Abstract
It is widely accepted that uncertainties influencing product costs and quality can be overcome by an increased manufacturing flexibility. Several approaches for flexible manufacturing machines and processes are known from literature. So far forming machines which enable high process flexibility have not been discussed thoroughly. In this paper, recent developments in the field of servo press technology are described and discussed under this aspect. Special attention is paid to the recent development of a 3D Servo Press concept which opens new horizons for flexible forming machines.
