Shearing lines

After the plates have attained the proper flatness, they are transported to the stamping and marking machine.

Stamping with letters and numbers can be made in six lines and colour coding is possible in three lines.

The first shear is a double edge trimmer in which both plate edges are cut to the desired width.

The plate is exactly positioned by laser and moved step by step through the trimming shear.

The ultrasonic testing units check the internal quality of the finished plate. Testing covers 100% of the plate surface.

The results are documented and automatically compared with the specifications. This method provides for precise monitoring of the internal quality of our plates.

The next unit in line is the transverse shear where the plate is cut to the proper length and samples are taken.

The plate samples are automatically put into a sorting bin and sent to the testing shop.

At a specific inspection cabin the plate surface on the bottom side is visually checked.

Subsequently the plates are transported directly to the finished product storage.

Our plates are transported to our customers by boat, rail and truck.

Worldwide shipping of the plates begins in the company harbour on the Danube and from there either via the Rhine-Main-Danube Channel to Rotterdam or on the Danube to the Black Sea.
