3 reasons to invest in a sheet metal storage system

Storage systems are an efficient solution for companies that handle large quantities of sheet metal or long products made of steel, stainless steel or aluminum. They offer many advantages such as savings in logistical time, organization, space and security.

In this article, we will give you an overview of the top 3 reasons why our customers invest in sheet metal storage systems, whether they are towers or racks, automated or not. 

1. Faster sheet metal storage than ever before

The main advantage of investing in storage racks for sheet metal is that they allow faster and more secure storage. Racks or storage towers for sheet metal are designed to accommodate sheet metal in a way that it is better organized and can be quickly moved back and forth between production and storage. This allows our customers to improve material flow and thus save time and space in their facilities. In addition, the storage racks protect the materials from external conditions and weathering, thus providing protection against corrosion.

2. Less manual handling of sheets for better safety

Sheet metal storage systems reduce manual handling. This greatly reduces the risk of damage to the sheets, the risk of injury to the operators and improves overall productivity. In addition, it is also possible to automate these storages with fully automated racks. This is the specialty of our German partner Remmert. On the other hand, we can consider standard or custom configurations. Each one can be equipped with additional security systems.

3. More flexibility in production

Finally, storage racks offer companies greater flexibility. For example, our partner Remmert offers the creation of racks that are 100% customized to the size and dimensions of each workshop. The racks can be adapted to both small and large storage spaces, allowing companies to optimize space and use their storage space more efficiently.

Lhe intelligent control system SMART Control is the heart of the Remmert goods flow solution. It consists of two modules. On the one hand, the Control module, which enables the control of the system and is responsible for visualization, process control, diagnosis and troubleshooting. On the other hand, the WMS BASIC module which represents the inventory management system with simple and intuitive inventory management. These two modules form a powerful control system with an intuitive graphical user interface.

In conclusion, investing in sheet metal storage racks offers many benefits to businesses. It allows for more efficient storage, reduced costs, less manual handling, increased security and more flexibility through customization and automation. As you can see, sheet metal racks are an excellent solution for companies that handle large quantities of sheet metal.

The importance of metal deburring in laser cutting

Today, as you know, there are a multitude of tools for metalworking. In our case, we are particularly fond of laser cutting. Machines on which we have been performing maintenance since 2002. Indeed, they offer a certain flexibility, speed and precision in your production compared to other machine tools. It is certainly a heavy investment, but it will be very profitable for your company over the years.

In addition to laser cutting machines, we can also mention press brakes, plasma cutting tables, water jet cutting tables and deburring machines. In this article, we will focus on the latter production tool. A machine tool dedicated to a perfect metal finish, ideal for increasing the quality of your production.

All you need to know about metal deburring

The first question you need to ask yourself is a legitimate one: What exactly ismetal deburring? As the name suggests, it is the process that comes after laser cutting. This operation consists of removing burrs, splashes and dents from the edges of your metal part. Simply put, it's all the little imperfections that separate the edges of your part from a completely smooth and shiny surface. That being said, these burrs are generally less present on laser-cut parts compared to other metalworking machines. Obviously, the greater the thickness of the metal being cut, the more burr will be present. This makes perfect sense.

Demanding customers in search of the best quality!

In a booming laser cutting market, there is obviously more and more competition. In particular, many subcontractors are equipping themselves with very powerful fibre laser machines to keep up with the influx of orders. Nevertheless, faced with these numerous players, customers sometimes find it difficult to make a choice for their service providers. For subcontractors, one argument makes the difference: production quality!

We now frequently see manufacturers who no longer hesitate to internalize laser cutting directly in their factories. As an example, we can cite our customer Citynox and its purchase of a EAGLE fiber laser machine 15kW. It is for the moment the most powerful machine installed in France (September 2020). A machine which thus largely exceeds the performances of those of the subcontractors!

In view of this high customer demand, the deburring process is becoming more and more important. Hence the growing interest in deburring machines, machines for clean metal finishing, such as the one of our partner COSTA Levigatrici for example.

How deburring machines work

Choosing a deburring machine really does simplify and speed up the finishing of your parts after the metal cutting phase. It saves your teams from having to use strips, paper or even sanding discs. Indeed, these "classic" deburring processes are much less efficient, but above all much more time-consuming and exhausting! With a metal deburring machine, you simply put your production parts directly into the machine and they come out as smooth as possible. All in record time! With the best quality parts, your customers will always be satisfied, which will help you to keep them loyal in the long term. This is especially important for small and medium-sized industrial companies!

Nitrogen generator for laser cutting

In this article, we explain the growing interest of the nitrogen generator for the laser industry. An equipment which allows a perfect autonomy of its laser production. But also and above all, a significant reduction in your costs. Explanations.

The importance of nitrogen in laser cutting

First of all, to operate laser cutting machines must be supplied with electricity and gas. With CO2 laser technology, a mixture of gases (nitrogen, helium and CO2) is injected at the laser source. This mixture is used to generate the machine's beam. For the fiber laser, it is simply a laser diode that will directly generate this beam. You will have understood it, we use mainly two gases for laser cutting: Nitrogen and oxygen.

With fibre laser technology, the use of oxygen is even becoming increasingly rare. For example, some of our customers equipped with a machine EAGLE laser, reserve the use of oxygen for cutting thick layers only. These technological advances logically allow a significant reduction in energy costs. A profitable argument, which amply justifies a transition to fiber laser. To accompany this transition, we offer our customers the possibility of generating their own nitrogen.

The nitrogen generator: an all-in-one solution

Faced with this observation, many companies such as Isocell have decided to expand their range of nitrogen generators. An equipment that automatically feeds the nitrogen tank for laser cutting.

Thanks to our nitrogen generators, you are perfectly autonomous and are no longer subject to gas delivery problems. Moreover, you have a major advantage in complex economic situations, such as the VID-19 health crisis.

Of course, to be efficient it is important that your nitrogen generator is adapted to the consumption of your laser production, which is itself variable according to the periods.

Specific case of the use of a nitrogen generator

To illustrate our point, we will demonstrate the efficiency of the Isocell nitrogen generator with concrete figures.

Indeed, thanks to our model with a production capacity of 27 m3/h and a tank storage capacity of 480 Nm3, it is possible to cut stainless steel up to 2mm continuously without interruption! However, it will be important to evaluate your average consumption over a production day, knowing that your tank fills up preferentially at night. In order to avoid stoppages in your production.

Of course, if you wish to have a personalized study according to your needs, do not hesitate to contact us.
