GFU - Maschinenbau GmbH
Bitburg Germany
All-electric forming machine for the production of rotor shaft blanks for
e-cars to sustainably support e-mobility
Complete replacement of hydraulic drive technology with servo-electric
drive systems
Active personal support from Siemens engineers, including technical
solutions for the entire drive train
Use of the SIMOTICS T-1FW3 torque motor in conjunction with the SINAMICS
S120 liquid-cooled frequency converter in chassis design
TIA Selection Tool, TIA Portal, SINAMICS Startdrive
The Siemens drive solution replaced the hydraulic drive in the
high-performance segment, bringing the customer multiple advantages: Short
cycle durations, significantly reduced production times, quiet forming, energy
savings of approx. 10–20 %, high positioning accuracy, improved
reproducibility, faster forming processes, precise data tracking
With our servo-electric press solution, we save our customers a lot of
time and money.
Michael Roderich, Managing Director at GFU - Maschinenbau GmbH
Shorter production times, significant energy savings
Data tracking
Improved torque control including superimposed upsetting force control
Exact positioning and reproducibility
Increased efficiency
Due to the electrification of former
hydraulic applications for the first time – as requested by end users and OEMs
– sustainability, dynamics and high repeatability are core challenges for the
machine
