PWO puts Schuler TwinServo press into operation

By OEM Update Editorial April 11, 2020 11:04 am IST

Progress-Werk Oberkirch (PWO) AG has officially started up a TwinServo press at its Czech location in Valašské Meziříčí. The 2,500-tonne system forms parts for car seats from high-strength sheet metal. The four underfloor drives supply power equivalent to 2,200 hp.

“A wonderful press” is how PWO board member Johannes Obrecht sums it up. “More and more high-strength sheets are being installed in the seats to increase safety and to save weight. For this, we need more press force. At the same time, the required quality increases, and this is why we opted for a very rigid press with an underfloor drive.”
