“The efficient use of existing resources improves the cost-effectiveness of our machines and reduces the impact on the environment. The use of pure hydraulic networks, for example in a stamping machine, can reduce the power required to drive the machine by up to 40 percent,” said Hermann Störk, sales manager for servohydraulic products at Schneider-Kreuznach.
The key word is variability: the force, and thus the amount of energy required to operate the machine, adjusts to individual work pieces. “The challenge was to optimise existing technologies without reducing the performance capabilities of these units. We achieved this goal,” adds Hermann Störk.
Schneider-Kreuznach will be presenting more information on hydraulic systems from October 21 – 25, at the 20th EuroBlech in Hanover, in Hall 14, at stand H24.
