Amada introduces integrated automation system for progressive stamping press operations

September 8, 2021

Unified control boosts work efficiency

Amada Press System, a member of the Amada Group, has introduced a new automation system called “ALFAS,” which unifies the operation screens and controls of progressive stamping presses and leveler feeders. ALFAS stands for Amada Leveler Feeder Automation System.

Traditionally, operators needed to control the press and the leveler feeder separately. With ALFAS, both systems can now be managed through a single interface. This integration improves operational efficiency and simplifies setup procedures.

First ALFAS-equipped model launched

The first model equipped with ALFAS, the “SDE-1515iⅢ + ALFAS03KR,” was released in September 2021. Amada Press System has set an annual sales target of 12 units, with pricing starting from 40 million yen.
