Precision teams up with performance

Hydraulics for forming technology

The highest possible precision is the essential prerequisite for achieving lasting success in the components supply industry. Schuler AG, with its headquarters in Göppingen and 18 further locations on three continents, is a technology and global market leader in forming technology and puts its full trust in the quality of the products supplied by Watz Hydraulik. Watz Hydraulik supplies Schuler, for example, with standard cylinders in all sizes together with the corresponding special equipment. Special cylinders in Schuler machinery, for example built in the form of telescopic cylinders, also come from Watz Hydraulik. A hydraulic drive unit designed to provide power to a forming machine using cold forming technology was supplied to the end user AUDI AG. The hydraulic power unit is built on a walk-on platform (in accordance with accident prevention safety regulations). The mechanical cutting and forming machines from Schuler, equipped with parts supplied by Watz Hydraulik, meet any challenges made on them such as increasing quantities, complex part geometry and processing high-strength materials. The pressing forces exerted by the machines range from 2,000 to 30,000 kN.

Watz Hydraulik and Schuler – a strong partnership for innovation and the highest quality.
