Servo Controlled Pilot Release
This patented technology from CHS Automation is the next generation of precision, high-speed press feeding. Servo controlled pilot release is ideal for SERVO and mechanical presses, in which feed timing is limited or critical. The completely programable roll lift eliminates the slow and often inconsistent pneumatic pilot release found in all other roll feeds. Make the move to the APX Series roll feeds to put your press on auto pilot.

To demonstrate the efficiency of the servo driven pilot release, we compared the APX to traditional pneumatic pilot at 30 and 90 SPM with a die pilot degree angle of 135 On – 225 Off. Regardless of the SPM increase with APX at 5 ms and pneumatic at 100 ms, APX performance remains consistent and unmatched in performance.
Our industry has drastically changed over the past few years. This is mostly related to new steels that have been created to help take weight out of automobiles to help increase gas mileage, among other innovations. As a result, knowing the technical terms associated with these advancements has become increasingly difficult.
Here are just a few examples of technical keywords associated with these advancements:
1200 MPa
80 KSI Yield
100,000 PSI
HSLA
AHSS
Aluminum
Servo Press
Pendulum Mode
...and More
With this in mind, it's more difficult than ever to keep up with the physics and design requirements needed to process these types of materials reliably. If the following words are foreign to you, let's talk. We'll gladly help figure out exactly what sort of machinery you require for your job.
