Press Hardening / Hot Forming

For the press hardening procedure (hot forming) of blanks made of high-tensile steel for structural parts in vehicles smt supplies dynamic transfer systems for loading and unloading the press.

Apart from their solidity against the harsh manufacturing environment the transfer systems in modular design by smt are also characterized by high speeds by means of an overlaid cinematics in transfer direction. With own developed software modules for charging the hot forming presses shortest tooling change times within the tooling can be best realized. Our transfer axes reach part changeover times of below 2 seconds.

The product spectrum in this segment is additionally completed by destackers with destacking stations and batch marking of the blanks as well as by automatic stacking stations for finished parts.
