Instead of just replacing the flywheel with a large servomotor, Komatsu designed its servo press drive as a system, incorporating standard AC servo motors and various proven torque multiplying designs that vary according to the application.

Designed to handle today’s high strength materials with controlled slide motions that can eliminate many secondary operations, the Komatsu Servo press meets the increasing demand for cost effective, consistent and reliable manufacturing. Imagine, a mechanical press with slide accuracy in microns, adjustable stroke for optimum thru-put, fully programmable slide velocity to control reverse loading without loss of energy and dwell for multi-processes such as in–die tapping or part insertions, virtually no maintenance and less power consumption than a traditional mechanical press. As the proven leader in Servo Press Technology, Komatsu has installed over 4,000 single point gap, and multi-point straight side servo presses with capacity to 3500 tons.
