Composite panels, spring systems for reliable forming processes
Fewer failures, longer service life, and more consistent force delivery. With composite panels from N2-Tech, you can get more out of every tool. We manufacture custom-fit systems for punch tool construction and solve typical problems associated with conventional gas springs through targeted system technology.
What are composite panels and when are they used?
Composite panels connect several gas springs to form a precisely controllable overall system. The individual springs are connected via holes drilled directly into the plate, without any external hose lines. This results in a particularly low-maintenance system that operates reliably and durably. Whether for installation space problems, changing forces, or high cycle rates. Our composite panels are your solution when individual springs fail.
- Toolmakers rely on composite panels when:
- the available installation space is limited
- hoses are not desired for design reasons
- documentation requirements need to be reduced
- maximum force stability is required for complex forming processes
- regular maintenance of individual springs is not practical
Composite panels not only replace individual components, but also create a controlled, low-maintenance system that functions permanently.
Technology with a system: How composite panels work
Composite panels serve as the support structure, pressure distributor, and control point for interconnected gas springs. The pressure connection is made internally via drilled channels. The entire system is filled, monitored, and maintained centrally.
Advantages of this design:
- All springs operate under identical pressure conditions
- The force curve remains stable over the entire stroke
- Lubrication is distributed evenly across all components
- Maintenance, pressure regulation, and control via central fitting
- No external hoses, no additional sealing points
The result: A closed spring system with high process reliability and low susceptibility to errors.
