Plasma Cutting and Automated Processing of Steel Angles in Dnipro — Ukrsteel Dnipro Steel Structure Plant


The steel angle is one of the most common and important types of shaped rolled products, used in a wide variety of industries ranging from civil and industrial construction to energy and mechanical engineering. The reliability of the entire building frame or metal structure depends on the cutting quality, precision of hole drilling, and compliance with the geometry of this element.

PJSC «Ukrsteel Dnipro Steel Structure Plant» offers professional services for deep, fully automated processing and blanking of steel angles based on advanced specialized CNC equipment (VP 206 S CNC system). We help our partners and customers completely eliminate manual labor at the part preparation stage, guaranteeing flawless quality and 100% repeatability in serial production.

Technical Capabilities of the VP 206 S CNC System

Modern production requires maximum precision and speed. Thanks to our plant's capacities, we perform complex processing of shaped rolled products across a wide range of parameters:

  • Steel angle cross-section range: from small elements measuring 45×45×5 mm to massive large-sized structures of 200×200×14 mm.
  • Length of processed workpieces: from 3 to 12 meters, allowing work with full-size rolled metal without prior cutting into small pieces.
  • Multifunctionality (3 in 1 in a single pass): according to a single digital CNC program, the machine simultaneously performs part marking, plasma cutting to size, and punching or drilling of necessary holes for future fasteners.

Why is Automated Angle Processing Necessary and Why is it Beneficial?

In traditional manufacturing, producing parts from steel angles was often accompanied by manual marking with a tape measure and chalk, drilling with regular vertical or manual machines, and cutting with an angle grinder or band saw. This led to a whole range of problems: the human factor caused hole shifts of 2–3 mm, parts did not fit during assembly, and expensive time of qualified assemblers was wasted on fitting and rework.

The introduction of the VP 206 S CNC system at our plant radically changes the approach to production:

  • Complete absence of manual marking: The CNC program builds the cutting layout and marks holes based on your electronic drawing with micron precision. This completely eliminates operator errors.
  • Ideal interchangeability and repeatability in series: If you need to produce a batch of 500 or 5000 identical elements for fences, trusses, or supports, each subsequent part will be an exact copy of the previous one. On the assembly site, work goes much faster because all holes align on the first try.
  • Time saving and cost reduction: Using the "all-in-one pass" technology significantly reduces the production time per unit of output. You do not overpay for extra operations and metal transportation between different shops.

Where is the Angle Processed Using This Technology Widely Used?

Due to high precision and strength, angle parts manufactured on our equipment are in demand in the most critical economic sectors:

  • Energy and Communications: Production of multi-faceted and lattice supports for power transmission lines (TLP), intermediate and anchor supports, cell phone towers, and radio relay masts. In these structures, loads are calculated down to the smallest detail, so the accuracy of holes for bolted connections is vital.
  • Construction of Industrial and Civil Objects: Erection of frames for hangars, warehouses, workshops, logistics complexes, shopping centers, and sports arenas. The angle is used to create bracing elements, half-timbered walls, purlins, and crane runways.
  • Mechanical Engineering and Agriculture: Production of frames, rigid load-bearing structures for special equipment, trailers, bunkers, elevator equipment, and conveyor systems.
  • Road and Transport Infrastructure: Manufacturing of metal structures for road signs, noise-canceling screens, bridge crossing elements, bus stops, and pedestrian overpasses.

Comprehensive Production Cycle at Ukrsteel Dnipro

By ordering metal processing from us, you receive not just a cut piece of iron, but a reliable element fully ready for installation. Our plant provides a full turnkey production cycle:

  • The ability to combine with laser sheet metal cutting and beam and channel processing services.
  • Shot Blasting Surface Cleaning: We completely remove rust, scale, and technological contaminants from the surface of rolled products (up to Sa 2.5 – 3.0 grade), ensuring ideal preparation for subsequent painting.
  • Anti-Corrosion Industrial Painting: We apply protective coating systems in a special paint booth measuring 26 × 6 meters with a paint layer service life guarantee of up to 25 years (in accordance with ISO 12944 standards).
  • Welding Works and Up-scaled Assembly: If necessary, we can weld finished spatial blocks, trusses, or structures weighing up to 50 tons in accordance with current standards (DSTU EN ISO 3834, ISO 9001).


FAQ:

  • What is the size range of steel angles you can process? — Our equipment park allows working with angles of various cross-sections — from small 45×45×5 mm to massive industrial profiles of 200×200×14 mm.
  • What workpiece lengths are supported by the machine? — We accept full-format metal bars with a length of 3 to 12 meters for processing.
  • Is it mandatory to order part marking? — Marking is applied automatically via the CNC program along with cutting and drilling. This is extremely convenient for large construction projects, as it allows easy identification of each part on the construction site and avoids confusion during assembly.
  • How is the order cost calculated? — For an accurate calculation, you need to send your drawings, project documentation, or files in DWG, DXF, STEP formats along with a technical specification to our email sales@dzmk.com.ua. Contact phones: +38 (050) 472-62-83, +38 (097) 962-60-94.
