Not only Schuler's single presses are of modular design ("TRITON" concept), but also the multi-stage press lines. The most powerful line, "ServoMAX," can produce a particularly large number of parts cost-effectively. For those who want to take advantage of all the benefits of servo technology but do not require maximum output, Schuler now offers the "ServoNEXT" press line. The "MechNEXT" is an additional mechanical press line without servo drive.

Laser blanking lines cut the blanks which the press lines then form into body and structural parts. In addition to the proven lines with two and three laser cutting heads, Schuler has now added a more cost-effective line to its product portfolio which operates with one cutting head. All laser blanking lines allow die-free blanking: all that is needed to change from one geometry to the next is the push of a button.

Lighter components extend the range of vehicles – whether with electric drives or combustion engines. A new process for hot stamping aluminum is therefore now being used on hydraulic presses from Schuler, in which the light metal is heated, formed, and simultaneously cooled within a very short time. The result is high-strength components with low weight.

"Shopfloor Operations Management" is the name of the latest application from Schuler's Digital Suite, which can even be used to optimize and control an entire press shop. Other solutions include applications from the field of machine vision as well as systems for component tracking and energy optimization. Furthermore, visitors to Schuler's stand at Blechexpo will be able to find out about lines to produce electrical sheets for motors or cylindrical and prismatic battery housings. The company's subsidiary AWEBA can also supply the appropriate dies for these and other parts.
