AIDA NC1 Single Point Gap Frame Press

Like all AIDA NC-series gap frame presses, the NC1 Single Point Gap Frame Press uses a welded steel frame, cast iron slide, and over-sized cast steel bolsters. This enables the press to deliver angular frame deflection that can be as little as 1/3 of competitive models, ensuring longer die life and higher part quality.

The wet clutch (standard) is immune to heat build up and its detrimental effects on performance that plague air friction clutches. And a wet clutch virtually lasts forever with minimal maintenance and can provide up to four times the single trip cycles per minute of an air friction clutch.

AIDA’s Hydraulic Overload Protection System (HOLP) provides the industry’s fastest response time, adjustable trip level, and an “unstick” switch that frees a slide that is “stuck” on bottom in a matter of seconds to minimize downtime.

The advanced control system brings a level of flexibility unheard of in the category. Add a six-point slide guide system and 25 other features and the result is a gap frame press that dramatically limits factors that can shorten die life.

AIDA’s Best Selling, High Precision, Gap Frame Press The AIDA NC series single and double crank gap frame presses are probably the most imitated stamping presses in production today.

Why?

Because they work hard day in and day out. This is a result of superior engineering and components drawn from our industry-leading PMX straight-side presses, things cosmetic imitations simply lack. It begins with a welded steel frame, cast iron slide, and a cast steel bolster to provide angular deflection which can be as little as 1/3 of competitive models for increased accuracy and die life.

Add HOLP, the worlds’ fastest hydraulic overload protection system, a standard wet clutch, precision cut gears with hardened and ground pinions, motorized slide adjustment, and the result is a press that delivers outstanding performance and unmatched reliability. AIDA NC gap-frame presses routinely perform progressive and transfer press die work normally reserved for straight-side presses, at a substantial savings.

AIDA is the leading servo press manufacturer and was the pioneer of Direct Drive Servo Technology over a decade ago. AIDA was the first press manufacturer to use a direct drive servo system for stamping presses which represents the first fundamental change in the metalforming industry in more than 30 years. The key is the high torque/low RPM servo motors designed and manufactured by AIDA specifically for stamping press applications. Connected directly to the crank, these servo motors, provide the precise accuracy and reliability you expect of AIDA presses. The result is improvement in almost every critical area of press performance. Presses featuring AIDA’s Direct Drive ServoFormer technology, like the DSF-C1 Gap Frame Servo Press, have the same torque and energy characteristics as conventional mechanical presses.

Completely programmable stroke. Unlimited flexibility of part runs. More press for your dollar. And it’s just the beginning.
