The metal processing industry has long been a "tough nut to crack" in the industrial sector. Ranging from precision mold manufacturing to large-scale mechanical part processing, it imposes near-stringent requirements on the precision and efficiency of equipment. The advent of lead screw electric cylinders, however, is like a precise "scalpel"—it has brought a qualitative leap to metal processing equipment, making precision and efficiency no longer a difficult balance to strike.

On the basis of ensuring precision, efficiency is the key for enterprises to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. Metal processing equipment often needs to perform frequent actions such as starting, stopping, reversing, and feeding; the efficiency of these actions directly affects the overall production cycle. The high-efficiency feature of lead screw electric cylinders precisely aligns with the "rhythm" of production.

On one hand, lead screw electric cylinders boast an extremely fast response speed.
In traditional pneumatic or hydraulic drive systems, energy transmission relies on media (gas or liquid), which leads to a certain degree of lag. It usually takes hundreds of milliseconds or even longer for the equipment to execute an action after a command is issued. In contrast, lead screw electric cylinders are directly driven by motors, with almost no delay in command transmission. Their millisecond-level response speed enables the equipment to switch between actions quickly.

For instance, in the automatic loading and unloading process, manipulators driven by lead screw electric cylinders can instantly complete the entire sequence of actions—"grabbing, lifting, moving, and placing." This saves more than 30% of the time compared with traditional drive methods, significantly shortening the workpiece turnover cycle.

On the other hand, lead screw electric cylinders offer strong controllability over their operating speed.
Lead screw electric cylinders can flexibly adjust their movement speed according to processing needs: during the rough machining stage, they can operate at high speed to quickly remove excess metal materials; when switching to the finish machining stage, they automatically shift to a low-speed and stable mode to ensure processing precision.

This "combination of high and low speed" operation mode avoids the "one-size-fits-all" speed limitation of traditional equipment, allowing each process to proceed at the most suitable pace. Take lathe processing as an example: the tool post driven by a lead screw electric cylinder feeds at high speed when turning the blank, achieving higher efficiency than traditional equipment; when processing the precision part of the component, it automatically decelerates to ensure dimensional accuracy. Overall, the processing efficiency can be increased by 15%-20%.
