The Czech steel service center Rosso Steel has commissioned Schuler with a Laser Blanking Line. The LBL 2.21 (for Body Panel) will be constructed at the Zaječí location and is the first Schuler Laser Blanking Line in the Czech Republic. The newly commissioned facility can handle coil weights up to a maximum of 30 tons and process strip widths from 400 millimeters to 2,150 millimeters and strip thicknesses from 0.6 millimeters to 3.0 millimeters, with a maximum strip speed of 60 meters per minute. The Laser Blanking Line also features two laser cutting heads, each with a rated power of 4 kilowatts, and operates at a cutting speed of up to 100 meters per minute.
Economic efficiency and efficiency
According to the manufacturer, laser blanking lines are particularly suitable for production processes with frequent product changes. The system is designed to produce both outer skin blanks and structural parts in high product quality.
Another aspect that speaks in favor of the Schuler Laser Blanking Line is its good material utilization, ensuring economic efficiency and effectiveness. This is achieved through improved nesting on the material strip, by eliminating the separation strips between the plates, combining different parts on the material strip, and positioning the plates at various angles. This optimized arrangement reduces waste and maximizes the use of material, thereby enhancing the overall productivity and reducing costs associated with raw materials.
Reliable and punctual
With high standards, the Czech steel service center relies on punctual just-in-time deliveries from its two warehouses. With its own fleet of trucks and good rail connections at both centers, the goods can be delivered quickly and via the shortest route to the customers. Here too, the new plant technology from Schuler will be an important component in terms of reliability.
Rosso Steel continually invests in its plants to provide the best possible services to its customers and maintain a high standard across all processes. With the new technology from Schuler, they aim to take another step towards increasing effectiveness and speeding up manufacturing processes.
It is clear: economic efficiency is a prerequisite for any manufacturing process. According to the manufacturer, the Laser Blanking Line eliminates tool-related downtime or increased changeover times, and the system typically only stops briefly during a coil change. Consequently, this technology generally has a higher OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)—meaning it has greater overall equipment effectiveness compared to conventional cutting systems. The production start of the new facility is scheduled for early November 2025.
