Blanking involves feeding a slit coil of flat-rolled steel into a cut-to-length line to create a flat shape sheet, also known as a “blank.” The process ensures precise length, corner-to-corner, and width tolerances.
Our state-of-the-art blanking equipment provides precision tolerance blanks, maximizing further part fabrication efficiency. We process a variety of mild and high-strength steel blanks, all delivered with exacting width tolerances and improved squareness characteristics. Our blanking process is backed by the knowledge and skills of our expert technicians, so you can be sure you’ll get the highest quality results, every time. And we offer timely delivery you can count on.
Save time and money and streamline your manufacturing operations by relying on Steel Warehouse for your blanking needs.
