LASER BLANKING WITH DYNAMICFLOW TECHNOLOGY. DIE-FREE BLANKING IN THE PRESS SHOP. DynamicFlow Technology (DFT) is the highly productive, die-free blanking by lasers, directly from a continuously running steel or aluminum coil. BLANKING WITHOUT ANY DIES. Armed with many years of experience in automotive industry requirements, a highly flexible and productive Schuler has succeeded in using extremely powerful fiber manufacturing system could be created, which posed lasers for the CNC-based, continuous blanking of the coiled a milestone in the manufacturing chain of state-of-the-art material.

REQUIREMENTS ON SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY / LASER BLANKING LINES BLANK MANUFACTURING TODAY. DIES FORM THE PROCESS. Around 20 to 30 % of the dies used in press shops in today’s industry are used for cutting blanks for subsequent forming. The shape defines the process. As such, single blank shapes such as rectangular, rhomboidal and trapezoidal blanks tend to be manufactured on fast-running blanking systems with shears or on systems with a press equipped with an oscillating die. Owing to the low requirements placed on manufacturing, a great deal of OEMs purchase such blanks from external supply companies....

THE FUTURE IN THE PRESS SHOP. LASER BLANKING. Maximum flexibility in the contour design. The blank contours In today’s industry, the shape and degree of material are programmed during laser blanking to a programming utilization of a blank are also subject to the limitations station belonging to the system. These contours can be of the die design. Numerous workpieces are manufactured downloaded, as well as modified and saved at any time. simply from rectangles or trapezoids, as they involve The resulting flexibility significantly accelerates the devel- straightforward manufacturing processes....

THE FUTURE IN THE PRESS SHOP / LASER BLANKING LINES Up to 90% of blank costs are determined by the material Increased profit in the press shop. Profitability is paramount price. If you wish to reduce such costs, the most significant to each and every manufacturing process. Blank costs leverage is played by reducing scrap. Even a reduced scrap are not only defined by blanking costs but also particularly proportion of 1% can lead to savings of up to 1 million euros by the material, quality, die maintenance, production time, per year on a blanking line. personnel and logistics. If one considers...

THE LINE. LASER BLANKING WITH DYNAMICFLOW TECHNOLOGY. Material feed from the coil. The setup time-optimized feed line for coils up to 35 tons and coil widths of up to 2,150 mm ensures smooth material transport, a high level of flatness and optimum material feed in the laser cell. The CNC programs for blank contours are created offline using user-friendly system software. All product-specific parameters can be easily downloaded and changed in no time at all. Laser cell. In the laser cell, three highly dynamic and simultaneously moving laser blanking heads cut the programmed blank contour from...
