Abstract

AS ONE IMPORTANT PART OF THE MODERNIZATION AND UPGRADING PLAN FOR THEIR EXISTING ROLLING MILL, A BRAZILIAN CUSTOMER DECIDED TO INSTALL A HIGH-PERFORMANCE ABRASIVE CUT-OFF MACHINE FROM BRAUN TO REPLACE AN EXISTING FRICTION. ROLLING MILLS ARE STILL USING SHEARS OR FRICTION SAWS DOWNSTREAM THE PROCESS UNTIL REACHING FINAL PRODUCT LENGTH. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THESE METHODS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS. THE INCREASED THROUGHPUT AND FLEXIBILITY, A HIGH DEGREE OF AUTOMATION AND AN IMPROVED QUALITY OF THE CUT PRODUCTS WERE SUBSTANTIAL ADVANTAGES OF ABRASIVE CUT-OFF MACHINES, OF THE EQUIPMENT JUST STARTED OPERATION BEGINNING OF MAY THIS YEAR
