Also, we have increased the plate advance of each cut and the number of cuts to 35 strokes per minute in order to increase productivity of the shearing line. To improve the shape of the cutting edges, we have implemented a horizontal and a vertical knife gap adjustment system. With this system the cutting gap can be continuously adjusted according to the thickness and quality of the material. Our X-Pact^® Plate Cutting Optimization ensures best cuts for production of the finished plate by adapting the cutting schedule for maximum yield.
