Sheet metal measuring system
For rolling mills and sheet metal processing companies, recorded product quality control is crucial - after all, high-quality end products are to be manufactured. Instead of time-consuming manual checks, we have developed an automated sheet metal measuring system that can be used as a mobile full gantry, either as a stand-alone solution with a sheet support table or integrated into production lines.
We configure your machine entirely according to your requirements!
- Practice-oriented system concept with high-quality measuring technology
- Measurement of sheet length, width and thickness
- Measurement of the cladding thickness of roll- or blast-clad sheets
- Detection of the sheet shape (sabre shape, constriction, bulge)
- Detection of sheet curvature in the transverse direction (flatness)
- High measuring accuracy and reproducibility thanks to linear axes
- Stable machine construction with servo drive technology
- Main control system with complete control panel based on Siemens S7
- Data recording with measurement protocol according to customer requirements
- Minimization of the measurement error rate
- Time and cost savings
- Remote maintenance module for fast support
Plate bending press
Perfectly bent sheet metal edges for large pipe production: A sheet metal bending press from AWS Schäfer makes it possible for you.
Our latest generation of machines offers up to 35,000 kN press force and a forming length of up to 1,200 mm to bend high-strength materials on both sides in a short cycle time.
- Sheet centering during forming
- Reduced number of tool sets thanks to an innovative tool concept
- Easy adaptation to a wide variety of tools thanks to a user-friendly tool change concept
- Practice-proven tool design for perfect bending results and long tool life
Pipe calibration press
Skillfully mastering high requirements: With our pipe calibration press, you can meet international specifications (such as API 5 L, ASME/ASTM, GOST) and high shape tolerances. Efficient calibration of longitudinally welded large-diameter pipes - take advantage of our pipe calibration press!
- High-quality and fast straightening process of the pipes for straightness
- Tight roundness tolerances even with thin wall thicknesses
- Simple operation thanks to fully automatic process control system, optionally with automatic measuring system for the pipe ends
- Possibility of pipe manipulation during the calibration process
- Cost-effective and flexible tool concept with time-saving tool change and increased tool service life
- Possibility of plastic circumference reduction of pipes
Pipe end milling machines
Solve all tasks with one machine: The CNC pipe end milling machines from AWS Schäfer perform circular processing of pipe ends for inductively bent pipe elbows, straight pipes, T-pieces and other cylindrical components for optimum weld seam preparation.
The double-sided milling machine for LSAW large-diameter pipes can enable synchronized machining of both pipe ends in just one clamping operation. More productivity. Highest machining quality. For pipe bending companies, we also offer a special solution with a double clamping device that efficiently machines a wide range of pipe bends and other cylindrical components.
- Heavy, stable and vibration-damping design
- Precise and reproducible weld seam preparation
- Simultaneous processing of both pipe ends in one clamping operation
- Designed as a single solution or in an automated production line
- Double workpiece clamping device for pipe bends to reduce production costs and increase productivity
- Clean metallic surface of the edges and high geometric accuracy
- Consistently uniform welding root face dimensions thanks to the pipe end circumference copying function
