Offering up to 1,200 strokes per minute, the 200 kN notcher is up to 20% faster than the previous model from Schuler, while notch accuracy is 0.01 mm. According to Schuler, the machine is especially adept at handling thin sheets and low blanking clearances. This is helped by its rigid construction and the play-free, pre-stressed roller guidance of the slide.
The machine has virtually no hydraulics and is operated with oil-free air, while the use of wear-free seals ensures low maintenance costs. In addition, thanks to a counterbalance moving in the opposite direction, the foundation forces are very low, which means the Performer S notcher can be placed above a cellar, for example.
