The shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles has accelerated the demand for multi-material forming systems. SUMIKURA’s Blanking Line is optimized for CRS (Cold Rolled Steel), HRS (Hot Rolled Steel), and Aluminum, giving manufacturers the flexibility to process traditional and lightweight materials on the same line. With a thickness range of 0.5–3.0 mm, it handles everything from thin aluminum body panels to heavier structural steel blanks — reducing changeover times and increasing operational versatility.

High Tonnage Power and Large Format Flexibility
Engineered for automotive-scale applications, this blanking line features a press capacity of up to 800 tons and accommodates sheet sizes up to 5,200 × 2,750 mm. The line can process coil widths from 300 mm to 2,080 mm and lengths from 300 mm to 4,300 mm, allowing manufacturers to produce both compact blanks and large body panels with uncompromising dimensional accuracy.
Operating at speeds of up to 65 strokes per minute (SPM), the SUMIKURA Blanking Line ensures high throughput and consistent quality — essential for modern high-volume production environments.
Intelligent Handling with Dual Stacking Technology
Automation is one of the most searched and implemented trends in today’s manufacturing ecosystem, and SUMIKURA’s line incorporates advanced material-handling technology to meet this demand. The system uses both Magnetic and Vacuum Stacking Systems to ensure precise, damage-free blank stacking. This innovation not only increases efficiency but also enhances quality by preventing surface marks on aluminum or coated steel blanks.
Sustainable and Smart Manufacturing Advantage
Sustainability and waste reduction are central to SUMIKURA’s design philosophy. By optimizing coil utilization, reducing scrap, and supporting energy-efficient operation, the Blanking Line helps manufacturers meet environmental targets while maintaining cost efficiency. Its precision and automation capabilities also make it ideal for Industry 4.0 integration — enabling real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, and seamless digital workflow.
