The nominal force travel on the other hand can be set low since the forces grow greatly only toward the end of the forming process. The use of a link drive is to be recommended due to its relatively low speeds during the forming phase. This drive in conjunction with a fully hydraulic drawing unit will guarantee an optimal drawing operation. The Schuler 4,500-ton, tri-axis transfer press is optimized for the manufacture of support and structural components in high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels. A separate slide with 2,000 ton press force and a relatively small clamping surface of 1,400 x 2,500 mm permits a drawing process that is not negatively influenced by blanking and coining operations. Powerful hydraulic bed cushions in all stations and a high-performance transport system designed for heavy weights guarantee a safe investment for the future.
