Newforging hammer with ServoDirect Technology. Which can be reduced cycle times, increased energy efficiency. Schuler’s new drive technology therefore offers maximum flexibility in adapting to increasingly specialized application areas and processes in forging. The elimination of hard-on-hard blows means a reduction in the total number of forging blows thus reducing cycle times and the energy needed for forming. Together with the non-contact and maintenance free linear drive, which directly converts electrical energy into the mechanical movement of the hammer slide, the potential energy savings are up to 20 percent. Precise control of the upper slide also enables the integration of stretching and rolling blows, as well as bending operations, into the actual forging process under the hammer. in the case of low impact energies, the linear motor can be started from any position and thus also reduces cycle times by eliminating unnecessarily long slide strokes. This greatly increases the potential areas of application. The ability to precisely control the linear drive means that the new linear hammer is ideal for automation with robots.
