The possible range of applications for an STB breakout station could not be more extensive. As a stand-alone solution, the STB is the entry-level solution for automation and achieves sheets of high edge quality. When integrated into a complex line solution, it consistently ensures a high cycle rate with maximum volume requirements. Several STB systems can be combined for even more automation and fully-automatic handling. The X/Y and Z cuts are then broken out without an operator. The breakout station also scores highly in terms of quality. The sophisticated concept of material-friendly hold-down devices or electric motorised drive technology, for example, make it a robust partner for the highest demands.
