For the Borussia Mönchengladbach soccer stadium, about 3,000 metric tons of steel structures were planned, fabricated and installed. Welding seam preparation takes on a larger role in that case. Krefelder Seibert & Möller GmbH contributed greatly to the timely completion of the construction, since they handled the planning, fabrication and installation.

In order to accurately and economically produce welded edges, this steel company has been relying on TRUMPF bevellers for 20 years. In order to handle such image-centered orders, the steel construction company has to fulfill the customer's requirement list reliably. Marian Gatzki, workshop foreman at Siebert & Möller, explains, "Of course, quality and price are very important. But it's more important for us to meet schedules accurately, because otherwise the construction of the entire stadium is affected."

"Moreover, with TRUMPF tools, we can work must more quickly in comparison with alternative processes, and we can rely on a consistently high quality in the welding edges," continues the workshop foreman. The steel structure of the stadium must after all sustain high loads reliably at 100%, and we can't have any flaws in the welding seams. The TruTool TKF 1500 is a good choice for making oxide-free, metallically smooth K, V, X and Y edges on sheet metal from 4 mm to 40 mm thick. Optional special tools allow it to handle even sheet thicknesses of up to 160 mm. The beveller can even be used on pipes with a small inner diameter of up to 55 mm. And users like Siebert & Möller value another advantage of the TruTool TKF 1500: The shaper tools have two cutting edges which can be resharpened several times, and are easy to replace.
