control , greater speed and versatility , shorter cycle times and higher energy savings are just some of the hallmarks of the latest new stamping technologies .”
In 2021 , AIDA launched its new DSF-NE2 , a monolithic two-point servo press that combines the high rigidity structure of the monobloc frame with the flexibility of the freely programmable servo movement of the proprietary AIDA DSF ® technology ; Direct Servo Former ®.
The complete AIDA press line series includes servo presses ; high-speed automatic presses for motor core lamination and precision forming presses . Its AET ( AIDA Electronic Transfer ) solution enables the movement of blanks and parts in multi-station or interconnected presses . It was designed for retrofit installations and can be integrated on most brands of mechanical and servo presses .
Two AIDA presses were demonstrated at this year ’ s FABTECH Mexico event ( 7-9 May 2024 ): an AIDA NC1 single-point mechanical press ( models range from 35-250 tons ) and AIDA ’ s A Series single-point , direct-drive , gapframe servo press with Allen-Bradley control . AIDA debuted its NSX mechanical stamping press at FABTECH 2023 in Chicago , USA , last September .
Two product lines that are dedicated to the production of motor laminations are the AIDA HMX Series and AIDA MSP Series presses . The AIDA MSP press enables users to produce
