A press machine for forming a part comprises a planetary gear system, a first motor, a second motor, a linear actuator, and a press ram that holds a tool. The planetary gear system includes a ring gear, a sun gear, and a plurality of planet gears between the sun gear and the ring gear. The planetary gear system has an output shaft that is coupled to the linear actuator. The first motor is coupled to the planetary gear system for producing a high-speed condition on the linear actuator and the press ram. A second motor is coupled to the planetary gear system for producing a high-torque condition on the linear actuator and a corresponding high-force condition the press ram. The press ram forms the part with the tool during the high-force condition.

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.

Systems, devices, and methods for fabricating finished parts include a system that includes a plurality of die assemblies located at a plurality of respective locations, each die assembly being configured to fabricate a respective finished part. The system further includes a movable gantry press and a robot, each configured to move between the plurality of respective locations. The system further includes a controller configured to receive a input to fabricate a finished part and identify a die assembly of the plurality of die assemblies. The controller is further configured to instruct the movable gantry press and the robot to move to the location of the die assembly. The controller is further configured to instruct the robot to load a blank into the die assembly, and instruct the movable gantry press to operate the die assembly to fabricate the finished part.

A press assembly includes an elongated guide, and a ram that is at least partially mounted to the elongated guide and axially movable relative to the elongated guide. A fabricating tool is disposed at an outboard end portion of the ram. The ram including an internal chamber. A cylinder is disposed within an internal chamber of the ram and is secured to the ram such that the cylinder is fixed relative to the ram axially and rotationally so that the cylinder and ram move in unison. A spindle having a driving end region and a driven end region opposite the driving end region is disposed at least partially within a cylindrical bore of the cylinder. A motor is adapted to rotate the driving end region of the spindle to effect an axial displacement of the cylinder and the ram.
