Coil processing line requirements are ever more demanding on account of the increasing use of modern materials. High- strength aluminum – highly resilient and extraordinarily flexible – is opening up entirely new possibilities in industries like automotive and aerospace, but it is extremely hard to process. Especially in sheet processing and assembly, precision and cut quality matter if you want to avoid failed batches. But much of the ma- chinery introduced over the years lacks the capability to cut modern materials with enough precision due to customer requirements for thickness and width in the geometrics of the slit strip. That's why Manfred J.C. Niemann Zentrale KG added a new Burghardt + Schmidt wide-material slitting line to its machine fleet in late 2018. The new line is designed to process particularly wide aluminum coils of 800 to 2,100 mm. And thanks to high- precision shears and a circumferential setting mechanism on the coiler, it can also set an outer diameter of 1,850 mm efficiently and accurately.
