OREANDA-NEWS. "Zaporizhstal" Steel Works purchased an up-to-date machine for thermal cutting of metal for the metal structures shop within the modernization program of Metinvest Group enterprises. Investments constituted about 1 million UAH.

A new machine "Crystal" is designed for automated processing of the flat products with use of plasma and gas cutting. Up-to-date equipment will allow the Works to organize production of component parts for its main process units instead of buying them from other companies as it had to be done before.

"Crystal" has high performance specifications - productive capacity, kinematic and manufacturing accuracy, performance reliability of the major components. An up-to-date numerical program control of the equipment arranges the component parts on the sheet with maximum efficiency, minimizing manual labour and the time for production of a component part, thus increasing the overall production efficiency. High accuracy and quality of cutting of metal allow decreasing quantity of metal waste and machining after cutting to the greatest possible extent, and in some cases even completely excluding it.
