New automated UHSS slitting line for SSAB
Fagor Arrasate, a specialist in the design and manufacture of slitting and cut-to-length lines, will supply a complete fully automated slitting line for Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) to SSAB, one of the world's leading steel companies.
“With a speed of 150m/min, the line can process the most resistant steels, with high yield strength (1500N/mm2), with coils of up to 6mm thick and 1550mm wide. Quick change of the cutting tools and position of the separators is carried out automatically. This shortens machine set-up times and reduces manual operations, improving ergonomics and safety for operators. The equipment also has a scraper to revalue surplus scrap,” said Jon Zubillaga, Sales Director for Central Europe, Fagor Arrasate.
Fagor Arrasate designs and manufactures tailor-made solutions for the forming of steel, aluminium and stainless steel, including presses, coil cutting and processing lines, and complete systems for manufacturing complex metal parts. It also specialises in composite forming, hot and cold forging systems and press hardening. See http://www.fagorarrasate.com/
