Five Shapeline Flatness Systems Ordered by Böhler-Uddeholm


Böhler-Uddeholm, Austria, has placed an order for five flatness measurement systems with Shapeline, Sweden, for measuring on their strip products. The order is the continuation of a successful cooperation with Shapeline systems at the Böhler-Uddeholm plants in Munkfors, Sweden, and Böhlerwerk, Austria.

The order is for one Shapeline 500 system to measure flatness on the mother coil, as well as four Shapeline Compact systems for measuring on slitted coils after hardening. The systems will be located at Böhler-Uddeholm's new plant in Kematen, Austria.
