Abstract
A press machine comprises a moveable press ram, an actuator, a first motor system, a second motor system, and a belt system. The moveable press ram holds a tool that forms a part. The actuator linearly moves the moveable press ram by use of a male-female thread mechanism. The actuator includes an actuator sprocket coupled to the male-female thread mechanism. The first motor system produces a high-force linear movement condition to the press ram, and includes a clutch coupled to a first motor and a first motor sprocket coupled to the clutch. The second motor system produces a high-speed linear movement condition to the press ram. The belt system couples the actuator sprocket, the first motor sprocket, and the second motor sprocket. The clutch allows the first motor to partially or fully disengage from rotational movement of the first sprocket when the belt is being driven by the second motor.
