Lourdes Industries Inc.
Lourdes patented high velocity electromagnetic technology uses speed rather than pressure to get the job done. It combines the performance of a precision dieset with ram velocity up to 750 times faster than many conventional presses. The Lourdes Press fires through material so quickly that the material nearly by-passes the plastic deformation and elastic phases and moves almost immediately to the fracture phase. Finished parts have clean, burr-free edges, and secondary operations, like deburring, are eliminated. The Lourdes Press System has only one moving part. There are no belts, brakes, clutches or fly-wheels. No hydraulics and no pneumatics- it is virtually maintenance free.
High velocity technology is responsible for longer tool life in the Lourdes Press as well. Conventional ram and punch pressure cause the work piece to bend, become heated and deformed. The enlarged material binds against the punch, resulting in a galling effect on the edges of the punch as it pulls back out of the material, causing tooling wear. Because the high velocity of the Lourdes Press minimizes the binding and the subsequent heat that would be generated. Almost no material swelling takes place. The result is less galling and less heat transfer to the punches providing more hits before sharpening is required.
Improve the process and reduce the cost- the mandate for manufacturing in the new millennium.
Eliminate secondary operations, reduce maintenance time, extend tool life.
