At the Imtex Forming 2016 held at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre in January, Bernd Dietz, Metal Forming in charge from Siemens Germany took time off to discuss his views and plans for Siemens India with The Machinist. By Pushpendra Shukla

Why should one invest in a Servo Press?
A very good question. We get this query from OEMs always and sometimes even their end customers. The idea of Servo Press is flexibility and productivity. Though the investment is larger it is important to note that the productivity levels increase and the rate of return is far higher in a shorter period of time.

Slightly expanding, Servo Press can run a larger number of tools and customers who were hesitant to use this are now happy as they see a large number of tools and flexibility.  The investment in one Servo Press can give a return of say two old style presses. It is definitely important to note that flexibility and productivity are the key over here.

Where could an end customer get more information about your solutions or even see a servo press that is based on Siemens products and solutions?
In India, Siemens has a branch presence so the technology is offered by Germany. There is a metal forming group that supports local Siemens offices like India and I am usually in touch and close contact with the offices and supporting them. Eventually, the offices take the lead and we assist them in every way possible.

If someone is interested, our head office in Germany and the India offices are always available to talk or help. For anyone who is keen to see our solutions deployed in our OEMs, Pune based Electropneumatics & Hydraulics (India) Pvt. Ltd. - who have our systems - can be contacted.
