NCFT Type 2157A Series precision electromechanical NC joining modules

The North American debut of the NCFT Type 2157A series offers a precision electromechanical servo press family with high-reliability force displacement monitoring within assembly, joining, and other single-channel control applications. The low-maintenance design of the Kistler NCFT Type 2157A series incorporates an integral piezoelectric dual range tension/compression force sensor and charge amplifier in a robust housing, allowing modules to offer high-velocity travel, precision joining, and process monitoring in ranges of 0.25 kN to 1 kN with practical repeatability of <0.005 mm. Modules offer active compensation of process compression for exact positioning while providing for up to 15x overload capability. They can be installed vertically or horizontally via wall or flange mount. An absolute encoder is integrated into the electrically commutated AC servo drive motor for precise positioning, eliminating the need for reference point determination. The servo controller provides a constant speed independent of load. Standard functions like block, position and force feedback controlled pressing and intermediate positioning are fully supported. The NCFT Type 2157A series is ideal for assembly and joining tasks, manual and automated, in production plants and manual workspaces.
