Hot Stamping is a key technology for the future of the automotive industry. In the manufacturing process, the furnace rollers are playing a key role. Contamination caused by the blanks’ coating is causing unplanned and higher maintenance activities, offset of the blanks and subsequently problems with the robots in highly automated lines and last but not least breakages due to the buildup of the coating. Breakages require a higher stock of spare parts and have a negative effect on the environment.
