Service played a central role in Schuler ’ s presence at Blechexpo / Schweisstec , with new branding for the service division , a new customer portal launch and , most importantly , a step change in Schuler ’ s service philosophy , service culture and internal processes .
“ Torsten Petrick , Service Executive Vice President , Schuler , shows ISMR how service has now become a key differentiator .”
Press specialist , Schuler , showcased its broad product portfolio for forming technology at the Blechexpo trade fair from 7-10 November 2023 in Stuttgart , Germany . Its booth highlights included its “ TRITON ” modular press series and the " Energy Monitor " as well as other applications from its Digital Suite .
Schuler Pressen GmbH offers customised technology in forming from networked presses to press shop planning . Products also include automation ; dies ; process expertise ; digital solutions and service for the entire metalworking industry . Together with new machine business , Schuler ' s order backlog and sales after the first nine months of this year are already higher than last year , it reported at the show .
“ Our sheet-metal forming lines are almost as diverse as the parts produced on them . They range from the larger-than-man-sized , C-frame press for packaging to press lines filling factory halls that form car doors and engine hoods , among other things . Notching presses for electrical sheet and production lines for battery housings are also part of the portfolio . Added to this are numerous digital applications that we have developed for forming technology ,” said the German press specialist .
“ Our lines make mobility and sustainability possible in the first place because they produce , for example , the components for electric cars with a long range or electrolysers for the production of hydrogen ,” emphasised Schuler CEO , Domenico Iacovelli . “ With the help of applications from our Digital Suite , the production lines themselves can also be operated even more energy-efficiently and economically .”
