Electromechanical Joining Modules facilitate press-fitting processes.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:31:50 -0500

Used in standardized joining and press-fitting processes with force displacement monitoring, NC joining module NCFB Type 2160A integrates piezoelectric force sensor into case and offers choice of predefined 25 and 50 kN measuring ranges. Deep end points can be reached with 400 mm stroke, and speeds up to 150 mm/s shorten machine cycle. Use of absolute encoder eliminates need for reference point determination, while firmware aids force displacement evaluation.
