Mechanical or hydraulic tryout presses are best suited for use in die testing and start-up before volume production begins. At this point in time the line operator has the full press capacity available and, as required, can perform a precisely controlled closing of upper and lower die. As regards size/capacity, performance specifications, and detailed equipment options, tryout presses from Schuler can be perfectly adapted to the specific requirements of die testing, tryout, and pilot lot production runs.
