Levelling by DIMECO
The Plastification ratio “D”
i.e. the percentage of the strip thickness that actually
overpasses material yield during straightening
Plastification rate of 50%: usually sufficient to level
mild steel coils only showing coil set defect. Changing
straightener settings at coil start and end might be
required
Plastification rate 65% to 75%: Good to level coils
only showing coil set defect. Changing straightener
settings at coil start and end not needed
Plastification rate of 80%: Good to correct other coil
defects. Material formability may be reduced.

Multi-Step punching
The press ram holds tool selectors which are controlled
by the MICROFEED CNC feeder
For each feed length, the CNC drives one or several
selectors which insert a wedge between the ram and the
stamping tools. Therefore, every stamping operations can
be programmed for each press stroke.
At the end of part program, a shearing tool split the
stamped piece.
Such a concept allows to manufacture parts families,
including some repeatable sequences with wide
variations in dimensions without tool change tools.
