Assembly Presses

Fastening and pressing equipment have been used to assemble medical devices for decades, and that's not likely to change anytime soon.

Since 1985, Staufermatic Maschinenbau GmbH has made a name for itself worldwide in two specialties. One is designing and manufacturing special-purpose machinery for assembly, riveting, drilling, leak testing, safety and press-fitting.

In manufacturing, ironclad formulas for success are hard to come by. This is especially relevant for press-fit assembly, a process whereby one part is inserted tightly into a hole in another part with a single quick stroke (1 to 2 seconds).

Millions of people visit health clubs to work out on stationary bikes and treadmills every day. In contrast, only several thousand people get their daily exercise by actually assembling these pieces of equipment.

Large lithium-ion battery packs are composed of multiple individual cells, each of which contains a pair of compacted lithium-ion powder pellets separated by a collector plate.

Over the years, SCHMIDT Technology has expanded its servo-controlled press technology to include eight high-end ServoPress Systems, rack & pinion-driven ElectricPress Systems and our recently introduced high-speed TorquePress Systems.

There are literally thousands of assembly operations that require an electro-mechanical assembly press.

Electromechanical servo press technology uses less energy than pneumatic or hydraulic assembly systems since they only draw current on demand – an energy reduction of 70-90 % is feasible with the electromechanical approach.

Overall, 2016 has been a pretty good year for U.S. manufacturing. In every industry covered by ASSEMBLY magazine, manufacturers were investing in people, plants and equipment.
