Stamtec’s Link Motion Drive technology is available on most Stamtec press models. With link motion, the slide velocity decreases by up to 40% during the working portion of the stroke, so the material flows more effectively, while the non-working portion of the stroke increases by an offsetting amount to maintain high production rates. The result is a better quality part at higher production rates. In addition, slower speed through the working stroke reduces die impact, punch penetration, snap-through, noise, and vibration, thereby increasing machine and die life.
Link Motion Drive technology can be added as an optional feature on any press but is a standard feature on the following presses:
