Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH has successfully implemented our latest generation of slag detection systems. The ESD 300 digital measuring system reliably detects the slag and automatically closes the ladle slide gate to reliably produce "Clean Steel". Parallel operation with the predecessor system confirmed the development goal in terms of even higher signal sensitivity and reliability. Following [...]

We had a great experience at this year's AISTech, the premier trade show, and conference for the iron and steel industry in North America. Our team engaged in captivating discussions with customers, and their consistently positive response was truly uplifting. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and process flow modeling took center stage, not only in the [...]

In the “Smart Press Shop”, Amepa recently commissioned two online measuring systems for determining roughness and oil film thickness on strip surfaces. The bbr, trade journal for strips, sheets, tubes, presents in its issue 01/2023 our showcase project and application within the Laser Banking Line in detail. The Smart Press Shop in Halle/Saale is a [...]

Since the beginning of March, AMEPA is a member of the Aachen digitalHUB.

The VDI symposium “Innovative Blechumformung in der Automobilindustrie” (Innovative Sheet Metal Forming in the Automotive Industry) on March 15-16 finally offers the opportunity for a face-to-face meeting again after the recent period of online meetings. The joy at seeing familiar industry colleagues again at the event venue in Nürtingen is proverbial on the participants' faces. [...]

Digitalization, mobile working, work-life balance, new values, and social changes have had an enormous impact on the working world in recent years. AMEPA has recognized the changing times and has embraced social changes. As a result, the technical facilities for employees have improved significantly. Internal indoor and outdoor meeting points and additional seating areas have [...]

If the waviness of a steel and aluminium sheet is above the specified limits, the customer generally does not accept the annealed, galvanized or aluminium product for high value-added applications. Subsequent processing steps, especially painting, can lead to poor quality and thus downgrading. As a result, direct online measurement is required to fully assess surface [...]

As automotive producers are placing increasingly quality demands on the surface area profile of electrolytic galvanized strip, there is a growing need for steel producers to measure the surface waviness, in addition to the surface roughness. thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG has been using the waviness measuring system from Amepa in an electrolytic coating line. This [...]

730 exhibitors from 50 nations and 20,400 visitors from 100 nations are impressive key figures that characterize this year's ALUMINIUM in Düsseldorf. ... and a lot of interested visitors and inquiries at our joint booth. After a four-year break and the increased industrial demands, aluminum remains a key material on the way to climate neutrality [...]

In this highlight project AMEPA was again able to competently contribute its developments in oil film and roughness measurement. Integrated into the production line, our online measuring system is able to measure and record, visualize and evaluate the measured values with high dynamics over the entire strip length. In cooperation with Schuler Pressen GmbH - [...]

After a break due to the pandemic, we are pleased to welcome our customers, business partners and all interested parties again this year at Aluminium 2022 in Düsseldorf (27 - 29.9.2022).

AISTech 2022, the Iron & Steel Technology Conference and Exposition, will once again be the international meeting place and exchange platform for the latest developments in global steel production from May 16 to 18. Decarbonization, sustainability, the use of the latest digitalization technologies and process optimization through the use of artificial intelligence and simulation are [...]

OFM oil film measurement is used in steel, aluminum and automotive production. Users in rolling mills, finishing/inspection and press shops use the measurement results to document quality and optimize their processes. For the high customer benefit, in our newly built calibration laboratory, the necessary customer-specific calibrations for different surface coatings are created. Depending on the [...]

Dear Participant of the 12th International Conference on Zinc & Zinc Alloy Coated Steel Sheet-GALVATECH 2021, Thank you very much for visiting our virtual booth during GALVATECH 2021. We hope that our staff was able to answer all your questions and that you received all needed information about our systems. We presented you our innovative, [...]
