This is already the fifth machine of this design for the company.
"This shows how satisfied our customer is with the crank forging presses," said Schuler managing director Frank Klingemann.
"Thanks to the ServoDirect technology and the adjustable slide movement, the number of strokes and the forming speed can be optimally adapted to the part," he added. "This increases output and improves energy efficiency."
In crank forging presses with ServoDirect technology, several torque motors operate on a main shaft via a step-down gear unit. They are suitable both for wear-free single-stroke operation and for forging in continuous operation.
With a press force of 3,150 tons, the machine for Otto Fuchs is the strongest in the series, which starts at 1,250 tons.
