We have been developing special machines for forming wire, tube and strip material for almost 60 years. Among other things, we are specialized in the complex forming of particularly thick wires. The largest plant in our company's history is currently being commissioned in our assembly hall. This machine will take the complex cold forming of wires with diameters of up to 30 mm to a new level.

With a length of 25 meters, the machine has already an impressive size. But the technical details are even more impressive. A total of eight presses and eight bending slides as well as a newly developed special unit have been installed.

The two large servo presses, each with a force of 700 tons and an overall height of 3.5 meters, are particularly striking. If all the forces of the installed units were added together, this would result in a total forming force of 2912 tons in the system.

But that's not all. For the first time, we are not relying exclusively on our proven and fast servo transfer in this system, but are combining it with three fast robots for transporting the workpieces between the stations. This enables us to achieve high cycle rates and short set-up times.  It almost goes without saying that all our units are servo-electric and equipped with regenerative frequency converters.  This helps the system to achieve excellent energy efficiency.

Back to the subject of the trade fair.
It goes without saying that we can't "just" take this system to the trade fair in Düsseldorf for presentation. But we are planning an in-house exhibition for mid-June at which we will be presenting the system. More information will follow shortly.
