Kloeckner Metals Germany’s warehouse in Kaufungen, near Kassel, has started operating a newly-installed laser-cutting machine, Kallanish learns from the company.
With a laser power of 30kW and a working space for parts of up to 2.5 x 6 metres, the machine figures as one of the biggest and most powerful of its kind, Kloeckner claims. It opens “an all-new dimension of highly efficient steel and metals processing,” it says in a press release. The company has long been emphasising its shift from mere distribution to value-added services.
The new installation is therefore “a stepping stone on our way to be a technology partner for our customers for high-value processing and services,” says Felix Schmitz, chief executive of Kloeckner Metals Germany.
The new machine not only cuts sheet and plate precisely along a line, but also allows for variation in depth and thickness. It replaces an existing machine with 15kW power.
