Production launched on line for massive ring blanks
Flanschenwerk Bebitz, Germany’s largest manufacturer of flanges, has successfully launched production on a new line for the manufacturing of ring blanks. The press was supplied by Schuler and boasts a press force of 3,500 tons. It will produce blanks for the manufacturing of seamless flanges on ring rolling lines. The parts have a weight of up to a ton and are produced at a temperature of around 1,200°C in a continuous three-stage process (upsetting – pre-forming/pre-piercing – piercing). Centering and transport of the parts through the three stages of the press is handled by a heavy-load transfer system, also made by Schuler.
High operating speeds in connection with fast press unloading – thanks to a patented filling valve – lead to short die contact times and high output levels. The optimized machine concept enables cycle times of approx. 45 seconds – even with heavy parts.
