NOTABLE
Taking advantage of the speed adjustments provided
by servomotors, a 2,000-ton forging press has been
developed by Schuler ( schulergroup.com ) that controls the
speed of the die as it makes its way through the process.
That is, the movement is slower during transport and spray-
ing, faster during forming.
According to Johannes Linden, Division Industry Head at Schuler
Weingarten, there are several advantages to this capability:
"With our newly-developed MSE 2000, a much higher number of
parts can be produced in the same amount of time compared to con-
ventional forging presses." One reason why this is the case is because
traditionally the speed of the overall process was predicated on the
speed of the slowest process. Additionally, he continues, "The lifetime
of the die is considerably lengthened. At the same time, the
energy needs of the entire machine are reduced."
In addition to the servo drives in the head unit, there
are servos in the table ejectors.
The press was designed for a forging company that
will use it to produce parts including shafts and bevel
gear wheels.
