SCHMALE MASCHINENBAU GMBH - Maschinen für die automatische Bearbeitung von Draht, Band und Rohr

Our Speedmax is the fastest available wire and tube forming automation solution available on the market for bending machines. By combining NC finger benders with our servo-electric transfer, the Speedmax with its 90 servo axes can reach a speed of up to 4,000 machining steps per minute. The SPEEDMAX is available in three variants (S,M,L). The SPEEDMAX (S) has 20 processing stations and can produce up to 200 parts per minute. The machine concept combines the advantages of 3D-NC wire bending and wire bending by slides. Bending, embossing, notching, flattening, joining, punching, swaging of tubes and wire are possible production technologies in the 20 processing stations. The new SPEEDMAX L has actually 20 processing stations and can produce up to 60 parts per minute. The SPEEDMAX L can work with tube and wire up to a diameter of 12mm and a feed length of 50cm. Various bends in all levels and in the current equipment up to four swaging processes are possible.

The X2000NC is a modular, fully servo-electric wire and tube bending machine that can be configured to customer specifications with various servo-electric units such as NC finger benders, bending slides and presses up to a force of 7000kN. Due to the variable positioning possibilities of the units, a great variety of different forming processes can be realized on the machine. This makes it possible to produce a wide variety of wire, tube and strip products on one X2000NC. Dimensions: from app. 5,50m x 2,50m, app 10 - 30 to.

Finger bender technology on our X2000NC This is new and revolutionary! Do you know our X2000NC? Then you know the advantages of our variable, modular machine concept. In this new model, we have consistently transferred the finger bending technology of the SPEEDMAX to the X2000NC. This model now combines all the advantages of two bending worlds. By integrating the NC bending technology in combination with our rotary positioning pliers and the servo transfer, the X2000NC is now pushing material speeds to a whole new level. E.g.: Up to 40 parts per minute, each one with up to 6 bendings and 1 press operation is possible

A clamping ring machine is a system for the automatic production of clamping rings. Schmale Maschinenbau Gmbh is one of the leading manufacturers of clamping ring machines in Europe. On our clamping ring machines, the strip material is profiled, bent and cut. Automatically closures are supplied and welded. The finished clamping ring is calibrated and stored. Via a servo-electric transfer, all processing stations are connected to each other and operated simultaneously. Thus, cycle rates of up to 28 clamping rings per minute can be realized.

Servo-electric press lines Modular X2000NC setup as a press line with various servo-driven presses for cold forming Back wall dimensions: approx. 5 x 3.5 m, total weight: approx. 45 t Tool setup: 6 stations, 23 mm wire fed in from decoiler and feeder, straightener and cutting unit, ready-to-use production parts Cold extrusion process with press lines Illustrative example of a modular X2000NC setup with servo-driven presses of various sizes as a press line for the cold forming of wire. This setup with servo-driven presses from 240 kN to 7,000 kN can take the place of a single large press with a progressive die. Our press line with synchronised servo transfer is compact, fast and affordable. Unlike large presses from other manufacturers, our line does not need its own press pit. If you need a machine for processing thick wire up to 26 mm in diameter – we’re the specialists to call.

Special machines from Schmale Maschinenbau are equipped with an intelligent combination of technologies. The plant shown above is used to manufacture reinforcement items from solid material with a diameter of 20mm for the building industry. Servo-electric units such as bending slides, presses and finger benders are combined into customer-specific solutions for the production of individual items that can not be produced on standard machines. Schmale offers special machines for wire, tube and strip processing. You can watch various special machines for the production of different forming articles on our YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCziuQiA3kXBVfH4ecLxQ2JA/videos

X2000NC for producing door strikers Modular tool set on an X2000NC line for the production of door strikers from 8 mm wire. Striker sprinter tool, 3 stations, 2 m back wall, feeding of coil material via NC roller infeed, cycle output: approx. 60 pcs/min, ready-to-use, weight approx. 10 t Door striker production With these specifications, our X2000NC is the world’s fastest system for the production of door strikers for the automotive industry. With tool changes, different striker shapes can be achieved, as well as processing details such as upsetting or tapering at wire ends. Our one-of-a-kind production model enables cycle times of more than 60 pcs/minute. For this reason, we’d prefer not to share the technical details of our strategy online. If you’re interested, please arrange a meeting with a member of our field sales team. Incidentally, we also build assembly systems for coupling door strikers to striker plates.
