Transfer is not transfer: Why the coupling determines output and robustness

In practice, we see two main worlds – and both have clear use cases:

1) Mechanically coupled transfer (on the main drive)

Examples: Trailing finger or rail-to-rail transfer with closing axis

• deterministic synchronicity between press and transfer
• High robustness for series processes
• Ideal if the goal is maximum repeatability and stable timing

2) Servo transfer (for complex motion sequences)

• Freely programmable travel profiles
• Optimizable for demanding geometries, sensitive surfaces, difficult transfers
• Particularly interesting if process windows are to be “opened” via movement

What is important is that the decisive factor is not “servo or mechanics” – but the right system design for the component, material, tool and quality target.

Even the best transfer concept loses money if it comes to a standstill in reality.
