Shear blade change in less than one minute

Unforeseen shear blade changes in a continuously running strip processing line, causes production downtime involving high costs and considerable additional work. Unplanned rework, loss of quality, high quantities of scrap and dissatisfaction are the result. hpl-Neugnadenfelder Maschinenfabrik GmbH has taken on this task and, in close cooperation with Risse + Wilke Kaltband GmbH & Co. KG, a renowned manufacturer of quenched and tempered strip steel, has developed a quick-change shear that is characterized by precision, simple operation and a compact design.
