SCHWABEStraight Ram Beam Press with Dievac System
SCHWABE uses vacuum to precompress various types of materials prior to cutting on SCHWABE Beam Press
therefore eliminating material movement and insuring accurately cut parts.
- large volume processing of automotive interior trim components
- achieved with great precision and excellent material efficiency
- using Ontario Die International's Dievac system on a SCHWABE progressive feed beam press.
- used for cutting laminated fabrics and vinyl in multiple layers in widths up to 2M wide.

SCHWABE USA Straight Ram Hydraulic Beam Press with InFeed and OutFeed Conveyors for Full
Hide Leather Cutting.
Used with a large die board with hand placed tools for cutting a single ply of material or multiple layers of material. Index
feed accuracy up to 1/32" for precise cutting. Press can feed die boards and material from both sides of the press
increasing throughput and productivity.
Over 20 die boards with material can be cycled through the press per hour. The tool could also be head mounted and the
press operates as an automatic progressive feed press, again with extremely tight index tolerances can be achievable.
