Equipment Investment Positions SET to Strengthen Its Competitive Edge
SET Enterprises, an Asaba Group Holdings company, is installing a LaserCoil coil-fed blanking system at its New Boston facility where blanks are processed for the automotive industry. The 2100-mm wide dual-head system, featuring two-6kW lasers, will help expand SET’s blanking capacity in Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS), aluminum and other lightweight/high strength alloys. The use of high strength light weight materials in the automotive industry has grown tremendously over the past several years as automakers have increasingly incorporated these materials into vehicles, particularly structural, closures, and safety components.
