Baosteel Baoshan orders a Shapeline flatness system

The laser based flatness system is designed to measure up to 2,0 m wide plates on-line with high precision. Shapeline, the Swedish-based supplier of laser flatness measurement systems to the global steel and metals industry, opened a Sales and Service office in Beijing, China, during last year. “The order from from Baosteel is a strong sign that Shapeline can contribute to the Chinese steel industry”, says Magnus Titus, President, Shapeline, “There is a strong drive in China towards developing high valued steel products for the global market, where we have the right products and knowledge.” The start-up of the system is planned for the fall 2013 and will be the first Shapeline system installed at a Baosteel mill. The system will be used for process control of the quenching and leveling processes.
