LaserCoil Technologies to supply blanking system to Worthington Specialty Processing
- November 26, 2014
- News Release
- Shop Management
LaserCoil Technologies LLC, Perrysburg, Ohio, has received an order for a coil-fed blanking system from Worthington Specialty Processing (WSP), a toll processor for the automotive industry. The 2,100-mm-wide, dual-head system, featuring two 6-kW lasers, is being installed at the company’s Jackson, Mich., facility to expand capacity in the production of advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and aluminum blanks.
The system is designed to enable production changeovers in less than a day. Gantry-mounted laser heads stationed in multiple cutting cells travel along the moving strip to balance the workload. The system’s dynamic profile conveyor features adjustable lanes that support the coil strip while automatically repositioning as needed to clear a path for the laser cut. This feature also facilitates gravity-shedding of scrap and offal, delivering only totally finished blanks at the end of the process.
The blanking line, which will include leveling equipment supplied by the Automatic Feed Co., Napoleon, Ohio, is expected to be running production by early 2016.
