Integrated stepper motors trim accurate metal forming costs

Control Engineering

To reduce design costs and maintain quick and precise positioning of backgauges before each metal-forming cycle, CI chose integrated stepper motors. . Those with six motorized reference surfaces provide two reference points in each direction of 3D space for the reliable forming of complicated parts. metal plates. CONSIDER THIS .
