MJ Gerüst GmbH, a leading scaffolding manufacturer, based in Plettenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, has placed an order with
Schuler for its third identical servo press — a 400-ton line with bed dimensions of 3,050 by 1,400mm, which forms perforated scaffold decks and other parts from sheet metal for scaffolding.
Schuler will supply the servo press, which is scheduled to go into operation at the end of the year, along with complete automation.
Schuler area sales manager Olaf Klein, said: "MJ Gerüst also wants to rely on Schuler's proven servo technology for this special forming requirement. The machine will be located at the beginning of a production line about 50m in length, which also includes a profiling line as well as a welding line.
Alexander Böhne, MJ Gerüst technical manager, added: “This will enable us to further optimise the manufacturing process by eliminating the need to transport parts between production lines and make even better use of the high output capacity of the servo press.
“We have also equipped all three machines with a soundproof booth and spared no expense or effort to do so.”
The company started in 1970 as a supplier of scaffolding components for other manufacturers and producing its first own system in 1985.
As a result of the constant expansion of production and storage capacities, the company’s facility covers more than 30 hectares. In 2019, a second production site was established in Plettenberg, Sauerland.
