Our traditional quality trademark SCHLEIFSTEIN has been continuously established on the mar-ket since 1896. SCHLEIFSTEIN, this stands for heavy-duty machines.

We are living our responsibility against our cus-tomers from the first design idea to the last ser-vice after decades of continuous operation. …

For us machine manufacturing is team work on all levels and at any time.

Machine manufacturing is our passion and we have always a long-term interest in our customers.

The SCHLEIFSTEIN product range today is a re-sult of more than 100 years of experience and specialisation.

SCHLEIFSTEIN is the technology leader in its fields. Our familiy business is dedicated for the world market.

The location in Siegen, right in the middle of Germany and Europe, is a center of the metal processing industry and the machine manufac-turing industry.

Here we find excellent conditions and struc-tures to fulfill our aims, to locally and globally organize and execute professional engineering and services for our customers.

Customers worldwide rely on the market-ori-entated machine programme of SCHLEIFSTEIN and the reliable and innovative solutions for metal processing and automation.

SCHLEIFSTEIN – this means more than 75 years of experience in the design of head manufactu-ring lines. In close partnership with our custo-mers – professional head manufacturers world-wide – we permanently continue developing our machines.

Today SCHLEIFSTEIN is by far the technology leader für the manufacturing procedures dishing and flanging of tank heads. Machines by SCHLEIFSTEIN are heavy-duty machines.

Our SCHLEIFSTEIN-PlayBack-control ensures a large manufacturing output at a high repetitive accuracy. This goes for the dishing as well as for the flanging procedure.

With the help of R&D over many years we ma-naged to transport the operator’s know-how of free-shape forming to the machine control. Pro-cesses with a repetitive accurancy and constant quality are the decisive lead for our customers.

The unique electronic gap control by SCHLEIF-STEIN allows a very exact flanging at a mini-mum of material thinning. An optimized use of material is the advantage in competition.

Head manufacturing lines by SCHLEIFSTEIN are customized. Specify your requirement and we show you the solution.

While having all the technical progress our cus-tomers can count on the quality and efficiency of our machines and equipments at any time.

Ship building presses by SCHLEIFSTEIN are real multi-talents. On these presses 3-dimensionally cold-formed segments made of steel or alumi-nium plates for the ship building industry are made.

With a limited number of simple forming dies nearly all possible freely formed shapes can be manufactured – sequential forming with auto-mation.

Due to the flexible handling of dies and work pieces all possible forming procedures are ap-plied: pressing I spinning I rolling I stretching I levelling I bending I lifing I dishing …

The presses are working with or without mani-pulator. The crane manipulators are integrated into the press control. Depending on the applica-tion full-gantry or semi-gantry cranes are used.

The ship building press gets a roll press unit in a few steps only.

smt | 2D- / 3D-Segment Manufacturing

Constructions made of sheet metal, such as e. g. thick-walled, elliptical or spherical vessel heads, spherical tanks or other voluminous sheet metal shapes are assembled from individual seg-ments.

The use of deep-drawing presses or deep-dra-wing dies reaches very quickly its technical and commercial limits. Other procedures, such as round bending, cannot manage 3-dimensional forming.

Large and / or thick-walled segments can be ma-nufactured efficiently only in a sequential or par-tial forming process. As with the ship building

presses simple forming dies are used here as well. Additionally drawing dies are applied. The segment press can also be used for hot forming.

The crane manipulators are integrated in the control and operating system of the press. As an option the PlayBack-control allows an auto-matic run of the segment production. In addi-tion an automatic dishing manipulator can be provided.

smt | cleaning technology

Coil washers & blank washers by SCHLEIFSTEIN guarantee high quality and constant processes in coil lines and press lines.

SCHLEIFSTEIN is the pioneer for the cleaning of car body parts prior to the forming process. For more than 35 years we have been developing and manufacturing cleaning systems especially for press lines and coil lines in the automotive industry as well as for similar applications. Ha-ving this large variety and number of machines supplied so far we can consider ourselves as technology leader in our field.

Our washers are in permanent operation in many production lines worldwide. They are well-known for their excellent cleaning result also when having critical surface conditions.

The machines amortize in a very short time as they decisively improve the availability and qua-lity of the subsequent processes.

Blanks and coils leave our machine in a best-cle-aned way with a homogenous surface that after-wards only makes a constant process possible.

We are looking for the best solution for your new or already existing production line. Extend the life time of your dies and minimize your scrap output.

10 smt | schleifstein

As alternative to the washing machines (wet-washing procedure) our newly developed dry-cleaning machine is especially destined for the use in press shops.

The cross brush cleaner is used where blanks and coils with light to medium surface dirt must be cleaned prior to the forming process or further processing. The dry-cleaning process has been well-tried also for car outer panels. Moreover, for certain applications no washers can be used.

The costs for investment and operation for a cross brush cleaner are lower compared to a washing machine.

The SCHLEIFSTEIN cross brush cleaner, as expec-ted from us, is a solid design for permanent ope-ration in press shops. It is known for its compact and maintenance-friendly design as well as for a high degree of automation. The cleaning func-tion is continuously controlled and adjusted by means of special sensors and actors.

And if your process requires any oiling after cleaning, we then supply our cross brush cleaner in combination with our leading spray lubrica- tion technology out of one hand …

smt | Oiling Technology

As much as required, as little as possible …

smt | schleifstein 11

For many years we have consequently followed the tendency to go away from full-surface oiling towards a specific, minimum use of deep-drawing media. Today we are a leading supplier for spray lubri-cation systems for the automotive industry.

SCHLEIFSTEIN-spray lubrication systems are used if blanks or coils should be sprayed with exact quantities on exact positions, also at higher or high passing speeds, without adding to the pollution of the environment. Spray lubrication systems ensure a best support of the forming process and saving required media.

Depending on the requirement the oiling is done on one side or both sides as well as on the full surface or partially. In the standard case 4 different intensities can be freely programmed across the spray grid.

The operation and the functions of the spray lubrication system are automated. The SCHLEIFSTEIN-spray visualisation ensures a simple, graphic programming of the spray patterns.

SCHLEIFSTEIN-spray lubrication systems are supplied as stand-alone machines or in combination with a washer, cross brush cleaner or any other conveyor technology.

Typically our cleaning and oiling machines are integrated into automated systems. We supply individual components for this and we seam-lessly adapt to every system.

This flexibility is our major strength and it goes for new production lines as well as for the retro-fit of existing lines.

The reasonable but reliable SCHLEIFSTEIN blank conveyors for steel or aluminium blanks are well-tried. They are known for their reliability and easy maintenance.

In addition to this we also supply further com-ponents for the press shop automation as far as complete automation cells.

smt | Retrofit

New performance

Modernisation of existing machines and equipments is a growing busi-ness. Compared to new machines, older machines usually come off with less performance with respect to productivity and consumption of mate-rials and energy. Although the solid mechanics of the SCHLEIFSTEIN ma-chines is still in a good condition.

SCHLEIFSTEIN Maschinentechnik offers the retrofit of existing machines to the state-of-the-art to avoid high investments for new machines and downtime of production.
