Power, Dynamics and Precision

Along with electric and pneumatic solutions, hydraulic drive technology traditionally has a permanent place in cutting machine tools. The rapid advance of microelectronics now means that electro hydraulic systems operate not only powerfully and dynamically but also with great sensitivity and precision.

These properties come together in position and pressure controlled feed drives. Digital control technology additionally facilitates direct integration in modern control architectures and hence flexible data transfer and a variety of opportunities for diagnosis.

In the construction of jigs & fixtures, hydraulic clamping has become indispensable, as its high power density is surpassed by no other drive form. This creates ideal conditions for solving design related space problems. If masses have to be moved vertically or obliquely, hydraulics can be used for compensating weight. Consequently, electric drives can be given more compact and energy conserving designs.
