Automation increases productivity. <\/h3>\n<p>Butzkies Stahlbau from Krempe, around 50 km northwest of Hamburg, can look back on over a hundred years of company history. The company was founded in 1912 and continued to develop until it moved to its current location on the outskirts of Krempe in 1970. Around 160 employees, including around 80 in production, work at the main site today, supplemented by other units of the Butzkies Group with a total of around 240 employees. &#8220;We are an owner-managed medium-sized company in the field of steel construction, steel hall construction and turnkey industrial construction,&#8221; says Patrick Baade, Operations Manager at Butzkies Stahlbau. The range of services is complemented by the company&#8217;s own metalworking shop, where stairs, gates and balconies are manufactured.    <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18448\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18436\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0019_DSC08384-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"The split line at Butzkies Stahlbau is loaded in the material store in the outdoor area.

This means that four machine operators operated the saw-drill line in two shifts, after which we blasted,&#8221; explains Baade. This multi-stage and poorly networked process characterized the previous structure of beam processing. Continuous, automatic steel processing was not feasible in this way. Butzkies was therefore looking for a fully automatic, reliable system with a high degree of automation and minimal operating effort.    <\/p>\n<p>Despite the decreasing availability of qualified specialists, the previous system output was to be secured and, ideally, even more work was to be processed via the system. This situation led to the decision to replace the existing structure with two back-to-back saw-drill lines with a modern split line. <\/p>\n<h4>One employee is sufficient for operation<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;Our new beam line includes the blasting, drilling and sawing processes &#8211; all fully automatically. We deliberately chose Partners for Steel because we felt that the automation was the most mature here and we saw the greatest process reliability for us in this line,&#8221; explains Patrick Baade.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18449\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18437\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/02-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0017_DSC08366-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"After passing through the blasting system, the beams are free of rust, scale or loose dirt. \u00a9 Behringer\" width=\"301\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/02-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0017_DSC08366-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/02-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0017_DSC08366-779x438.jpg 779w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/02-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0017_DSC08366-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/02-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0017_DSC08366-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/02-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0017_DSC08366.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After passing through the blasting system, the beams are free of rust, scale or loose dirt.<br \/>\u00a9 Behringer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With the new system, the entire process can be monitored by just one operator during the day, who can keep an eye on the blasting system, drilling system and saw at the same time. In addition, the high level of automation of the line enables operation in largely unmanned shifts, which significantly increases overall productivity. <\/p>\n<p>The raw material is delivered by truck and temporarily stored outside. The overhead crane is used to load the 20 m long beams and profiles onto the fully automatic processing line. <\/p>\n<p>The first step is the surface preparation of the steel profiles in the R\u00f6sler roller conveyor blast machine RRB 16\/5. Before the blasting process, the material is passed through a blow-off device that removes loose dirt and moisture. The blast media then removes rust, scale and build-up on all sides of the workpiece. After blasting, brushes clean the surface and the abrasive is fed back into the circuit.<br \/>\nThere are two options to choose from after the blasting process: The blasted beams can be discharged and removed by overhead crane, or the blasted beams can be transferred to the Vernet Behringer drilling and milling machine.   <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18450\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18450\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18438\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/03-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0016_DSC08408-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"Transfer of the steel beams from the blasting system to the HDX drilling system from Vernet Behringer.

The profiles are then separated on the roller conveyor before the gripper carriage takes over the handling. This gripper can also move heavy steel profiles stably and reliably and is also responsible for clamping and positioning during the drilling, milling or marking process. This creates the basis for precise machining in the HDX profile machining center.   <\/p>\n<p>The HDX high-speed drilling and milling center can process the steel profiles on three sides simultaneously with three independent processing axes, which increases efficiency. The machine enables complete processing in a single pass, including drilling, milling, slot milling, tapping, scribe marking and notching. Particularly noteworthy are carbide drilling up to 50 mm diameter and drilling with deburring. An automatic tool change supports this wide range of functions and ensures short machining times and high process stability.   <\/p>\n<p>For largely autonomous production, the HDX center is designed for unmanned shifts. Fully automated processing cycles can be programmed and run overnight. Video monitoring of the drilling unit and automatic production feedback via email allow the process to be monitored remotely.  <\/p>\n<p>A further advantage is scribe marking, which is used to permanently mark subsequent welding positions &#8211; a decisive plus for downstream assembly steps and quality assurance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18451\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18439\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0001_Ebene-2-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"Machining example: Drilling, milling and slot milling or notching. \u00a9 Behringer\" width=\"301\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0001_Ebene-2-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0001_Ebene-2-779x438.jpg 779w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0001_Ebene-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0001_Ebene-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0001_Ebene-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Machining example: Drilling, milling and slot milling or notching.<br \/>\u00a9 Behringer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Interlinked system passes on order data<\/h4>\n<p>After the drilling unit, the steel beams are again transferred to the sawing station via cross conveyors. Here too, the cross conveyor areas serve as a buffer store between the drilling unit and the band saw, ensuring a continuous flow of material. A gripper carriage picks up the separated bar and positions it for the saw cut. The profile is measured using the bar start detection system, while all other processing information &#8211; such as cut-off lengths and mitre settings &#8211; comes directly from the order data of the interlinked system.   <\/p>\n<p>A type wheel marking and embossing unit stamps the letters and numbers for the application into the material. This marking remains recognizable even after painting and contributes to traceability and quality assurance. The steel profiles are then cut to length or mitred using the Behringer HBE610-1256G mitre band saw. The discharge side behind the saw is divided into several zones so that different cut-off lengths can be reliably discharged and further processed accordingly.   <\/p>\n<p>Short offcuts and offcuts are pushed into a metal scrap box. Cuttings up to 2.5 m long are pushed off by the push-off unit onto a deposit table with a closed surface that prevents parts from falling off. A separate box is also available for bulk material processing, in which the loose material is safely collected. Carriers with lengths of over 2.5 m are transported to the discharge magazine by a cross conveyor. This can be divided into two zones via the system control: either for beams with a maximum length of 8.5 m or as a large collection zone for steel profiles up to 19.2 m. This means that the system remains flexible even with changing order structures.     <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18452\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18452\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18440\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/05-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0005_DSC08477-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"Transfer and buffer area between the HDX profile processing center and the HBE610-1256G mitre bandsaw. \u00a9 Behringer\" width=\"301\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/05-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0005_DSC08477-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/05-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0005_DSC08477-779x438.jpg 779w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/05-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0005_DSC08477-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/05-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0005_DSC08477-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/05-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0005_DSC08477.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Transfer and buffer area between the HDX profile processing center and the HBE610-1256G mitre bandsaw.<br \/>\u00a9 Behringer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Robot processes steel beams more<\/h4>\n<p>After blasting, drilling and sawing, the finished steel beams are removed by overhead crane at the end of the fully automated blasting, drilling and sawing line. The components are then transferred to the newly acquired Zeman Steel Beam Assembler assembly and welding robot from Lincoln Electronics for further processing. <\/p>\n<p>At Butzkies, the Steel Beam Assembler is primarily used as an assembly aid. It inserts connecting elements, brackets, plates and flanges into the steel beams with pinpoint accuracy and attaches them at the intended points using spot welding. The final welding of the seams is still carried out by qualified specialists.  <\/p>\n<p>In the final production step before dispatch, all components pass through the paint shop. There they are primed and painted according to customer requirements. An important contribution to corrosion protection, durability and overall appearance.  <\/p>\n<p>Safety along the entire processing line is ensured by a comprehensive safety concept. Loading and unloading areas that must remain accessible during operation are equipped with light barriers. Other zones are protected by 2 m high safety fences. In addition, light grids and emergency stop switches ensure a rapid response in the event of an emergency.   <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18453\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18441\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0012_DSC08421-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"The robust gripper measures the bar and moves it precisely into the saw. \u00a9 Behringer\" width=\"301\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0012_DSC08421-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0012_DSC08421-779x438.jpg 779w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0012_DSC08421-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0012_DSC08421-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0012_DSC08421.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The robust gripper measures the bar and moves it precisely into the saw.<br \/>\u00a9 Behringer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Software ensures maximum throughput<\/h4>\n<p>Butzkies Stahlbau relies on VB Prosuite 3 for control in several process steps. In work preparation, the order data is first exported from the production planning system as DSTV files. The PRONC3 module imports these standardized formats (e.g. DSTV or STEP), maps the part geometries and checks the feasibility of the components. <\/p>\n<p>Estime 3 can be used to determine the required tools in advance, calculate production times and detect possible collisions. This allows adjustments to be made before production starts, which increases process reliability. <\/p>\n<p>The Proflow module is used on the interlinked system itself &#8211; specifically on the control panel of the blasting system. It provides a transparent overview of all pending orders and displays the progress of the material within the production flow in real time. Proflow also checks the optimum nesting of the bars and analyzes which profiles can run through the blasting system in parallel. This maximizes material throughput and ensures an efficient overall process.   <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18454\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18442\" src=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/07-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0010_DSC08428-678x381.jpg\" alt=\"A type wheel embossing unit marks the carrier with letters and numbers, for example to indicate the order number. \u00a9 Behringer\" width=\"301\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/07-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0010_DSC08428-678x381.jpg 678w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/07-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0010_DSC08428-779x438.jpg 779w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/07-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0010_DSC08428-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/07-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0010_DSC08428-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bbr.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/07-Behringer_Butzkies_1920x1080.psd_0010_DSC08428.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A type wheel embossing unit marks the carrier with letters and numbers, for example to indicate the order number.<br \/>\u00a9 Behringer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Countering demographic change with automation<\/h4>\n<p>Thanks to the new structure, the entire process is controlled by just one operator, who monitors the blasting system, drilling system and saw in parallel. At the same time, additional work steps such as notching, milling and marking have been integrated into the line, which has increased the added value. &#8220;The whole thing now runs fully automatically,&#8221; says Baade and continues: &#8220;This means that one person operates all three systems in parallel and at the same time we are able to bring significantly more work processes onto the system. What we previously did with four operators and two saw-drill lines, we can now do with one split line and one operator.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>This further development is a response to demographic change and the increasing shortage of skilled workers, as qualified employees can now be deployed more efficiently. The high level of automation also means that long unmanned shifts are possible, which makes full use of the plant&#8217;s running times. Overall, Butzkies Stahlbau now achieves a higher output with an extended processing spectrum and a sustainable process structure.  <\/p>\n<h4>Quote:<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;We had to think about how we could make carrier processing more efficient and keep output high in the face of the shortage of skilled workers.&#8221;<br \/>\nPatrick Baade, Operations Manager at Butzkies Stahlbau<\/p>\n<h4>About Partners 4 Steel<\/h4>\n<p>Partners for Steel (P4S) is a cooperation between the three mechanical engineering companies Behringer, Vernet Behringer and R\u00f6sler Oberfl\u00e4chentechnik.
