Recap of the July 2022 PMA Technical Webinar with René Zwahlen--president of Sangiacomo Presses Americas and Director of Operations for Bruderer Machinery, Inc.
In his presentation, Zwhalen goes over the key aspects of high-speed stamping presses that are generally overlooked or not well understood. High-speed stamping presses can operate at 2000 strokes/min. and more. At these production speeds, dynamic forces and thermal influences dramatically affect the stamping process. He takes listeners on a journey to understand the mechanisms to counteract these influences and explain why these types of presses are more precise than conventional stamping presses.
