Efficiency improvement of cut-to-length lines by developing a new generation of stracker, uncoilers and control and operation systems for stockholders

Objective

Stockholders are companies which produce steel, aluminium, stainless steel blanks or blanks made of other material in required number and dimensions for their customers. These blanks are produced by a cut to length line. The industrial problem is the poor overall production efficiency for cut to length lines of about 25 % . The objective of the project is to develop prototypes of a new generation of stackers, uncovers and control and operation systems to increase the efficiency of a cut to length to 50 %. Brit/Euram Areas covered by the proposal are area 1.1, 1.4 and 1.5
