By eliminating the hydraulic unit- and thus the use of oil to drive actuators and mechanical movements- the entire machine can be redesigned more rationally. In an electric solution, energy is consumed only when required by the process, whereas in hydraulic systems, a significant portion of energy is lost due to the continuous operation of the power unit and to the inherent inefficiencies of the circuit.
Energy savings- One of the main advantages is energy efficiency. This benefit has not only been evaluated in theoretical terms, but through a structured measurement and comparison project carried out with Turtle, a spinoff of the University of Bologna. The study involved specific instrumental measurements

aimed at objectively determining both energy consumption and the CO 2 footprint associated with machine operation. The results revealed a measurable improvement, with a reduction in energy consumption and environmental impact of approximately 30 %.
Precision and process stability- Electric technology enables superior precision and stability. Direct axis control allows position, speed, acceleration and force to be managed with greater accuracy and repeatability, reducing the influence of variables typical of hydraulic systems such as oil temperature, pressure losses, component wear and performance variations over time. This results in a more stable process, greater performance consistency and more uniform product quality.
Reduced maintenance- The absence of a hydraulic unit eliminates all activities related to oil management, filter replacement and the monitoring of hoses, fittings, valves and potential leaks. Reducing the number of components subject to wear and degradation means fewer routine and extraordinary maintenance interventions, improving machine availability and supporting production continuity.

Lower environmental impact- From an environmental perspective, the advantages are clear. In addition to reduced energy consumption, the elimination of hydraulic oil provides direct benefits in terms of cleanliness, safety, reduced spill risks and simplified management of operating materials. Furthermore, noise levels are significantly reduced, improving working conditions for operators. In an industrial context increasingly focused on sustainability, this represents both an operational and a strategic value.
Shorter and more consistent machine cycles- Electric technology enables shorter and more consistent cycles. The dynamic performance of electric motor, combined with precise control, allows movements to be optimized, reducing idle time while maintaining high cycle repeatability. In fact, what matters is not only the maximum achievable speed, but also the machine’ s ability to maintain the same performance level over time in a stable and reliable way. Thanks to this innovation and sustainability-driven approach, IPM Srl continues to develop technologies that actively contribute to the transformation and modernization of the industry, offering solutions that are increasingly efficient, reliable and environmentally responsible.
