Why Servo Press Machines Are Shaping the Future of Precision Metal Forming

Jul. 01, 2025

Introduction: The Rise of Intelligent Metal Forming


In today’s fast-evolving manufacturing landscape, industries such as electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and clean energy demand components with tighter tolerances, complex geometries, and minimal material waste. Traditional mechanical presses are increasingly unable to meet these stringent requirements.


Enter the servo press machine — a new-generation solution that combines mechanical strength with software-driven precision. Powered by programmable servo motors, these presses are transforming how manufacturers approach precision metal forming. Founded in May 2021 in Suzhou Industrial Park, S‑T Intelligence has rapidly emerged—backed by government initiatives—as a key intelligent equipment provider. Specializing in servo-driven stamping and forging presses, the company provides full-stack solutions including press machines, servo motors & drives, control systems, and automation.


What Is a Servo Press Machine?


A servo press is a metal forming machine that uses a servo motor to control the ram motion rather than a flywheel or clutch. This allows manufacturers to program custom stroke profiles, variable slide speeds, and dwell times at any point in the stroke — unlocking new levels of control and efficiency.


Key Features:

Servo motor with real-time motion control

Flexible stroke programming

Energy-efficient operation

High repeatability and accuracy

Lower noise and maintenance cost


Top 5 Advantages of Servo Presses Over Traditional Mechanical Presses


  1. Precision & Repeatability: Ideal for high-precision tasks such as battery cover stamping, electronic shielding parts, or medical components.

  2. Customizable Stroke Profiles: Enables slow approach speeds for delicate materials or high-speed cycles for deep drawing — all programmable for each job.

  3. Energy Efficiency: Servo presses consume less power compared to hydraulic or mechanical counterparts due to on-demand motion control. (The Difference Between a Servo-Hydraulic Press and Ordinary Hydraulic Press)

  4. Longer Tooling Life: Reduced impact and optimized slide motion lead to less tool wear, lowering long-term production costs.

  5. Cleaner Production: No hydraulic fluid, less lubrication, and quieter operation — perfect for cleanroom environments or green manufacturing standards.


What Makes S‑T Intelligence’s Servo Press Unique?


Independent IP & R&D: Strong in-house R&D team (including PhDs and senior engineers) with over 30 patents and IP rights on core servo transmission components

Servo-Flywheel-Free Precision: Using high-torque AC servo motors in place of flywheels avoids clutch-brake systems—resulting in ultra-low noise, low maintenance, and micron-level control over ram stroke and force

Energy-Efficient & Clean: Energy is only used during forming—with efficient recovery systems, clean operation, and up to 90% lower CO₂ emissions versus hydraulics

Custom Motion Profiles & Die Protection: Full programmability of stroke, speed, dwell times and closed-loop feedback ensure consistent quality, less die wear, and reduced scrap—ideal for delicate or complex forming processes


Applications in High-Value Industries


Servo presses are widely adopted across:

New Energy Vehicles (NEV): Forming aluminum and copper components for battery enclosures, motor housings, and inverter heat sinks.

Consumer Electronics: Stamping high-precision frames, shielding covers, and connectors with minimal burrs and perfect flatness.

Hydrogen Energy: Coining and forming of metal bipolar plates for fuel cells — demanding extreme flatness and air-tight sealing.

Home Appliances & Precision Devices: Ideal for progressive die and transfer die stamping of decorative and structural metal parts.


Choosing the Right Servo Press for Your Operation


When selecting a servo press, consider the following:

Tonnage & Slide Capacity: Based on your material thickness and forming complexity

Drive Type: Link-motion vs straight-motion

Control System: Look for an intuitive HMI and flexible programming

Frame Structure: C-frame, H-frame, or straight-side for rigidity

Integration: Compatibility with automation systems, feeders, and die protection
