Festo modular servo press kit YJKP provides users with an excellent price/performance ratio for extremely precise press-fitting systems with its high level of repetition accuracy. Simple, cost-effective and quick to install.

Pre-assembled system kit
The modular servo press kit YJKP consists of modular operating software and harmonized standard Festo components. With electric spindle drive, motor, motor controller, force sensor and control system, users have everything needed for electric press-fitting applications up to 17 kN. All users have to do is integrate it into their press-fitting application.

Pre-installed software
The pre-installed operating software is ready to use straight away and users don’t need to be programming experts to parameterize it, it’s that easy and intuitive. The modular software in CODESYS, featuring application-specific functions, can be used on a PC, iPad or other types of human-machine interface and is compatible with all kinds of platforms. The controller CECC-X with OPC-UA interface makes the system ready for Industry 4.0.

Flexible
With the YJKP, it is easy to monitor press-fitting applications and lots of other parameters in real time. For example, force, displacement, torque and angle can be monitored during joining, press-fitting, swiveling and rotation processes.
