Now that, for example, the sheet metal machining, joining/clinching and pressing tools are mostly operated in stationary, handheld or robot-guided tongs by heavy, stiff, nonflexible hydraulic cylinders of large dimension, a precise reproducible control of the processes is not possible.
Specially as in such cases the process monitoring is also very complicated and allows only a control function but no optimization. For this reason, the specialist for driving techniques and sheet metal joining systems, TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG, D-88250 Weingarten, offers a modular-compatible kit system containing compact hydraulic, pneumohydraulic, and electromechanic precision driving cylinders.
It serves to individually conceive driving techniques for handheld-, machine-mount-, and robot tongs, to build them according to requirements, equip them in a cost-saving way, and operate them finally with high energy-efficiency.
