KC today unveiled the CPS-30-ECO and CPS-60-ECO Servo Hydraulic Presses, marking the next generation of precision forming technology for modern manufacturing.
Designed for ceramic, metal forming, fabrication, and automation environments, the new ECO Series unites accuracy, power, and efficiency in a compact, integration-ready platform built for the rigorous demands of high-mix, high-throughput production.
The ECO Series combines servo-driven motion control with proven hydraulic force delivery to achieve faster cycles, quieter operation, and cleaner performance on the plant floor.
Managed by the advanced I-PRESS® Servo Control System, the platform governs position, speed, and pressure in real time, unlocking up to 60% energy savings while sustaining tight tolerances and repeatable outcomes across shifts.
Built for exacting processes, the ECO Series emphasizes fine motion control, high-resolution feedback, and consistent part quality across diverse materials and assemblies.
Engineers and operators gain deterministic control at every stage of the stroke, enabling precise forming windows and consistent results from first part to last.
Key Capabilities:
Energy and data capabilities are central to the ECO design, helping manufacturers lower total cost of ownership while enabling smart-factory workflows.
With connected diagnostics and analytics, teams can monitor performance, validate processes, and optimize maintenance intervals to protect uptime.
Efficiency Features:
The CPS-ECO platform integrates seamlessly into automated cells, enabling consistent throughput, shorter changeovers, and closed-loop quality verification.
From lights-out production to collaborative operations, the presses coordinate effortlessly with robotics and in-line inspection systems, without compromising safety or speed.
Automation Features:
From high-density ceramic compaction to precision metal shaping and fabrication, the ECO Series is engineered for tight tolerances and continuous-duty performance.
Users can expect stable force control, responsive motion profiles, and durable components that maintain consistent quality while reducing noise and heat on the production floor.
“These new ECO presses bring a perfect blend of power, precision, and sustainability,” said Mark Sutherland, President, KC.
“Whether it’s forming ceramics, shaping metal, or running automated lines, the CPS-ECO Series delivers unmatched performance and control.” He added that the platform was designed to meet today’s productivity targets and tomorrow’s sustainability goals.
KC confirmed that the CPS-30-ECO (30-ton) and CPS-60-ECO (60-ton) models are available now for demonstration and rapid integration into advanced manufacturing environments.
Prospective users can schedule application reviews, evaluate cycle time and energy data, and plan turnkey deployments with KC’s technical team to accelerate time-to-value.
With digitally governed motion, energy-smart hydraulics, and plug-and-play automation, the ECO Series empowers teams to increase throughput, lower operating costs, and enhance traceability.
The result is a scalable, future-ready platform that aligns with sustainability initiatives and the performance expectations of modern, data-driven manufacturing.
