Bevellers - Unterfurtner, customers expect quality
The times of flying white-hot chips are past
In 2006, white-hot chips were flying on a daily basis at the Austrian metalworking and machining shop Unterfurtner when welding edges needed to be bevelled.
They were using angle grinders. Today, things have changed - the company's workers are using TRUMPF bevellers and deburrers for these tasks. That means they're working more safely, faster, producing consistent welding edges with higher quality.
Independent of level of concentration
Johann Denk, CEO at Unterfurtner, explains:"We get our work from the automotive, aircraft, rail car and construction industries. Our core business is the processing of profiles and flat sheet metal. We cut, drill, machine, punch, bend, bevel, roll and do welding. Our customers expect particularly high product quality, which we achieve with qualified personnel and high-quality machines."
Processed sheets are used, among other places, in ICE rail cars, different automobiles and in prominent European construction projects. All these customers have one thing in common: The quality of the products and the strength of the material and joins must always be guaranteed. To be able to guarantee high-quality welding seams, their preparation is very important.
Johann Denk explains, "We process our sheet metal and profiles every day with the TruTool TKF 1500 beveller, or we deburr the material on the TruTool TKA 500. Since we've been using them, we can turn out welding edges at least two or three times as fast as with angle grinders. And the quality of the welding edges doesn't depend on my workers' concentration." With the TruTool TKF 1500 sheets from 4 mm to 40 mm thickness can be processed in a single step to produce even, oxide-free, metallically smooth edges.
With optional special tools, sheet thicknesses of up to 160 mm can even be handled. If edges are needed on sheets more than 160 mm thick, Unterfurtner usually uses the TKA 500 deburrer. This tool has no upper limit on sheet thickness, and can be used on sheets as thin as 0.7 mm. It can produce bevels in aluminum of up to 6.5 mm in height and 10 mm long, with a selectable angle of 30°, 45° or 60°.
