This is capable of speeds of up to 250 strokes/min. with slides that can be aligned in either radial or linear arrangements. Some of the key features of these manufacturing lines are faster set-up times; suitability for small batch quantities; independently-driven servo slides and a servo stamping press.
“We have made great inroads into Europe particularly in the automobile, electrical and general engineering industry sectors,” added YSM. “We have also successfully integrated threading, welding, assembly and part inspection into complete ‘In-line solutions’ on our manufacturing lines. The electric vehicle industry and renewable energy are two areas where we have seen rapid growth, mainly due to special grants given by governments to this sector. This, in turn, has helped us to develop automated production lines to support manufacturing of the various components required.”
YSM has also delivered total turnkey solutions for various industries, which involve the integration of several operations that were hitherto offline. Some examples are given below:
• Electrical – Integration of operations such as welding, tapping and riveting into independent manufacturing cells for components used in circuit breakers.
• Medical – YSM stamping and bending machines are used in the manufacture of the ‘self-activating safety clips’ made out of material as thin as 0.1mm spring steel strip which require precise handling and accuracy on the finished component. These medical components are used to reduce the risk of infection when handling needles. Tools have been integrated with simple and quick-change inserts needed to accommodate a range of sizes to manufacture this product.
“The benefits, as seen by our partners, include increased productivity; reduced production costs; improved quality of products and greater stability of processes,” concluded YSM.
