When processed steel is complete and ready to be shipped, it needs to be packaged, banded or wrapped before leaving the mill. Banding lines, which are also known as coil packaging lines, are vital to your operation as it doesn’t matter how quickly you handle the slit coils or blanks, if you can’t get them off the line and packaged quickly, it will slow down your operation.
A press blanking line is specially designed for the high-quality demands of the automotive and fabricating industries, including suppliers of “surface exposed” panels and other auxiliary sectors. The need for cutting blanks adapted to the final shape of the part has given rise to a bigger demand in press blanking lines.
At American Steel Products, we believe in educating our clients on the various types of machinery we offer. The cut to length lineis one such product. Understanding the complexities of each piece of equipment and how it can be tailored to your business can help you select the right company to help with your needs. We can help you find new or used equipment built to your specifications to meet your demands.
Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a new shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining. This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages.
