Since more than 30 years, Schafer has specialised in solutions for bending of very strong steel like Hardox, Weldox, Armox and Dipro.

“Our tools with a maximum load capacity of over 1.500 tonnes per meter can be produced for every press brake machine on the market,” a company spokesman says.
“Our customers in Germany and many export markets are bending special strong and thick materials on press brake machines with up to  5.700 tonnes pressing force  and bending lengths of more than 20 meters.”
Schafer customers work in the offshore industry and build bodies for trucks, ships, cranes, agricultural vehicles, power plants, light-poles and all kinds of tubes and many more.
“Very often, we support and advise our customers from the very beginning of their projects until bending in practice of large series.”
With our special dies with hardened rollers, we offer solutions for bending with a reduced need of pressure force. Machines with not sufficient pressure power can be “tuned” with our special die by which they can increase the pressure up to 30 per cent.
“By use of exchangeable inserts the V-openings can be varied for many different applications by using the same set of tools. Another substantial advantage of our adjustable dies with hardened rollers is the cheap and simple way to change the rollers.
“Using a normal die, the inlet radii of the V-openings either have to be reconditioned regularly – if possible – or, the customer has to invest in a totally new die.”
In excavator or crane production, Schafer is experienced in the production of tools that have long durability.
For these bending jobs, the company only use special German tool steel of a very high quality.
