Servo Actuator for advanced motion & process control
Thermal Press provide many choices for Servos Actuators, to meet ALL of your most demanding advanced motion and force requirements.

A Thermal Press Machine with the Servo Actuator provides a much more advanced motion control capability versus a standard pneumatic actuator, as well as the extremely accurate distance control capabilities of the servo.

Our Machines and Solutions with our Servo Actuators include complete programmable motion controls and the ability to save multiple motion profiles within the existing stored Recipe infrastructure. Servo Actuator option allows for an Operator (Password protected, of course) to program the Rate of Motions, Hold &or Pause Times between motions via the integrated Touchscreen (HMI).

This is how our Thermal Presses with the Servo Actuators will help you achieve the highest level of success and accuracy in your most demanding assembly and production requirements.
