EPHJ 2026: High-Precision Presses for the Watch Industry and Precision Engineering
At EPHJ 2026 in Geneva, SCHMIDT Technology showcased exciting solutions for high-precision manufacturing in watchmaking and precision engineering from June 16 to 19. Geneva, as the heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry, was the perfect venue for this. SCHMIDT® presses have a long tradition in precision engineering production, yet we are not resting on our laurels. We showcased several innovations designed to help our customers optimize their production lines.
The highlight was the new and compact high-precision SCHMIDT® ServoPress 602, featuring the SCHMIDT® SmartGuard safety concept, mounted on a PU 20 press base and equipped with the SCHMIDT® PressControl 700 control system,
The force-stroke-monitored SCHMIDT® ManualPress 307 hand-lever press with SCHMIDT® PressControl 700 bridges the gap between manual force and real-time monitoring of good and defective parts.
Classic models, such as the 13RFZ toggle-lever press (with return stroke lock, fine adjustment, and counter), the 5RZ and 3HRZ rack-and-pinion presses, have been enhanced with our new stroke release feature for even greater safety (shown here on the 3HRZ model) as well as the new SCHMIDT® PartProtector with force limiter on the 5RZ rack-and-pinion press.
As always, it was a great pleasure for us to be able to assist interested trade visitors with our expertise.
