The Kistler Group has introduced the new Integrated Joining System (IJSys), a compact, fully electric servo press. The system was developed in close collaboration with Cyltronic AG and is based on a licensed integration solution from Cyltronic.
With the new system, Kistler has achieved a fully integrated architecture: drive, controller, sensors, and process monitoring are combined in a single, compact system. For machine builders, this means a significant reduction in interfaces, components, and integration effort.
All-in-One as an Enabler
The foundation is Cyltronic’s integration philosophy: the servo motor, power electronics, and mechanical components are combined into a single functional unit. This architecture enables:
• Maximum compactness directly within the machine
• decentralized intelligence without additional control cabinet infrastructure
• reduced cabling and clear system structures
This type of integration is increasingly becoming a decisive factor, particularly in space-critical applications and modular machine designs.
The industrialization of a clear architectural approach
With the Integrated Joining System, Kistler demonstrates how integrated actuator technology can be seamlessly incorporated into an industrial mass-production product. The system combines precise force and position control with integrated measurement technology in a compact design, enabling easy integration into a seamless, coordinated system solution.
Significance for Cyltronic
The market launch underscores the relevance of Cyltronic technology in industrial settings. The collaboration with Kistler demonstrates:
• that integrated all-in-one actuator systems are scalable even in demanding applications
• that decentralized system architectures are increasingly becoming the industry standard
• that reduced complexity directly translates into competitive advantages for machine builders
Cyltronic is thus consistently positioning itself as a technology partner for integrated, compact, and easy-to-implement actuator solutions.
Outlook
This trend clearly points the way forward: systems are becoming more compact, smarter, and more closely integrated with their applications.
Cyltronic will continue to drive this approach forward and actively apply it to new applications and strategic partnerships.
