Transfer systems for cold, warm, and hot forming
DREHER’s railed transfer systems for transporting parts use approved mechanical subgroups and a modern control and drive technology. The systems are “free-programmable,” meaning that the positions and the displacement courses of the gripper rails (closing, lifting and transport) can be determined by the program within the limits of the technical data. This equipment is used for cold, warm and hot massive forming operations. “Progressive attendance” concepts are used to increase productivity and to reduce the danger of production losses. Plant modernization, teleservice, and customer training are available also.
