An electric cylinder system includes: a rod; a ball screw mechanism; a nut connected to the rod; a cylindrical body including a contact portion, the contact portion configured to be abutting the nut making the linear motion, the cylindrical body configured to support the ball screw mechanism in such a manner that the ball screw mechanism is displaceable in the axis direction of the ball screw; a strain detector fixed to the cylindrical body and configured to detect a value corresponding to a displacement of the ball screw mechanism; and a control section configured to make the ball screw mechanism be displaced by making the nut abut against the contact portion, and configured to detect an abnormality of the strain detector based on the value detected by the strain detector according to the displacement of the ball screw mechanism.

A method for forming a product of compressible material includes preparing compressible material, assembling a molding fixture, filling the compressible material into a filling tube of the molding fixture, clamping the filling tube by a clamping mechanism of the molding fixture, moving an adjusting screw of the molding fixture downward in the filling tube to compress the compressible material, delivering the molding fixture to a heating module to perform a heating process so that the compressible material s heated and melted, delivering the molding fixture to a cooling module to perform a cooling process so that the compressible material is cooled and solidified to form a product, stripping the molding fixture from the product, and finishing and taking out the product of the compressible material.

A press including a drive train having a motor and a press ram, and a housing having a first base plate, a second base plate and at least three columns arranged therebetween. The columns connect the two base plates to one another and keep them spaced apart. A first opening is arranged in the first base plate and a second opening is arranged in the second base plate. At least a part of the motor is arranged on a first side of the first base plate facing away from the columns and at least a part of the press ram is arranged on a second side of the second base plate facing away from the columns. The motor and the press ram are interconnected through the first and second openings.

An insert press that has a threaded shaft with a distal end is disclosed. An insert driver is disposed at the distal end of the threaded shaft. The insert press also includes a press housing that provides a bore through which the threaded shaft extends. The bore is transformable from a first condition in which the threaded shaft is threadably translatable in the bore to a second condition in which the threaded shaft is non-threadably translatable in the bore.

A drive unit drives a slide which vertically reciprocates for pressing the workpiece. A detection unit detects positional information about the slide. A speed control unit controls the speed of the slide by the drive unit, based on motion information defining operation of the slide. A stoppage determination calculation unit sets a deceleration start point at which deceleration of the slide is to be started, based on the motion information and a set point at which the slide is to be forced to stop. A speed control unit determines whether an abnormality signal regarding transportation of the workpiece is input, when the slide reaches the deceleration start point based on the positional information about the slide detected by the detection unit. The speed control unit performs deceleration control for the slide so that the slide is stopped at the set point, when determining that the abnormality signal is input.

A press machine includes a frame, a press shaft, a lower mold support rotatably attached to the frame about a first axis line and configured to support a lower mold, a lower mold support rotating device configured to rotate the lower mold support about the first axis line, a scrap shooter configured to receive a scrap falling from the lower mold, and a link member one end part of which is rotatably coupled to the lower mold support about a second axis line, Wherein the scrap shooter has one end side rotatably coupled to the other end part of the link member about a third axis line, and has the other end side rotatably supported by the frame or another support member about a fourth axis line.

A press machine is provided. Two vertical hydraulic cylinders are arranged on an upper beam plate of a press machine body, and the two hydraulic cylinders correspond to workbenches at corresponding positions in a one-to-one correspondence, constituting left and right working units, and a common mechanical drive unit and a common hydraulic drive unit are set for the left and right working units. The mechanical driving unit is composed of a driving motor through an electromagnetic clutch, an electromagnetic brake and lead screw nut driving mechanism driven by a gear pair. According to the load profiles during the working process of hydraulic press machine, the mechanical driving unit or the hydraulic driving unit are selected to provide energy for the two working units. A control method for the press machine, a press machine execution system and a control method for the press machine execution system are further involved.
