From the idea to volume production.
Manufacturing quality and economy in forging depends on the design of the parts, the development of the progressions, any required treatment of the material, and, of course, the dies and die accessories. The goal is perfection in fine-tuning of equipment and process. For this reason, Schuler has always placed a high priority on comprehensive customer consultation and support in the areas of process and die technology. Our wide range of capabilities for all aspects of process development include:- Part development (material selection, determination of geometry and tolerances)
- Process selection (temperature range of forming, required pre-treatment, intermediate treatment)
- Determination of the most cost-effective press concept - the best solution for your requirements, whether mechanical or hydraulic
- Determination of product-specific technical specifications
- Progression development
- Simulation of the forming process by means of FEM (3D and 2D)
- Part transfer testing on multi-station presses
- Design of single and multi-station dies
- Manufacture of dies
- Testing and start-up of dies
