Metal forming machines need to ensure high power, high speed and precision at the same time, therefore, hydraulic technology plays an important role. As one of the largest end markets, the automotive industry is developing components with increasingly complex shapes. This requires the perfect coordination of the internal components, modules and systems of the metal forming machine to deliver flawless performance.

The press requires a control scheme that is simple and easy to operate and easy to install, but at the same time controls the various complex technologies used by the equipment. We separate the drive technology from the control level: Motion control from a single to an almost infinite number of hydraulic and electric drive axes is possible, and the characteristics of fluid technology are integrated into the control software. In the system, we only use open interfaces and international programming standards. They can be adapted to different automation environments, thus facilitating operation.

At the same time, standardized components simplify the complexity of manufacturing and installation, thereby reducing maintenance and repair costs. Common engineering tools also make it easy to implement individual solutions. In today's context of ever-shorter project times and the ever-increasing availability requirements of equipment, this can significantly increase the user's operational flexibility.

One of the distinguishing features of metal forming technology is the high acceleration and braking forces – therefore, the energy saving potential of metal forming machines is enormous, and the greater the installed capacity, the greater the energy savings. Recovering the energy consumed in the swing process and using intelligent energy control can greatly improve energy efficiency. The variable speed pump drive system and idling stop system developed by cypag can achieve this goal.
