You are responsible for efficiency, sustainability and productivity within the context of metal forming? Would you like to learn how to optimize your tools for maximum output in a time-saving and press-oriented manner? If so, I am pleased to engage in a dialog with you.
My name is Richard Stauder and I would like to welcome you to www.FormingExperience.de.
My mission is to improve productivity and profitability in press shops.
Through perfect mastery of the drive and tooling technology, my aim is to achieve top results in terms of productivity in sheet metal forming jointly and in partnership with you. That's what I do - with a hot heart as well as a cool mind.
Competitiveness in relation to your competitors is my ultimate goal. Utilizing ingenious apps and years of practical experience in the sheet metal forming industry, together we will navigate to maximum efficiency in your press shop - become the benchmark for your competitors or within your own group.
EXCELLENCE IN METAL FORMING
NEW IDEAS THAT BOOST YOUR MIND
IINTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
Neutrality
and partnership
Curiosity and creative grumbling are the wings of productivity.
Without bias, with our combined experience and knowledge, we create progress. You want an independent expert view and technical evaluation for a new or replacement machine? Support, also in
international production networks, with sensitivity for cultural differences? If so, you have reached the right place.
Benchmark
and Best Practice
How are you performing and what is the best way to reach your goal?
Benchmark against an independent and neutral expert and make your current performance visible. Determining your position with an integral view of the system consisting of machine, mold and
process reveals both: current bottlenecks and unexploited opportunities. Effective action and measures for improvement can be derived directly from this.
But also in the case of new tool start-ups or the commissioning of a new press. I support you during this turbulent period and ensure that the nominal performance is reached for acceptance, while
you can start production with optimal settings right from the very beginning.
Simulation and apps
Why should an external "consultant" come up with so much better results?
Being able to look ahead and evaluate alternatives quickly, this is the advantage of simulation and the smart use of algorithms. This makes the difference and leads to excellent results. The
application of the self-developed apps ranges from virtual kinematic tool simulation and off-center load evaluation in the design phase of tools over motion optimization directly at the press to
profitability and return-on-investment calculations for an economical evaluation.
Hands-on mentality
"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do (J.W. v.Goethe)
The structural-mechanical design of presses and drive engineering in a mechatronic sense are the basis of my press-oriented consulting and optimization services. However, only when I stand in
front of a press do I really feel at home. Here, the driven stroke rate can be experienced in reality. Whether it's progressive or transfer technology - the primary goal is to exploit the full
potential of your press line. Nevertheless, also when it comes to coordinating details between production and engineering or to establishing design guidelines, it often helps to have a neutral
view with a tangible statement.
Networking
And what is the most exciting aspect of my business travels? ... meeting like-minded people.
You are looking for a supplier or want a recommendation for a process partner? You are about to start a new Industry 4.0 / IoT project and you are looking for someone who speaks the language of
programmers and forming practitioners? After almost 20 years of experience in press and tool making as well as in process and stroke rate optimization, I can look back on many good, international
contacts and relationships and will gladly share them.
Trends –
State oft he Art
Solutions of others are rarely successful by simple adaptation - because the thoughts that led to them are rarely known.
When it comes to "best practice", it is important to consider the corporate context - one could say the corporate culture. And as we all know, the difficulty lies not in having new ideas, but in
getting rid of the old ones. Implementing diverse industry and technology knowledge for your needs in an agile way also brings you new dynamics.
Whether through consulting services or training, customized and tailored solutions bring a breath of fresh air and new mindsets to your business.
The digital obvi family – consisting of Hashtag#obviFORCE, Hashtag#obviCALC, and Hashtag#obviFLOW – optimizes the entire planning and production process in forming technology.
With obviFORCE, press selection becomes significantly easier thanks to precise calculations of force buildup and stage forces. At the same time, the tool helps reduce tool tilting and blanking shock – leading to longer tool life and improved part quality. Its intuitive interface also shortens design time.
obviCALC supports process planning, especially in the calculation and optimization of transfer curves. For collision and clearance checks, obviFLOW offers a kinematic press simulation (KPS). This enables a better, cross-departmental understanding of complex tooling concepts and helps avoid costly design changes. It also enhances sales processes by allowing production data to be presented using realistic stroke rates instead of just tool specifications.
Process and stroke rate optimization also benefit from obviCALC. With smart motion optimization, setup technicians work more efficiently, and new employees can be trained faster. Setup times are reduced, motions are better synchronized – improving overall performance: more good parts, higher stroke rates, and lower energy consumption per part.
