Modern cutting line in a plate-finishing section

Abstract

Providing cutting lines with new-generation shears that have an arcuate top blade and employ a so-called “rolling cut” ensures plates’ geometric and dimensional accuracy (by narrowing the width and length tolerances, preventing oblique cuts, forming clean edges, reducing plate curvature, etc.). Plate production costs are reduced through the use of an efficient cutting method and dual trimmers, a reduction in the amount of production space and staff required, and combination of the trimmers and cross-cutting shears into one unit. The equipment designed for new plate-cutting lines at the Novokramatorskii Mashinostroitel’nyi Zavod meets all of these requirements.
