Schuler presents its latest innovation

In the presence of some 300 political and business leaders, press manufacturer Schuler recently presented its latest innovation: Twin Servo Technology (TST), which is a further development of the company’s Servo Direct Technology (SDT).

Chief technology officer, Joachim Beyer, unveiled the prototype TST transfer press at Schuler’s Umform Center in Erfurt; it will be used to produce small batches for automotive-industry customers (and to conduct die tests for them). The line has a press force of 1,600 tonnes and is fully equipped with automation components from Schuler Group companies. In combination with the new press technology, the coil line, roll feed, blank-loader and three-axis transfer ensure economic, flexible and reliable part production.

CEO Stefan Klebert said: “We are certain that our latest development will raise a few eyebrows in the sector and strengthen our market position. Twin Servo Technology will continue the success of our Servo Direct Technology, which was launched five years ago and has since established itself as the industry standard. For our customers in the automotive sector, it represents an interesting alternative in the field of transfer and progressive die presses.”
