Schuler showcases smart forming technology via sophisticated sensors and actuators in its latest machines. Machine components can be monitored for changes, wear and damage to optimize the maintenance process. For this purpose, regular test runs of the system are performed in which vibration data, torque progressions and energy consumption, among other things, are measured, stored and compared. Sensors in the press bed and slide record the acceleration per stroke for example, enabling stampers to monitor the forming processes in detail.
