Servo Press Integration
Custom servo press machine design and integration for press-fit assembly, crimping, forming, and quality-critical pressing applications. Force-displacement monitoring on every cycle.
Custom Servo Press Machine Integration
When you need precise, repeatable force control for your assembly process, a servo press system is often the answer. Unlike pneumatic or hydraulic presses, servo presses give you complete control over force, position, and velocity throughout the entire stroke - and most importantly, they record everything.
AMD Machines has been a servo press integrator for over two decades now. We design and build turnkey servo press systems that integrate seamlessly into your production line, wether its a standalone press station or part of a larger automated cell.
Why Work With a Servo Press System Integrator?
- We handle everything - mechanical design, controls, programming, and commissioning
- Single point of responsibility for your servo press automation project
- Experience integrating all major brands (Kistler, TOX, Promess, Schmidt, FEC)
- Full support from concept through production and beyond
As a servo press automation supplier, we've delivered hundreds of turnkey systems across automotive, medical device, electronics, and appliance manufacturing. Each system is custom-designed for your specific application - there's no one-size-fits-all here.
Servo Press Applications
From bearing press-fits to complex forming operations, we build servo press systems for virtually any pressing application.
Servo Press for Press-Fit Assembly
The most common application we see. When you're pressing bearings, bushings, seals, or pins into housings, you need force control and verification - not just brute force.
Bearing Press-Fit
Servo press for bearing press fit applications requires careful control of insertion force and final position. We monitor the force-displacement curve to detect undersized bores, contamination, or misaligned parts before they become scrap.
Bushing Insertion
Servo press for bushing insertion typically needs variable force profiles - gentle start to find the bore, controlled insertion, then verification of final seat. We've done thousands of these across automotive and appliance.
Shaft Insertion
Servo press for shaft insertion into motor rotors, gear assemblies, or bearing races. Critical for electric motor assembly where rotor-stator alignment matters.
Pin & Insert Pressing
Servo press for pin insertion and insert pressing. From dowel pins to threaded inserts, we build press fit servo press systems that verify every insertion.
Servo Press for Crimping, Staking & Riveting
Crimping and staking operations need controlled deformation - too little and the joint is weak, too much and you've damaged the component. Servo presses excel here.
Crimping Stations
Our servo press crimping station designs handle electrical terminals, hose fittings, tube assemblies, and mechanical fasteners. The servo press for crimping application monitors crimp force and height for 100% verification.
Staking Operations
Electric servo press for staking operations - orbital staking, radial staking, and spin staking. We integrate the right tooling and monitoring for your specific joint requirements.
Riveting
Servo press for riveting applications including self-piercing rivets and conventional rivets. Some applications call for orbital riveting servo press integration which we handle as well.
Swaging
Servo press for swaging tube ends, cable terminals, and other components requiring controlled radial compression.
Servo Press for Forming, Embossing & Punching
Beyond assembly, servo presses are excellent for controlled forming operations where you need precise force and position control.
Metal Forming
Servo press for metal forming where you need controlled velocity profiles through the forming stroke. Programmable deceleration reduces shock loading on tooling.
Embossing
Servo press for embossing operations requiring precise depth control and consistent force application across the part surface.
Punching Stations
Servo press for punching station applications. The controlled breakthrough reduces shock and extends tool life compared to mechanical presses.
Forming Cell Automation
Complete servo press forming cell automation including part handling, press operation, and quality verification.
Force-Displacement Monitoring
This is really where servo presses shine. Every press operation generates a force-displacement curve that tells you exactly what happened during the press.
Force Displacement Monitoring Servo Press
Every servo press with force monitoring we integrate captures the complete force-position relationship throughout the stroke. This curve is compared against acceptance windows in real-time - bad parts get rejected before they ever leave the station.
A servo press with displacement monitoring tracks position to micron-level accuracy. Combined with force data, you get the complete picture of what's happening between your parts.
Press Fit Force Displacement Curve Analysis
The press fit force displacement curve reveals everything about your press operation:
- Initial contact point - detects part presence and alignment
- Insertion slope - reveals interference fit and surface condition
- Peak force - confirms proper seating depth
- Final position - verifies assembly dimension
Our press force signature analysis compares each curve against known-good reference envelopes. Parts outside the window get flagged immediately.
In-Process Quality Monitoring
In process quality monitoring for press fit operations means you catch problems as they happen - not downstream at final inspection. A poka yoke servo press station physically prevents bad parts from continuing down the line.
Servo Press Integration
A servo press isn't much use sitting by itself. We integrate presses into complete automated systems with full connectivity.
PLC Integration
Servo press with PLC integration is pretty much standard for any automated application. We handle the interfacing, handshaking, and data exchange between press controller and cell PLC.
Industrial Networks
We integrate servo press Ethernet IP, servo press Profinet, and other industrial network integration requirements. Whatever protocol your plant runs, we can connect.
Safety Integration
Servo press safety PLC integration is critical - presses generate significant forces. We design proper guarding, light curtains, and safety interlocks per applicable standards.
Barcode & Vision
Servo press barcode scanner integration for part traceability. Servo press vision system integration for part presence verification before pressing.
Recipe Management
Servo press recipe management for multi-product lines. Automatic recipe changeover based on part number or barcode scan.
HMI Programming
Servo press HMI programming for operator interface, recipe selection, and diagnostics. We design intuitive screens that reduce training time.
Servo Press Retrofit
Already have press stations running? We can upgrade them to servo with force monitoring - often at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
Replace Pneumatic Press with Servo Press
If your current pneumatic presses don't give you the force control or data you need, replacing them with servo makes sense. Our servo press replacement for pneumatic press projects typically include:
- Removal of existing cylinder and valving
- Installation of servo press actuator in existing frame (when possible)
- New controller with force-displacement monitoring
- Updated safety system to current standards
- Operator training and documentation
Add Force Monitoring to Existing Press
Sometimes you don't need a full servo press - you just need to add force monitoring to existing equipment. Our servo press upgrade force monitoring packages add load cells, displacement sensors, and monitoring systems to your current presses.
