With the MSP 800, Schuler has now sold the strongest machine in the series.
Due to a digital twin, the commissioning of the new press is also considerably faster.
Huissel, a die and sheet metal part supplier for the European automotive and supplier industry, has expanded its market with Schuler presses. Huissel will utilize MSP servo presses for high production of complex stampings.
Huissel wanted to complete the die manufacturing process chain in Frankenthal, Germany, and the related delivery of sheet metal parts at the Enkenbach-Alsenborn site for its product line. According to the two managing directors, Peter Busalt and Gerald Schug, these market potentials could not be achieved with the existing machinery. A system was needed that would permit economical manufacturing of medium and high lot sizes while enabling easy operation. Huissel chose the Schuler MSP 800; the latest expansion of the newly developed servo press series from Schuler.
"We examined suppliers from Spain and Italy to Germany," said Peter Busalt. "But only the MSP series from Schuler currently has the functions we need." Gerald Schug added, "The ease of operability of the machine was important for us, because this aspect helps even inexperienced employees quickly achieve good results and take advantage of the full potential of the servo press."
Operators can select from predefined movement curves or program them freely. A fixed component of the control system is the Smart Assist software from Schuler, which performs the set-up procedure for the dies step by step. Schug said, "In this way, we can shorten the usual launch of production to a fraction of the previous time."
The commissioning of the new press is also considerably faster due to a digital twin. Here, the virtual system model is connected to the real control system with the machine and system visualization system. All functions of the MSP 800 can be simulated on the computer in this manner. The functionality and operation of the system can therefore be tested and trained on the real machine.
Huissel will set up a new building in its Enkenbach-Alsenborn factory for the MSP 800. As a whole, this project is the largest single investment in the company's 100-year history. Huissel also intends to attach dies that it has manufactured in its Frankenthal factory 25 miles away to the new servo press. The tie rod structure of the MSP 800, which offers particularly high rigidity, also provides high quality parts production.
Schuler's MSP line of presses feature a knuckle-joint drive with highly dynamic servo motors and additional smart functions, such as condition monitoring.
