Experience Cutting-Edge Tooling Know-how – Tailored for Tomorrow’s Press Hardening Experts
This advanced, hands-on training in tooling builds upon the foundational knowledge from our basic course and dives deep into the sophisticated world of tool design and engineering in Press Hardening Technology (PHT).
Starting from a given component geometry, our seasoned trainers guide participants through each critical step required to develop high-performance PHS tools – from conceptual design to functional implementation.
We focus on state-of-the-art virtual engineering tools such as FEM and CAD, with special emphasis on precision cooling concepts – a decisive factor for tool efficiency and product quality. Participants explore design philosophies, typical error sources, and the strategic selection of advanced tool materials.
Real-world case studies from Schuler's toolmaking expertise round off the experience. Guided tours provide exclusive insights into Try-Out operations, tool setting, and a fully operational PHS production line, offering a close-up view of high-efficiency processes in action.
