Link-Motion Drive
Precision Where It Counts
The Link-Motion Drive is YAMADA’s innovative solution for achieving optimal slide motion in stamping presses. Unlike a conventional crank-motion drive, which moves the slide at a nearly constant speed throughout the stroke, the Link-Motion Drive intelligently reduces the slide speed by around 30 % in the critical stamping zone near bottom dead center (BDC).
This deceleration around the point of material forming ensures:
-
Improved Process Stability: The slide moves more smoothly through the active area of the tool, minimizing vibrations and deviations.
-
Higher Accuracy: Consistent bottom-dead-center positioning guarantees uniform part quality, even at high stroke rates.
-
Extended Tool Life: Reduced speed in the critical forming zone decreases wear, meaning tools need resharpening less frequently.
-
Optimized Production Efficiency: The slide moves faster outside the stamping zone where precision is less critical, balancing speed and quality.
In short, the Link-Motion Drive delivers unmatched precision, process stability, and less wear on your tools.

Heat & Cool System
Perfect Parts from the First Stroke
Precision starts at the very first stroke. Yamada’s Heat & Cool system keeps the press at a constant operating temperature — from the first part to the last. Before production begins, the system automatically heats the press frame and slide to the optimal temperature using a built-in timer, so the machine is ready when production starts — without any loss of time. Once running, a circulating oil loop maintains the temperature within ±1 °C through integrated heating and cooling.
The result: consistent part quality, stable accuracy, and less scrap — without any additional cost. The Heat & Cool system comes standard with every Yamada press, ensuring perfect performance right from the start.
