Schomlz and Bickenbach Group: Improve productivity with technology

The Schmolz & Bickenbach Group is an organization with a long history in steel processing and trading. S&B currently has 10,000 employees and has a turnover of EUR 3.3 billion in 2018.

Throughout its construction and development, S&B has always been at the forefront of applying new technologies to improve productivity, and time has proven to be the right direction. For a steel product outsourcing and trading company, cutting saw plays a very important role in productivity and quality. A good saw can cut huge costs for defective products, while improving the efficiency of the whole process. Therefore, S&B leaders are always seeking and testing the latest sawing technologies in their factories.

Dynamic HBE411 – A brand proposed by Behriger, meeting the strict requirements of S&B and keeping up with trends in the steel trade. Let’s find out why this technology was chosen?

Improved functionality and design

A saw with user-friendly design, labor safety and environmental protection will benefit the factory in the long run. HBE Dynamic has brought a lot of efficiency such as: no pollution to the working environment, noise reduction, easy maintenance and repair, maintenance.

Automation helps to simplify the stage

With Dynamic HBE411 technology, the flat material trough allows to accommodate different materials, cross sections and dimensions so that the range of the nominal diameter is 90 mm. They allow automatic bar switching and storing keyboard shortcuts. Computer system that adjusts to various ideal cutting conditions.

Improve process reliability

Process reliability is important in any factory. Instead of an electronic sensor or height information manual, the height adjusted and detected by a mechanical bar can move down quickly when it senses the top edge of the material. The reliability of the saw is given priority by the use of sensitive electronic systems, as these machines must be constantly and automatically guaranteed to ensure uninterrupted operation.

There is no risk to the processor chips

To ensure effective saw blade cleaning, the machine has an electrically controlled double chip brush that cleans the saw blades of the integrated mounting chips while the sawing operation is in progress. Quick change device allows this brush to be exchanged without taking too much time.

More precise machining

With increasing raw material prices, achieving the smallest piece length can be a great benefit. The HBE Dynamic series is equipped with a dual standard. Motion is less likely to occur when machining and better precision.

Improve quality productivity

Overall, the new technology has helped the S&B Group produce more resources and produce more sustainably. Improvements in process, reliability, and accuracy have greatly reduced processing errors; while automation and new microprocessor applications play a significant role in improving production capacity.
