Energy efficiency and cost savings with electromechanical joining systems

Energy efficiency and cost savings with electromechanical joining systems

As part of a commissioned study by Kistler, researchers at Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences investigated the energy efficiency of three joining processes with different drive technologies - electromechanical joining systems as well as hydraulic and pneumatic ones. The results show that the electromechanical variant is the most efficient in terms of joining work alone, ie the joining stroke.
