INTRODUCTION
Many users are not equipped to handle the coils delivered by strip mills, cold rolling mills, galvanizing shops or coating plants. In particular, the weights of coils available before finishing (5 to 40 t) are too great, their widths (600 to 200 mm) are too wide, and their coiled shape is not suitable for certain user machines, such as die-cutting or stamping presses, cutting machines and folding machines.
Finishing thin flat products is a step between production operations (rolling, pickling, annealing, coating treatments, etc.) and packaging and dispatch to the customer.
These finishing workshops deliver three main product families:
slit strips ;
leaves ;
rectangular or trapezoidal sidewalls.
Structural changes (customers demanding ever more elaborate end products) and technological developments (laser cutting) will give finishing new dimensions.
