The latest milestone in B+S history is the development and sale of a high performance, high-precision slitting line for wide materials complete with automatic packing line.
B+S, the mechanical engineering company specializing in the cutting of thin and delicate material already started expanding its product range from slitting lines and stretch-bend leveling lines to the processing of wide materials.
The line in development deals with the slitting of aluminum materials with a very delicate surface and an automatic packing line.
The raw material with a width of 1900 mm will be cut into 50 individual strips. The line speed reaching 600 m/min can handle material varying between 0,3 mm – 2,0 mm.
The line will be equipped with a vacuum brake roll so that strips with a highly delicate surface can be processed.
An electrostatic oiling unit is integrated into the brake frame so that the strips can be oiled both on top and underneath.
A flying cut-to-length shear is situated at the entry side of the line to cut scrap pieces at the beginning and the end of the coil.
Part of this line are an edge trimming shear as well as two changeable slitter stand so, that test cuts can be made outside the line.
To round off this line there is a complete automatic packing line with strapping table, weighing station, vacuum suction plate as well as two stacking places with roller ways to transport the coils stacked on pallets.
This line will start production at the Austrian company AMAG in January 2012.

While the strip thickness tolerances were a significant criterion for the quality assessment of strip material in the eighties and nineties, significant improvements in controls and automation have made good thickness control a given among suppliers.
During this past fall, we installed our first two – Model A3000 Isotope Thickness Gauges in Mexico. The application was for stainless steel on a heavy-duty reversing mill with 24/7 operation.

The well-proven BFI version shape measurement roll has undergone a design change that improves its ability to measure the tensions profile on flat product without marking the strip. The detectors have been redesigned to fit into the roll while leaving the surface of the roll completely clear of machined marks. This eliminates the former problems associated with the axially installed sensors.
