World-first press system from AP&T gives Grundfos extreme positional accuracy and energy savings monitored in real-time AP&T 全球首创压力机系统为格兰富实现极致定位精度与实时能耗监控

Future-proof press solution developed in technical partnership

技术合作开发面向未来的冲压解决方案

Grundfos has taken a major technological leap with its new servo press from AP&T. The press combines extreme precision, user-friendliness, and optimal cybersecurity, while energy consumption per stroke has been reduced by up to 85 percent.

格兰富通过采用 AP&T 新型伺服压力机实现了重大技术突破。该压力机集极致精度、用户友好性和最优网络安全于一体，同时单次冲压能耗降低了高达 85%。

Energy efficiency, high repeatability, and free programmability were among the principal requirements when Grundfos was looking to modernize a central part of its production of metal components for its pumps. The solution came through close collaboration with AP&T, resulting in the joint development of a world-first press system that is now in operation in Bjerringbro, Denmark.

当格兰富寻求对其泵用金属部件生产的核心部分进行现代化升级时 ，能源效率、高重复性与自由编程能力是他们的主要需求。通过与 AP&T 的紧密合作，双方共同开发了全球首创的压力机系统，该系统现已在丹麦的 Bjerringbro 投入使用。

– As far as we know, there is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. The press is fully programmable, can control the respective motor and pump for each cylinder and has amazing precision due to its ability to synchronize 4,000 times per second. We ourselves could hardly believe the numbers when we first looked at the metrics, says Peter Karlsson, Key Account and Area Sales Manager at AP&T.

“据我们所知，这是全球独一无二的系统。该压力机全自由编程，能独立控制各液压缸的电机与泵，凭借每秒4000次的同步能力实现惊人精度。初次看到性能指标时，这些数据连我们自己都难以置信。”AP&T 大客户及区域销售经理 Peter Karlsson 表示。

Grundfos Project Manager Peter Lund Pedersen describes the initiative as an important strategic step in the company's sustainability work.

格兰富项目经理 Peter Lund Pedersen 称这一举措是公司可持续发展工作中的重要战略步骤。

– Our goal was to future-proof cold flow forming with a stable and energy-efficient solution. “We initially considered a control system overhaul, but when we saw the potential energy savings and process benefits of a brand new servo press from AP&T, the decision was easy,” he says.

“我们的目标是通过稳定高效的解决方案实现面向未来的冷态流动成形。起初我们考虑对控制系统进行改造，但当我们看到 AP&T 新款伺服压力机在节能和工艺方面的巨大潜力时，这个决定就变得很简单了。”他说道。

Peter Lund Pedersen from Grundfos and Peter Karlsson from AP&T celebrate the installation of a one-of-a-kind servo press system they developed jointly. The system features freely programmable controls, real-time energy consumption monitoring, and up to 85% reduction in energy consumption per stroke.

格兰富的 Peter Lund Pederse 与 AP&T 的 Peter Karlsson 庆祝他们共同研发的独一无二的伺服压力机系统完成安装。该系统具备可自由编程的控制、实时能耗监测以及每冲程可降低高达 85%能耗这三大核心特性

50 years of combined experience in technological development

半个世纪技术研发的深厚积淀

AP&T and Grundfos' long-standing relationship has played a crucial role in the development. The collaboration began back in the 1970s and has led to several technical innovations – some of which are the only of their kind.

AP&T与格兰富的长期合作关系对本次开发至关重要。双方合作始于1970年代，期间促成了多项技术创新——其中部分技术属于行业独家。

– Grundfos is a demanding customer – in the best possible way! Over the years, their needs have helped us develop solutions that have then found applications in other industries. Our collaboration has been a driving force in our technological development, to put it simply, says Peter Karlsson at AP&T.

“格兰富是以最高标准要求自己的客户！多年来，他们的需求帮助我们开发出应用于多个行业的解决方案。简而言之，这种合作一直是我们技术发展的驱动力。”AP&T 的 Peter Karlsson 如是说。

Grundfos is also quick to emphasize the importance of mutual understanding.

格兰富公司也特别强调了相互理解的重要性。

– What makes our partnership so successful is the shared willingness to test new methods and our open dialogue. We maintain a good and open dialogue and have always had a strong consensus on the development of new production technologies, says Peter Lund Pedersen.

“我们合作如此成功的原因在于双方都愿意尝试新方法，并畅所欲言。我们一直保持着良好而开放的对话，并在新生产技术的发展上始终有着强烈的共识。 ”Peter Lund Pedersen 补充道。

Energy savings visualized in real time

实时可视化的节能成效

The new servo press is integrated into an automated line with two other machines from AP&T. All are connected to a visualization system that shows energy consumption in real time, both machine by machine and for the entire process.

新伺服压力机与另外两台 AP&T 设备共同集成在一条自动化生产线上。所有设备均接入可视化系统，可实时显示每台设备及整个过程的能耗情况。

– This new servo press consumes significantly less energy compared to the older machines. The new machine shows a clear 10-fold gain in efficiency over the old ones. "It makes it very clear that these are true energy savings on a large scale," says Peter Karlsson at AP&T.

“新伺服压力机能耗较旧设备显著降低，能效提升高达十倍。这清楚地表明，这些是大规模节能的真实效果。”AP&T 的 Peter Karlsson 表示。

Grundfos itself has supplemented the line with an external screen that displays the energy data directly in production.

格兰富自己还在生产线上增设了一个外部显示屏，直接显示能源数据。

– Visualization has taken on an important function in our work. We use it to quickly detect deviations and drive improvements. It delivers a strong visual impact, especially compared to the older presses. We have an internal Green Team that actively works to identify energy savings, says Peter Lund Pedersen.

“可视化在我们的工作中发挥了重要作用。我们用它来快速检测偏差并推动改进。与旧压力机相比，它提供了强烈的视觉冲击力。我们有一个内部的‘绿色团队’正积极致力于寻找节能措施。”Peter Lund Pedersen 说道。

Operators can monitor energy consumption in real time on the large screen, both for the new servo press and for older machines.
操作人员可以在大屏幕上实时监控新伺服压力机和旧设备的能耗情况

Programming freedom and nearly silent operation

自由编程和近乎无声的操作

Another key feature of the press is the freely programmable operator interface, where operators can control and adapt pressures, sequences, and cycles themselves, without the need for external programming.

该压机的另一个关键特性是可自由编程的操作界面，操作人员可以在不需要外部编程的情况下自行控制和调整压力参数、动作和节拍。

– We have never seen such a flexible solution for cold flow forming anywhere in the world. It saves an enormous amount of time and boosts production capacity, says Peter Karlsson at AP&T.

“我们在全球范围内从未见过如此灵活的冷态流动成形解决方案。它极大地节省了时间并提高产能。”AP&T 的 Peter Karlsson 评价道。

– For our production, free programmability is crucial. It gives operators control, enabling prompt reaction to production changes, says Peter Lund Pedersen at Grundfos.

“对于我们的生产来说，自由编程至关重要。它赋予操作人员控制权，使其能够对生产变化迅速反应。”格兰富的 Peter Lund Pedersen 强调。

Noise emissions have also been reduced. At only 67 dBA during operation, the press contributes to a quieter and more comfortable working environment.

噪音排放也得到了降低。设备在运行时仅67分贝，有助于营造更安静、更舒适的工作环境。

– Minimizing noise is always a goal when we invest in new equipment. The new press has brought a marked improvement to the working environment, says Peter Lund Pedersen.

“尽量降低噪声始终是我们投资新设备时的目标之一。新压力机显著改善了工作环境。”Peter Lund Pedersen 说道。

The machine combines outstanding technology with high user-friendliness and low noise level. The freely programmable operator interface provides full control over the process. Operators can create and customize programs themselves, increasing flexibility and reducing need for external programming expertise.
该设备集卓越技术、高用户友好性和低噪音水平于一体。可自由编程的操作界面提供了对整个生产流程的全面控制。操作人员可自主创建和定制程序，从而提高柔性并减少对外部编程专业知识的需求

Cybersecurity a business-critical factor

网络安全是业务关键因素

Cybersecurity has become increasingly important as digitalization expands. AP&T's recent ISO 27001 certification has therefore been an important criterion for Grundfos.

随着数字化的不断发展，网络安全变得愈发重要。因此，AP&T 最近获得的 ISO 27001 认证成为了格兰富的一个重要考量标准。

– We require our suppliers to meet applicable security standards, especially when it comes to IT security. It's a given today, says Peter Lund Pedersen.

“我们要求供应商符合适用的安全标准，尤其是在 IT 安全方面。这已成为当今基本要求。”Peter Lund Pedersen 指出。

Up and running, with high expectations met

稳定运行，满足高度期待

The servo press is now in operation and the results of the first months live up to expectations in terms of both technical performance and energy efficiency.

目前该伺服压力机已投入运营，前几个月的运行结果在技术性能与能效方面均符合预期。

– There is always a certain running-in period with new technology, but the machine is now up and running in stable production. The precision, noise level, and energy consumption are exactly as we hoped, says Peter Karlsson at AP&T.

“新技术总需要一定磨合期，而目前设备已实现稳定生产。精度、噪声水平和能耗完全达到我们的预期。”AP&T 的 Peter Karlsson 表示。

And at Grundfos, clear results are already being seen, but Peter Lund Pedersen also emphasizes that the real effects will become apparent in the longer term.

对于格兰富，显著成效已清晰可见，但 Peter Lund Pedersen 同时强调，真正的效果需要长期运行方能完全显现。

– The most obvious result so far is the significant energy savings we see, especially in comparison to the previous press. We will only be able to assess other results once we have had the press in operation for a longer period. But even now, my clear opinion is that we have made the absolutely right decision – both in terms of choice of press and choice of AP&T as a supplier, he says.

“到目前为止，最明显的成果是我们观察到显著的节能效果，尤其是与旧压力机相比。其他方面的成效评估需经过更长时间的运行检验。但即便现在，我确信我们做出了完全正确的决策——无论是压力机的选型还是选择 AP&T 作为供应商。”他说道。
