Part 3 of 3: Heavy-duty electric actuation — on large-scale gantries

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

We’ve outlined how screw-based electric actuation increasingly finds use in today’s presses and other machine tools. Other heavy-duty machinery also makes copious use of this and other types of electric actuation. Lisa Eitel · Executive editor Heavy-duty machine tools create uniquely challenging conditions for screw-based electric actuation — and yet the benefits of such actuation […]
