Due to linear motion solutions by Servomech, machine tool manufacturers can reach better efficiency and performance results. The solutions by Bologna company are concrete indeed and also satisfy the severe requirements deriving from the machine tool world. As Valentina Cataldo, Marketing Manager of Servomech, confirmed to us
What are the solutions proposed by Servomech for the machine tool sector?
Among the most suitable products by Servomech Group for the machine tool sector, linear actuators and ball screw jacks stand out, being designed and manufactured to achieve higher-level performances in terms of control, precision and safety. The applications in the machine tool sector can be highly varied, still in the ambit of the linear motion, like the manifold processes of machine tool automation, the automated management of material loading and unloading operations, the management of the automated opening and closing of safety systems for the operator, like for instance protection barriers and ports.
Moreover, Servomech proposes a broad range of state-of-the-art electromechanical linear actuators intended for the replacement of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in the ambit of the new generation of “full electric” machines.
What are the technical peculiarities of Servomech linear actuators, screw jacks and bevel gearboxes intended for this sector?
Made in Servomech products are developed to give a concrete answer to the ever-changing market requirements: more efficiency with low energy consumptions, more control of position, speed and force, exact position repeatability, higher safety and reliability, minor installation and maintenance costs and increased productivity. For this reason, we propose always innovative solutions, such as Servomech ball screw jacks with patented design for applications featuring high speed, high positioning precision and frequent, even continuous, use. These screw jacks, powered by brushless motors, allow implementing manifold-point lifting systems with position control in electric axis, actually replacing the systems with traditional mechanical connections like shafts and joints. Among the primary highlights: the possibility of manufacturing more precise and more flexible systems in speed and positioning performances, able to achieve noteworthy global energy savings and productivity increases of the machine and plant where they are installed. Another interesting novelty for all screw jacks Series MA BS is the possibility of combining the high-performance mechanics by Servomech with the servomotors of the primary brands on trade, actually leaving the utmost freedom to engineers regarding the choice of the motor and of the drive to be used. The new interfaces for brushless servomotors are, like the whole range of Servomech products, manufactured in our production plant at Anzola dell’Emilia (Bologna) and they are available as standard components in stock, to full benefit of quick delivery terms and competitive costs.
Servomech electromechanical cylinders are instead particularly suitable for the replacement of hydraulic cylinders. They allow a better control of the position, of the speed and of the applied force, with the possibility of performing high speeds and loads, always under the precise and accurate position control. Among the primary highlights, it is worth pointing out also the positioning precision (in the order of the hundredth of a millimetre), the high and constant repeatability in time, besides higher safety and reliability (there are no risks caused by high pressures and no oil leaks). These cylinders are available in various assembly configurations to assure a total interchangeability with the existing hydraulic cylinders. Servomech can anyway assist customers also with special executions not included in the catalogue, due to the design and manufacturing fully in-house carried out in its production plant at Anzola dell’Emilia, Bologna.
Do you offer standard solutions or tailored for customers? What kind of technical applicative support do you make available for machine tool manufacturers?
Servomech is characterized by the choice of having always maintained its production in-house, with a remarkable stock of raw material and a broad high-tech machine tool fleet providing executive quality. This results in an extraordinary manufacturing flexibility, with the possibility of customizing products according to customers’ specific requirements, even in case of small-batch executions. Moreover, we are not constrained by relationships with subcontractors for machining processes and consequent delivery and customization criticalities. The technical and applicative support as well is of excellent level and is tailored according to customers’ specific requirements. We have always faced the challenge issued by the global market through customized solutions, innovative products and technical solutions always in the forefront, aimed at the constant improvement of efficiency, safety and performances, with an industrial approach with an inherent “craft” care and attention that is typical of the excellence Made in Italy. To make all that possible, we pay constant attention to innovation, with unceasing investments in advanced machinery and production technologies for the development and upgrade of products. The company constantly invests in the interaction with designers, also through the web, to remove distances and barriers, staking on the establishment of sound relationships with customers. A high-quality technical support is provided after an analysis of the applicative requirements, so assuring the implementation of reliable, competitive and long-lasting applications. Catalogues and manuals are easily accessible directly on our website, through a QR Code that can be directly scanned on the product, offering an instantaneous access to use and maintenance manuals also through smartphone. The website www.servomech.it allows configuring products and downloading 3D models by using a practical configurator.
How is the assistance and after sale service organized?
In our headquarters at Anzola dell’Emilia, the commercial support team and applicative technicians are ready to assist national and international customers in each phase, from the design of new products to the offer and up to the forwarding and the after-sale service. In the Italian market Servomech can rely on a sound territorial presence thanks to two Area Managers and a network of agents. As far as international markets are concerned, we avail ourselves of the support of a net of resellers, our historical partners.
