ThyssenKrupp Stahl-Service-Center invests in new blanking line
ThyssenKrupp Stahl-Service-Center, a company of the Materials Services business area, has added to its processing capabilities. A new blanking line, in operation at the Mannheim steel service center since August, offers customers from a variety of sectors new possibilities for producing very small blanks. It can cut 0.4 to 3 millimeter thick slit strip into lengths from 200 to 2,500 millimeters and widths from 80 to 650 millimeters.
Processing capabilities expanded
“The investment in the blanking line expands our capabilities and means we can offer our customers a new process step. We are convinced that the additional service to produce small custom blanks will be of great value, particularly to our customers in the automotive supply industry,” said Marcus Wöhl, CEO of ThyssenKrupp Stahl-Service-Center.
Customers profit from custom blanks with very close tolerances, optimum edge quality and precise squareness. In addition there are time and setup advantages through single-source combined slitting and cutting to length. To meet individual needs, various packaging options exist for the parts made on the new blanking line, from automatic multiple stacking on pallets to packaging in returnable containers.
Anyone interested can find out about the capabilities of the new ThyssenKrupp Stahl-Service-Center blanking line personally by visiting booth E 33 in hall 17 at the Euroblech show in Hanover from October 21 to 25.
