Advantages
Advantages?
Yes, of course!
The particular advantages of an
object are not always visible at
first sight. This applies to
GECHTER presses and special
machines as well. It is
worthwhile taking a closer look

Technical Characteristics
of the GECHTER Presses

This label indicates


GECHTER presses with
particularly evident
differences in quality.

Commercial production requires


reliable and robust machines that
have been optimized for the task
they have to perform. Our experts
will accept no compromise in terms
of material selection and production
accuracy in mechanical engineering.
The benefits mentioned on this page
are a further proof of our practiceoriented love of detail. In combination with the optional accessories
and tools, GECHTER presses guarantee you a successful production. To
make things perfect, we also provide
the corresponding manuals and technical documentation.

Pay attention to this label in the catalog!

No-play adjustable inverted


V guide
Only GECHTER presses are
equipped with a no-play adjustable
inverted V guide from the smallest
class upwards.

Lateral and twisting forces are


effortlessly absorbed. This allows
the use of cutting, embossing,
and bending tools without a punch
guide.

The height positioning for tools


with different fitting dimensions
has a measuring device for precise adjustment. The press head
is guided by a flat guide when it is
adjusted (ISO fit H7/f7). The clamping is perfomed by means of several
hexagonal bolts across the complete
press body.

Tool holder
The clamping piece at the ram is
removable from the front (type
5 HKPV and higher) and facilitates
the clamping and unclamping of
the tool. It creates a strong positive
holding force without damaging the
tools clamping pivot.

6|

Technical Characteristics

Clamping surface
Large table clamping surface
with T-slots.

Pull lever
The pull lever can be
repositioned by 360
and can thus be adjusted for right- or lefthanded operators

The customized
GECHTER press for
your individual
applications

Extended daylight and throat


All GECHTER presses from 4 kN to 60 kN with inverted V guide come with three
different stand options

GECHTER Crimp Press


INFO

CR10/H50

The muscles and sinews of the hands and arms are


not designed for frequent, repeated strain. Avoid
production losses, schedule difficulties and quality
deterioration.
Connective tissue
It can be irritated or inflamed. One reason could be a
strained wrist. In the majority of cases, the only remedy is
to rest it for a good period of time.
Forearm muscles
Muscles that are frequently overstrained risk being damaged
Possible consequences: weak, prickling, and aching hands.

A tendosynovitis is painful and


needs a long time to heal.
It is caused by overstraining the wrists.
Monotonous and overstraining
movements can also cause an inflammation

Press force monitoring


Feel the Performance
The GECHTER press force monitoring system can be integrated, at minimal cost, into all
GECHTER presses. Ask us about force sensors in adapter design.
MS00
Press force monitoring system
Force-displacement measurement
system
The newly-developed MS00 system
can be used with all manual and
pneumatic GECHTER presses, and is,
of course, also compatible with all
third-party manual toggle presses
generally available on the market.
The force-displacement
measuring system MS00
Press-inserting and assembling
processes do not always require
a graphic display of the forcedisplacement diagram. To perform
this task, we offer the MS00 forcedisplacement measuring system. There
can be connected to this measuring
system a force sensor and, as an
option, a displacement sensor. An
upper and lower threshold can be set
for both force and displacement, so
that the force-displacement diagram
measured must end within the frame
defined by these thresholds. If this
condition is fulfilled, the workpiece is
OK, which is indicated by a green
LED. A part that is not OK is indicated
by a red LED and a buzzer and must
be acknowledged via keystroke.
These signals can also be tapped

on a socket at the device. External


acknowledgment is also possible.
The values as measured are displayed
on a two-line LCD. The parameters
required for the measurement (e.g.
calibration values for the sensors, or
the thresholds mentioned above) can
be set via a simple menu. Counters for
good/bad/total parts are integrated into
the device. A press-motion control for
manual toggle presses can be activated
via the MS00 outputs. Use the MS00
measuring results to control, so as to
achieve maximum efficiency, the later
sequence of press-motions carried out
by the operating personnel.
Preconditions:
If the measuring results are correct,
the press-motion sequence must not
be interfered with.
If the measuring results are incorrect,
the press-motion sequence must
be interrupted and measures must
be taken to ensure that the operator
spots bad parts and removes them
from the manufacturing process.
PC software is available for set-up. It
allows the transfer of parameters from
or to the measuring system, as well as
the display of the force-displacement
diagram currently being measured
and the archiving of already-measured
diagrams. The use of the USB interface
makes it possible to operate several
measuring devices from the same PC.

The Advantages
Force sensors are overload-protected
Two-line LCD display, function-keys
and LEDs
Simple operation and parametrization
via function-keys and menu
Control- and status-signals accessible
externally
Reliable detection and separation of
good and bad parts (Poka Yoke)
Counter for good/bad/total parts
Audible signal in case of error
messages
Acknowledgment function possible
via key-switch
USB interface: several devices can be
connected to one PC
PC software for graphic display in real
time ; values and graphics can be
saved
The press-motion control of GECHTER
manual toggle presses can also be
activated via an external SPS
Attractive price

These two graphics are only an example


of the many options available to make
your work more effective. If you are
curious, please contact us for more
information. It will pay off.

Definable force
shut-off mechanism
NEW

Linkage with the MS00 press force monitoring system

Rapid stroke and power stroke 2-stage speed-regulation A new valve technology now makes it
possible for us to have (in the case of our pneumatic-aided manual toggle presses) the power stroke and (in the case of our linearacting presses) both the feed stroke and the power stroke run at different speeds. The length of the feed stroke is, in the case of the
linear-acting presses, adjustable. The advantage is that the pressing process for sensitive components can now, thanks to the
linkage with the press force monitoring system and the definable force shut-off mechanism, be designed in such a way that the
destruction of these components can be prevented.

By the establishing of a force threshold it is signalled to the


press that:
the force threshold must be reached (the press shuts
down when threshold is reached)

Reproducibility of the results


By setting the press during the set-up process, the degree
of deviation is determined and stored within the monitoring
system. This means that the process can always be
repeated with extreme exactness. (< 3% deviation,
depending on stroke-speed)

SpiceFlex modular offers you, thanks to its expansion modules, the possibility of doing justice to all
these new requirements.
Standard Scope Press Control System
SpiceFlex Basic:
Two-handed operation Triggering must be
activated within 0.5 sec.
Set-up operation after triggering, the ram
descends to Bottom Dead Centre and remains
there; when activated again, the ram rises to its
end-position at Top Dead Centre and remains
there.
Touch display divided structural levels for
setting of press, with malfunction signal
displayed in clear text
Counter function
Adjustable stopping-time for remaining at rest
position
Retrieval of external start-release
These expansion levels can also be selected:
Spice Flex safety
for light curtain or safety-door operation the
press is released for activation only after the

retrieval of safety-related
information (e.g. safety-door
closed etc.). This expansion
also places the automatic
continuous stroke function at
your disposal. Two-handed triggering is not required. Triggering can be effected either by foot switch or by Nagara
switch.
Spice Flex MS
The control system interacts with the force-displacement measurement system (optional). In the case of
a not OK part, production is halted. The error must
be documented.
Spice Flex advanced
The control system can be expanded to include
additional inputs and outputs, so that your handling
devices or sensors etc. interact with the control
system and can themselves be controlled. There
can also be implemented, at this expansion level,
a change in the work-sequence cycle.
Spice FlexPro
Here you have the possibility of controlling also a
rotary table or sliding table.
The expansion levels are combinable, or extensible in
modular form.
Programming occurs specifically for the desired worksequence of the unit.

ES06
This is a simple two-hand safety control and the
only operating mode that it allows is two-hand
operation. This means that the press only moves
downwards as long as both two-hand switches
are pushed simultaneously (0.5 sec.). As soon
as one of the two-hand switches is released, the
press immediately moves upwards again. The
control is operational immediately after connecting to the operating voltage (110 - 230 V AC)
and the air supply (6 bar).

GECHTER MTM Presses


With MTM you will always attain the
optimum as regards the success factors:
cost, time and quality.
With MTM, the workspace is organized ergo-

nomically around the worker.


Our presses are, due to their slim form and design, ideal for integration in such a workspace.
We have developed a new protective housing
which does justice to MTM technology from
every viewpoint.
The slim design allows ideal use of the space
around the press.

Ideal for line-back feed or similar methods.


The design fits all LP presses.
True to our motto: Simply produce the best
In productive operation the press is activated
by means of the Nagara switch (one-handed
triggering).
For set-up, a two-handed safety triggering
mechanism is also integrated; this can be
removed during productive operation.

GECHTER Presses with Electro-Pneumatic Rotary


Indexing Tables
The GECHTER electropneumatic rotary
indexing table 340 and 600 mm.
The rotary indexing table can be quickly and
easily adjusted for segmentations of 4, 6, 8, 12
and 24.
It can be quickly attached to and removed from
all machines with SEM control by means of a
pneumatic and an electrical plug-in connection
and four mounting screws.
Thanks to the quickly exchangeable table,
various kinds of work can be carried out with
the rotary indexing table at short retooling
times.
A smooth movement of the plate is ensured
by self-regulating oil shock absorbers in the
end position.
The speed regulation takes place directly at
the cylinder of the rotary indexing table.
The cycle time of the rotary indexing table can
be delayed freely from 0 to 20 seconds.
The high indexing accuracy is 0.02 mm at
the reference diameter.
The press force (up to 110 kN) is absorbed by
the anvil at the bottom.
Very low height of the rotary ndexing table at
the press.
Due to a positive locking drive, a mispositioning of the rotary indexing table is not possible.
The lock protection prevents a mispositioning
of the table in emergency stop situations.

Precision fine adjustment type PFE


Adjustment range: 3 mm.
The PFE (precision fine adjustment) is
fitted in a space-saving way between
the cylinder and the ram or between
the joint and the ram in the press head.
Thus the overall space requirement of
the press remains the same. The advantages of the inverted V guide and the

removable clamping piece at the press


ram remain unchanged.
If precise bending, embossing, riveting
and cutting operations are required, the
PFE ensures the accurate and smooth
depth adjustment of the clamped tool.
Adjustment is carried out with the
chuck adjustment via a fine thread spindle. The scale of the chuck adjustment
consists of 75 marks, each one marking
a change of 0.02 mm. The adjustment
can be locked with a threaded pin.

Pressing Process Monitoring with Manual Toggle Presses


Process and quality monitoring of safety-relevant components, control of the
operators motion sequence with utmost efficiency
Return stroke blocking mechanism for manual toggle press
type 2 to 4 kN HZP, type 2.5 HKPV to 8/16 HKPV
If precise embossing, bending,
riveting, and cutting operations are
required, the return stroke blocking
mechanism ensures that the press
ram reaches exactly the bottom
dead center.
The return stroke blocking mechanism is activated when the ram has
reached a position of approx. 8 mm
over the bottom dead center.

All PTE components are surfacehardened.
Adjustment is carried out via a fine
thread spindle by twisting the chuck
adjustment. Turning the chuck adjustment by one mark will result in a
change of 0.02 mm.

If precise embossing, bending and


riveting operations are required, the
PTE (precision depth adjustment)
guarantees the precise depth adjustment of the clamped tool.
The PTE has two interior hardened
guides, which prevent the clamped
tool from disadjustment.
If required, the PTE can be clamped
and unclamped like a tool.
If the PTE is adjusted, the tools position remains the same, except for its
depth adjustment.
Due to its compact design, the PTEs
adjustment mechanism, fine thread
spindle, and precise guides are safe
from damage and fouling.
Owing to the PTEs precise and
stable guiding, accurate work is also

After the working stroke has been


completed, a return stroke of only
approx. 18 mm - corresponding to a
lever return stroke of approx. 60 - is
required to carry out the next working stroke.
The blocking mechanism can simply
be latched or unlatched if required.
Subsequent installation is not a
problem.

Special designs of press frames
If the height or the radius of the
standard press frame is not sufficient
for your needs, there are also many
other possibilities here.
Protective housing and light curtain
If you need to solve any special safety
problem, there is certainly a solution to it via one of several types of
protective housing or light barrier.
