Whether to improve ergonomics, increase production or if an applications set-up requires it, we often receive requests for a hand press that can attain full stroke with less handle rotation, particularly with longer stroke presses. Listening to needs of our customer base, we recently developed a solution to accomplish just that, a device that is adaptable to most manual SCHMIDT presses.rnrnNo magic. We simply take advantage of a gear ratio to provide the same ram travel with less handle rotation. The standard unit has a 2 to 1 reduction ratio. The handle rotation now is half as compared to a standard press to achieve the same ram travel. If necessary, this ratio can be customized to fit a particular application. The down sides are; the press head becomes a bit wider, pulling the handle has become a bit harder (overcome the return spring) and the force output of the press is reduced byrnthe same ratio.rnrnHere is an example: Our standard Nr 3 Manual press requires 220 degrees of handle rotation to achieve its full 70 mm / 2.76” of ram travel. Maximum force is 2.4 kN / 540 lbs with a 200 N/ 44 lbs force in the handle. A press equipped with a 2:1 ratio handle rotation reduction will achieve the same 70 mm / 2.76” of total stroke with only 110 degrees of handle rotation. The generated force on the ram now is reduced to 1.2 kN / 270 lbs, based on the same 200 N/ 44 lbs input force on the handle.rnrnThis handle rotation reduction system can be added to any new Manual press and most existing Manual presses. Some minor modifications to the press head are required, so a press that is already in the field would need to be returned to Schmidt Technology for this upgrade.rn

Torque motors are used in applications that require fast movement and precise positioning. When properly designed for pressing, as with SCHMIDT® Technology’s new TorquePress 200, they provide a highly-dynamic and powerful system that is more cost effective, efficient and quieter than conventional servo motors.nnrn
Using a direct drive system, the TorquePress 200 lowers operational costs by eliminating mechanical components such as belts and gears and it accelerates faster and maintains higher precision at higher speeds than traditional servo based systems, decreasing cycle time.nnrn
With its rigid construction, lower moment of inertia and precision wear-free roller ram guidance, the TorquePress 200 provides a better solution than other motor driven spindles while operating at high loads and any speed. The system is mechanically protected from overload and motor loads are stabilized through an active temperature-controlled cooling system.nnrn
As with all Schmidt Technology electro-mechanical press systems, the TorquePress 200 incorporates on-board process data acquisition and, when interfaced to the Schmidt PressControl 5000 control system, provides true closed loop force and positioning control, as well as 100% quality control of pressing operations.nnrn
Whether your application requires a basic precision assembly press, or you need a press with full control and in process monitoring, Schmidt has your solution.nnrn

nnrnnnThe PMEC includes the controller, power supply, acceleration/speed change function, PC connection cable and all other standard accessories all at an affordable price. The MEC PC software is free from IAI.nnrn 
nnrnnnMEC controllers can be operated using the exact same signals normally used to operate air cylinders. This means you can use the same PLC programs currently using.nnrnnn nnrn 
nnrnnnPush-motion operation can be performed just like you do with air cylinders.nnrnnnYou can also use the MEC PC software to change the standard settings so that the actuator will stop at a desired intermediate point between the home and stroke end.nnrn
