As the global automotive industry accelerates toward lightweight design, digital integration, and sustainable production, manufacturers require equipment that delivers both speed and precision. SUMIKURA Co., Ltd. rises to meet this demand with its cutting-edge Automotive Blanking Line, engineered to support the world’s most advanced vehicle manufacturing environments. https://sumikura.jp/blanking-lines-2.html Optimized for Modern Materials and Vehicle Innovation Automotive manufacturers are increasingly shifting toward multi-material body structures, especially for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid cars. SUMIKURA’s blanking line is designed to process a wide range of materials — CRS (Cold Rolled Steel), HRS (Hot Rolled Steel), and Aluminum — making it the perfect solution for lightweight yet durable vehicle components. Capable of handling material thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm, this versatile line ensures high accuracy across multiple applications, from outer body panels to reinforcement parts. The system supports material widths between 300 and 2,080 mm and lengths from 300 to 4,300 mm, providing full flexibility for modern automotive design requirements. Power and Performance That Drive Productivity With a maximum press capacity of 800 tons and a working table of 5,200 × 2,750 mm, SUMIKURA’s blanking line delivers exceptional power for heavy-duty processing. Operating at speeds up to 65 strokes per minute (SPM), it ensures high-volume output while maintaining precision cutting and flatness — key to achieving zero-defect production standards in automotive sheet metal manufacturing. Advanced Automation and Smart Stacking Automation remains a major driver of high-exposure searches in industrial manufacturing, and SUMIKURA’s system is at the forefront of this trend. Its dual Magnetic and Vacuum Stacking System guarantees efficient and accurate blank stacking, minimizing surface damage and improving material flow. This intelligent stacking design supports seamless integration with robotic transfer systems, contributing to smart factory operations and reduced manual intervention. Sustainable and Cost-Efficient Production As sustainability becomes a global priority, SUMIKURA’s blanking line incorporates energy-efficient features and precise coil utilization to reduce material waste. The result is a system that not only improves productivity but also supports eco-conscious production goals, a critical focus area for today’s automotive suppliers.
