New
Boston, MI - LaserCoil Technologies
has received an order for a LaserCoil coil-fed blanking system from SET
Enterprises, a processor of flat-rolled metal primarily for the automotive industry. The
2100mm-wide dual-head system, featuring two 6kW lasers, is being installed at
the company's New Boston facility, where SET processes blanks for the
automotive industry.
"LaserCoil’s
solutions give SET
the ability to provide their customers with superior blank quality in all
grades of advanced engineered materials," says Victor Edozien, chairman
and CEO of SET. "This capability is critical in an increasingly dynamic
automotive industry that is transitioning to support advanced high-strength
steels and aluminum alloys. The capability and flexibility of LaserCoil's
system, in combination with SET's operating experience, gives us the
manufacturing agility and responsiveness to rapidly meet our customers' most
complex metal processing needs.
"In
addition to the advanced processing capabilities provided by the LaserCoil
hardware, their control system and laser blanking operating system software
allow us to maximize our blanking efficiency. Our lines will deliver solutions
to our customers in a fraction of the time required by traditional
blanking."
An
additional benefit of the software programming capabilities is the ability to
maximize raw material usage and reduce scrap. As automotive OEMs increase the
use of aluminum and advanced high-strength steels, optimizing metal processing
yields and reducing scrap is a critical consideration.
