Electrical Lamination Stamping Presses

Nidec Minster Corporation (Minster, OH), a global leader in the production of electrical lamination stamping presses, introduces their innovative EV Press Series that is designed specifically for the challenging ultra-thin materials used in today’s electric and hybrid vehicles. Producing laminations for the electric vehicle market typically requires long beds for extra die space and push-pull feeds to accommodate the thin material. “The EV Press Series incorporates the rugged characteristics of our PM4 Presses,” said Mark Prenger, the general manager of Nidec Minster’s Energy/Electrical Product Division, maintaining that low deflection is critical. “The bed and slide are massive components and designed to produce ultra-low deflection characteristics.”

The EV-250 and EV-350 presses each have a bed and ram length of 3.7 m (146 in) to accommodate the longer tooling requirements. The massive cast iron, low-vibration frame of the EV Press Series includes wide upright openings and the patented Minster Hydraulic Clutch and Brake. “This press is not only rugged, but it’s one of the most technologically advanced machines on the market today,” added Prenger. “The hydrostatic/hydrodynamic gibbing for precision slide guiding is pressure monitored and will automatically shut down if the system detects any issues with the guiding system. IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is a popular concept and we are embracing it with pressure monitoring the slide and real-time monitoring of vibration levels on the bed. This press is a sophisticated solution to a challenging application.”

Other key features include Quick Slide Access, Motorized Slide Adjustment with Hydraulic Locking, and Adjust-In-Motion for superior bottom dead center slide repeatability. Production Management Control is standard with the press to allow integration for a wide variety of ancillary systems.
