UVZ introduces high-tech laser and plasma

cutting equipment into production

Uralvagonzavod (part of the Concern UVZ is a part of the Rostec State Corporation) is
introducing 8 new high-tech plasma, laser, thermal and waterjet cutting plants for the workshops
of the car assembly and mechanical assembly industries. The use of these modern technologies
allows avoiding the manufacture of expensive die tooling and not reconfiguring the pressing
equipment, which is already involved in the production of serial products. At the same time, the
range of materials used can be significantly expanded.
A laser cutting machine is installed in the cold stamping workshop. The use of high-
precision laser-technological complexes reduces labor intensity up to 100 and more times. Two
new thermal cutting machines are used in the thermal shop No.2. The waterjet cutting unit was
purchased for the general assembly shop, mechanical assembly shop No. 4 and thermal shop
No. 3. Plasma cutting machine is installed in the body welding and machining workshop. It is
used to manufacture parts from sheet with a thickness of 0.4 mm to 30 mm, while the error
does not exceed 1 mm.
Two years earlier, UVZ introduced the technology of oxygen plasma cutting. It allows you
to abandon the operations of cleaning the edges, which means that it also significantly reduces
the complexity of manufacturing parts and increases cutting productivity by 1.8 times.
