Hydraulic deep drawing presses are manifold machines that can be used for a number of use cases. The general need for the reduction of the energy consumption of industrial machines forces press manufacturers and owners to optimize their machines and processes. This article presents methods for the analysis and optimization of the drive systems of a hydraulic deep drawing press with four-point die cushion. For the slide drive, two alternatives of control methods for speed variable displacement pumps are compared to the conventionally used displacement pump with a constant speed. For the drive of the die cushion, two displacement control drive systems are compared to a conventional valve drive system.

Hydraulic presses are widely applied in various forming processes to manufacture products with complex shapes, however, they are energy-intensive. In order to lower the energy consumption, a variable-speed variable-displacement pump unit (SVVDP) was developed for hydraulic presses, where the flow rate required by the press in a forming process can be realized by changing the motor rotating speed and the pump displacement simultaneously. A theoretical model was built to reveal the energy dissipation behavior of the drive unit, which shows that the energy efficiency of the drive unit can be optimized by varying the rotating speed of the motor under a variety of load conditions. An experimental platform with a SVVDP was established to find the optimum rotating speed and the corresponding displacement in different load conditions, and experimental results verified the improved energy efficiency of the SVVDP compared with that of the commonly used single variable drive unit. By employing the strategy that the determined optimum rotating speeds in different load conditions were preset as recommended values for the drive unit working in different operations, the proposed drive unit was applied to a press completing a forming process and the results indicate significant energy saving potentials.

Losses in control valves drag down the average overall efficiency of electrohydraulic systems to only about 22% from nearly 75% for standard pump-motor sets. For achieving higher energy efficiency in slower systems, direct pump control replacing fast-response valve control is being put in place through variable-speed motors. Despite the promise of a quicker response, displacement control of pumps has seen slower progress for exhibiting undesired oscillation with respect to the demand in some situations. Hence, a mechatronic simulation-based design is taken up here for a variable-displacement pump–controlled system directly feeding a double-acting single-rod cylinder. The most significant innovation centers on designing an axial-piston pump with an electrohydraulic compensator for bi-directional swashing. An accumulator is conceived to handle the flow difference in the two sides across the load piston. A solenoid-driven sequence valve with P control is proposed for charging the accumulator along with setting its initial gas pressure by a feedforward design. Simple proportional–integral–derivative control of the compensator valve is considered in this exploratory study. Appropriate setting of the gains and critical sizing of the compensator has been obtained through a detailed parametric study aiming low integral absolute error. A notable finding of the simulation is the achievement of the concurrent minimum integral absolute error of 3.8 mm s and the maximum energy saving of 516 kJ with respect to a fixed-displacement pump. This is predicted for the combination of the circumferential port width of 2 mm for the compensator valve and the radial clearance of 40 µm between each compensator cylinder and the paired piston.

A robust adaptive pressure control strategy is proposed for a novel indexing variable-displacement pump. In the proposed approach, parametric uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics are identified to the extent possible using a model free learning network and used to decouple the dynamics using physical insights derived from careful reduced order modeling. The swash plate motion control is then carefully designed to provide the desired pressure response characteristics showing improved performance with learning. The proposed control framework and designs are validated using a detailed nonlinear simulation model.

Solid-state ac variable-frequency drives offer a new generation of high-performance, maintenance-free drive systems. The desire to use the rugged ac motor as a high-performance, variable-speed device goes back many years; however, its practical implementation had to wait three-quarters of a century for development of the silicon controlled rectifier. This paper opens with a brief review of the history of variable-speed dc and ac drive systems. Then the fundamentals of solid-state ac variable-speed drives are presented with emphasis on future technical and economic trends. The ac system is evaluated as an economic solution to providing basic functional drive requirements. The characteristics are compared with traditional high-performance dc systems. Finally, an attempt is made to describe the solid-state ac variable-speed drive of the future.

This chapter introduces EMC installation for variable speed drive systems. As an introduction, EMC standards have been mentioned in order to define the requirements characteristics, besides the fundamentals of static, electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields. Both inductive and capacitive coupling have been discussed to deal with shielding. Finally, VSDS emission and electromagnetic interferences were studied with installation requirement in VSDS (supply cables, cable between converter and motor, control cables, earthing requirements, and grounding).
