MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY WITH SERVODIRECT PRESSES

In addition to the use of conventional presses (mechanical

or hydraulic), lines for manufacturing shaped blanks

are preferably equipped with servo presses nowadays.

ServoDirect technology from Schuler enables movement

sequences of the press to be adapted individually to thedifferent blanking dies. This increases productivity and the

service lives of dies significantly. Also, lines with this

technology are configured for processing an extremely

wide range of materials such as aluminum or high-strength

steels. Material with a sensitive surface can also be

processed carefully, using a press blanking line with the

highest productivity.

All upstream and downstream automation components,

such as the roll feed unit driven directly by servomotors

or the flexible Stop2Drop stacker, support the impressive

press performance and ensure powerful dynamic

properties in blanking. A high level of automation ensures

quick production changes and a smooth production

process.

BLANKING WITH CROSSCUT SHEAR THE SOLUTION

FOR STRAIGHTFORWARD BLANK SHAPES

Schuler offers blanking lines equipped with cross-cut

shears for manufacturing blanks with a rectangular,

parallelogram or curved shape. If the manufacturing

process is restricted to straightforward blank shapes, then

cross-cut shears represent the ideal solution both withregard to purchase costs and their productivity. Optionally,

the shears can be equipped with an automatic die change.

LASER CUT TING: FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION,

COMPACT LINE DESIGN

Blanking lines with lasers are particularly suitable for

production sequences with frequent product changes

as well, because no tooling is used for laser cutting.

This means there is no need, whatsoever, to invest in dies,

die maintenance and die warehousing. The compact design

of the line means it can be used even when space is

limited and overhead heights are low. With their innovative

DynamicFlow technology, they offer the most flexible

possible production conditions with comparatively low

investment costs. The laser cutting line processes anextremely wide range of materials such as aluminum or

high-strength steels, and guarantees high productivity

even with skin panels that have sensitive surfaces.

SUCCESS CAN BE PROGRAMMED

Presses with Ser voDirect technology open completely new

perspectives: maximum flexibility in production,

economical production of complex parts geometries and

a high level of productivity with optimum parts quality. In

combination with highly dynamic Schuler roll feed units,

coil lines, destackers or tri-axis transfer systems, fully

Operating panel of a servo press. Production with optimally matched system components.


PRESSES WITH SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY

automatic forming systems are created for a broad range

of parts. The presses are driven directly by torque motors

which permit highly dynamic forming processes thanks to

their high torque. The lack of a flywheel and clutch / brake

combination makes the presses flexible, energy efficient

and cuts down the maintenance required.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


31/104

PROGRAMMABLE SLIDE MOTION CURVES

The use of highly dynamic torque motors permits

straightforward and rapid programming of different

movement profiles in one press cycle. This means the

slide kinematics can be quickly and easily adapted to

the process parameters of the die and the automation

system, and optimized for a high stroke rate.

OSCILLATING STROKE MODE

Oscillating stroke mode permits user-programmable slide

stroke heights. The reversing movement of the torque

motor means that the eccentric drive of the slide has an

oscillating motion and alternates between forward in one

stroke and backward in the next stroke. This significantly

improves cycle count and energy efficiency.

Individual programming of the slide motion reduces the cycle time

while keeping the forming speed constant.

ServoDirect technology allows the slide motion to be programmed

individually.

Servo presses in monoblock design.

Press force: 4,000 kN each.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Energy accumulators can be used as

an option in order to reduce the

connected load. This means energy isreturned to the energy accumulator

during the press cycle in the

generative braking phase. This stored

energy is available during the

subsequent motor acceleration phase,

without imposing any additional load

on the electrical system.

RELIABLE COMPONENTS

The monoblock press body is

implemented as a stress-free

annealed welded structure. Theeccentric gears have a double

herringbone profile to provide axial

guidance and to reduce noise. The

slide roller guide is preloaded to

eliminate play. This results in

components that guarantee high

availability of the machine.

TRYOUT

Starting up new dies demands the

greatest flexibility. The setup speed

can be varied by a hand wheel. Theslide can be stopped in any position

and the direction of movement can be

reversed if required. The quick-lift

function makes it possible to move the

slide to the maximum top reversing

point at any moment during the setup

procedure.

PRESSES WITH TWINSERVO TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCED THINKING IN SERVO TECHNOLOGY

Following the market launch of ServoDirect technology,

the next milestone in a success story was set with

TwinServo technology. The new press generation is driven

by decentralized TwinServo technology, which offers users

additional interesting possibilities in sheet metal forming.The performance capabilities of this innovative press

technology are impressively demonstrated by Schuler at its

UmformCenter Erfurt on a new transfer press. The new

press system produces at a press force of 16,000

kilonewtons and is fully automated with components from

Mechanical multi-station press.

INDIVIDUALLY ADJUSTABLE FORMING STATIONS

Multi-station presses differ from transfer presses mainly in

the ability to adjust individual forming stations. Another

difference in multi-station presses is the externally

mounted blanking slide for integrated blank production.

Multi-station presses are built both as single-slide andmulti-slide machines with a press force range from

2500 kilonewtons to 60,000 kilonewtons. Either mechanical

or electronic rail transfer systems are used for parts

transport. The advantages are high output and high

availability, individual station adjustment in each station

and, if necessary, the externally mounted blanking slide

for integrated blank production.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL MASS PRODUCTION

Multi-slide transfer presses deliver impressive practical

performance as a functional unit comprising press,

transfer and material feed. The configuration is based on

the parts spectrum, die size and forming process. Single-

slide, double-slide or triple-slide machines are used,depending on the parts spectrum, which also influences

the size and number of dies. Parts are transported by

a rail transfer system which can be equipped either

with cam-controlled or electronic drive.

Power Feed.

POWER FEED ROLL FEED UNIT

The Power Feed roll feed unit shortens the automation

time, especially with highly dynamic presses. ServoDirect

drives provide greater dynamics and system accuracy, as

do the low-play and maintenance-free planetary gear

units. In the long term too, this makes it possible to achievea system accuracy of 0.05 millimeters. Furthermore,

there is an optimally configured roll coating which

transfers the high acceleration values to the material. The

Schuler Power Feed is divided into different weight classes

depending on the mass to be moved: Weight class L

(Light) with movable mass up to 100 kilograms, M

(Medium) with movable mass up to 180 kilograms or H

(Heavy) with movable mass up to 300 kilograms.

Schuler Pro Trans transfer.

The new modular transfer generation is a high-performance

addition to sheet metal forming presses. Designed with

three sizes, the transfer system covers a wide range of

applications. In all transfer solutions, active vibration

damping AVD also guarantees reliable parts transport

with the highest level of dynamic properties and at full

load.


TRIAXIS TRANSFER SYSTEMS

Can be retrofitted regardless of the press

Optimally adaptable to different applications

Simple and cost-effective performance increase


High rigidity in the overall system

Low tendency for vibration

Short changeover times

Large clearances for attaching components for material

feed and material unloading

Left-over strip processing regardless of material

ADVANTAGES

PRO TRANS

With its three motor versions L (Light), M (Medium)

and H (Heavy), Schuler Pro Trans covers low, medium

and high part weights and stroke rates. The heavy version

has twice the performance capability of the light version,

while the medium variant is situated in between. All thetransfers owe their significantly improved output

performance to having motor systems with direct advance

drive, featuring highly dynamic servo drives. Overall, the

Schuler Pro Trans has a modular principle: The three

defined standard models AT1, AT2 and AT3 can

quickly and easily be adapted to changed requirements.

Schuler offers a wide selection of options for this.

POWER TRANS

Schuler offers a high-end transfer solution for high-

performance presses in the form of Schuler Power Trans

and the S (Speed) motor system, the use of which

permits productivity to be increased even further and by a

significant amount. For example, the output rate with

Power Trans is up to 30 % higher than with Pro Trans motor

systems. This additional performance is achieved in

particular by using newly developed carbon rails with

aluminum profile functions combined with the ServoDirect

drive. The rails are very light and rigid, which means the

vibration levels are extremely low. As a result, they are

ideal for use in highly dynamic production processes.

Attachment variants of the transfer drive housings of the Schuler

transfer system on the press upright.

INTRA TRANS

The Schuler Intra Trans can be equipped with all motor

variants from L (Light) to S (Speed), which means it is

suitable for use in presses ranging from conventional to

high-performance. In Intra Trans, the transfer rails do not

operate through the press window, but are installedbetween the press uprights. Parts feed in the working

direction is performed by movable slides mounted on the

transfer rails, with servo drives integrated in the rail. Each

carriage of the Intra Trans can be moved individually so the

central joining of parts or even dif ferent distances between

stations are possible. Using this compact transfer makes

it possible to manufacture larger parts with the same

transfer press. The new transfer solution is also a genuine

alternative to progressive die manufacturing. Conventional

transfers require a larger press for the same maximum

part size but the compact design of the Intra Trans means

it needs only the same space as the progressive die. The

transfer exploits its full benefit: less material is consumed,

because the parts are transported by the slides and not by

the coil material itself. Additional material is required in

combined sequential production, and the material has to

be cut off the finished pressed part as scrap. Intra Trans

is ideal for retrofitting to existing combined sequential

presses as a means of reducing unit costs. Access to the

die and the die change are possible without restrictions

as before, and as far as the operator is concerned there isno difference from the Schuler transfers in the Pro Trans

and Power Trans series.

OVERVIEW OF THE SIZES

MODULAR SYSTEM

All models in the Pro Trans, Power Trans & Intra Trans

series have gripper rail drive units that can be attached in

the press (1), between the press uprights (2) or on the

outside of the press uprights (3). Furthermore, they can be

installed above (hanging) or below (standing) the transport

level, resulting in the highest level of flexibility both in

project planning and for retrofitting to existing presses.

CROSSBAR FEEDER IMPROVES OUTPUT PERFORMANCE

To increase the cost-effectiveness of mechanical press

lines, Schuler developed the crossbar feeder. In press

lines with crossbar feeder automation, the components

are transported directly from press to press without

intermediate stations. If required, the components canalso be repositioned before placement into the die. As

compared to mechanical press lines with robot or feeder

automation, it is possible to achieve production rates

as high as 15 strokes / minute.

In mechanical press lines with crossbar feeder automation,

both the loading of press 1 as well as unloading the

finished parts can be performed with the crossbar feeder.

Modular designed destacker concepts for mechanical and

hydraulic press lines are designed to suit downstream

forming systems. Schuler offers a selection of models

adapted to the required part size and contour, the type of

material, the blank weight and the loading speed. From the

simplest loader with one robot without centering stationfor small parts and simple operations, up to destackers

with two destacking stations, optical or mechanical

centering station, blank washers and lubrication units for

large and / or heavy blanks we have it all. The blank

destacking is performed by the robot or feeder. To help

make full use of the capacities of large press lines, two

or even four blanks can be processed at the same time.

For press lines with crossbar automation, loading the

first die station can be performed by a crossbar robot or

crossbar feeder. In addition to handling conventional

steel sheet, these destackers can also process blanks

in aluminum, steel-aluminum mix, and higher-strength
