Full servo cup machine vs. hydraulic cup machine, what's the difference? Read this and you'll understand.

Many customers are struggling with the choice between a fully servo cup machine and a hydraulic cup machine. The core differences between the two lie in four dimensions of production: "cost, efficiency, cleanliness, and stability." Each has its own area of application.
In terms of cost, a fully servo machine can save 6-10 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour compared to a hydraulic machine. Assuming 20 hours of operation per day and an industrial electricity price of 1 yuan/kWh, this translates to over 50,000 yuan in electricity savings per year. Over the long term, electricity savings alone can generate significant profits. This is especially suitable for large-scale manufacturers with daily operating hours exceeding 16 hours. 。
In terms of operation, the PLC touch screen of the fully servo machine simplifies parameter settings: select the sheet material type and cup specifications, and the system automatically matches the parameters. A novice can get started in half an hour. Hydraulic machines rely on manual adjustment via knobs, requiring several days of training to operate proficiently. If the factory has frequent staff turnover or needs to hire temporary workers during peak seasons, the low operational threshold of the fully servo machine becomes a significant advantage. 。
In terms of maintenance, hydraulic machines require several thousand yuan annually for hydraulic oil changes, and there is always the concern of oil leaks contaminating the workshop. Fully servo machines completely eliminate the hydraulic system, eliminating the need for oil changes and cleaning, saving more than half on annual maintenance costs, and creating a cleaner workshop environment. This is more suitable for production environments with cleanliness requirements, such as food-grade packaging and pharmaceutical packaging. 。
Most importantly, there is the protection of the mold. The fully servo machine's mold closing position is accurate to within 0.05mm, reducing mold blade wear and extending its lifespan by over 30% compared to hydraulic machines. For producing high-end custom cups, irregularly shaped cups, and other products that rely on precision molds, choosing a fully servo machine can reduce mold wear and tear. Considering that a set of molds costs tens of thousands of yuan, extending their lifespan translates to significant cost savings.
In short, hydraulic machines have lower initial investment costs, making them suitable for small-batch, low-frequency production or budget-constrained startups. Fully servo machines require a higher upfront investment, but they can recoup costs through savings on electricity, labor, maintenance, and molds, making them suitable for manufacturers seeking long-term stability, profitability, and high-quality production.
