heights and movement sequences. It also means that a variety of processes can be integrated – from drawing, bending, embossing, precision blanking and calibrating to welding and joining. The high system rigidity of the PSK presses guarantees close component tolerances while at the same time protecting the die by reducing the cutting impact.


About the Schuler Group


The combination of precision blanking and sheet metal forging makes it possible to produce highly complex parts.


additional functions integrated into the press – so-called ServoModules – a smooth blanked surface is created which is free from fracture and tearing and which can fulfill functions without the need for reworking. As a result, the


manufactured components are ready to install.


“The PSK precision blanking and forming presses of Schuler subsidiary Gräbener Pressensysteme are ideally suited for the production of such complex


components,” says Schuler Managing Director Jochen Früh. The line features a servo knuckle- joint drive which allows greater productivity than conventional knuckle-joint presses thanks to its freely programmable stroke
