Since its foundation in 1947, the medium-sized, independent family business Walter Neff GmbH has developed from a craft business into a global player with over 6,000 presses sold worldwide and around 45 employees at the Karlsruhe site. The range includes the entire spectrum of hydraulic presses, state-of-the-art forming systems, highly efficient production systems and turnkey solutions
Objectives:
A new concept with energy-saving servo technology is created and thus the next generation of hydraulic press drives. The new concept increases efficiency and sustainability. The aim was to take advantage of the new technology and maintain the flexibility of the already proven solutions. The engines and power units are individually adapted to the customer's requirements.

The switch to efficient servo technology is worthwhile: Stahlwille expects energy savings of up to 40%, depending on the workpiece – and at the same time benefits from higher work and process reliability of up to 80%. This groundbreaking machine solution was developed and implemented by Walter Neff GmbH Maschinenbau.
