High-speed punch presses and NC feeding systems are key equipment in modern precision manufacturing, playing a crucial role in industries such as metalworking, electronic components, and automotive parts. The system primarily consists of core components including a high-speed punching machine, precision feeding mechanism, CNC system, and automatic material collection device. Its working principle involves the NC feeding mechanism accurately transporting metal coil material to the punching station, where the high-speed punch press performs precision stamping, and the finished products are then output via the automated collection system.

With the rapid development of industries such as 5G communications, new energy vehicles, and consumer electronics, market demand for precision metal components continues to grow, while higher requirements are placed on product accuracy and production efficiency. Traditional mechanical stamping equipment struggles to meet the needs of modern manufacturing in terms of machining accuracy (typically ±0.1mm), production speed (200-300 strokes per minute), and automation levels. Particularly in high-end applications such as high-precision connectors and new energy battery structural components, machining accuracy of ±0.01mm and production speeds exceeding 600 strokes per minute have become basic requirements.

High-speed punch presses and NC feeding systems employ advanced servo direct-drive technology and CNC systems, achieving three major technological breakthroughs: First, through high-rigidity frame design and precision guiding mechanisms, dynamic machining accuracy is improved to ±0.01mm. Second, the use of servo motor direct drive enables maximum punching speeds of up to 800 strokes per minute, increasing production efficiency by more than three times. Third, the integration of intelligent control systems enables automatic feeding, precise positioning, and self-diagnosis of faults, significantly reducing manual intervention. Additionally, the system can be equipped with optional modules such as vision inspection and automatic scrap sorting to meet diverse customer needs.

This equipment is widely used in several critical fields: In the electronics industry, it produces precision components such as 5G communication connectors and smartphone metal parts. In the new energy sector, it manufactures key components like battery electrodes and motor cores. In the automotive industry, it processes engine parts and safety system components. With its high precision, efficiency, stability, and user-friendly operation, high-speed punch presses and NC feeding systems are becoming core equipment driving the advancement of precision manufacturing, providing essential support for high-quality industrial development.

At the hardware architecture and control system level, this equipment adopts the SC3 controller as its core hub, equipped with the EtherCAT high-speed industrial Ethernet communication protocol, establishing a stable and reliable control network to achieve precise driving of two bus servos. This architectural design not only ensures millisecond-level synchronization of inter-axis motion but also eliminates network transmission delays through distributed clock technology, maintaining stable and smooth operation even under complex and variable working conditions.

The human-machine interface system utilizes the P5B touchscreen, featuring an intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface that allows comprehensive and fine-tuned adjustment of equipment operating parameters. Whether setting the feed length, adjusting the operating speed, or calibrating the cutting timing, users can perform "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" real-time modifications via the touchscreen. This significantly enhances operational convenience and process flexibility while drastically reducing production preparation time.

The built-in closed-loop frequency converter employs advanced vector control algorithms and real-time feedback to dynamically optimize motor speed and torque. Working in deep collaboration with the servo system, it utilizes micron-level position compensation and dynamic inertia matching technology to greatly improve the positioning accuracy of the feeding system. Even during high-speed operation, it ensures efficient and precise feeding and cutting of electronic sheet materials and IC components, providing solid and reliable technical support for the electronics manufacturing industry.
