WEARPROOF STEEL
FIELDS OF APPLICATION:
Earthmoving machines, gravel crushing and carrying plants, mills and screens, plates
for conveyor belts, blades, flatbeds, buckets, presses for scraps, mine and quarry
equipment, mixers, cement industry, tanks/fans etc.
Wearproof steel is particularly suitable for constructing plants including sections exposed
to heavy stress.
In spite of being characterised by extremely high resistance and hardness, wearproof
steel features ample capacity for deformation under presses and bending machines.
To carry out a free cold bending operation, it is advisable to proceed slowly, perpendicularly
to the rolling direction, and to observe scrupulously the minimum values set for the
radiuses of curvature of the punch and for the die width.

CNC OXYGEN LANCE CUTTING
“Fe” black steel, striated and studded, high-tensile and wearproof steel.Material can be pre-blasted.
This is the traditional system for carbon steel sheet metal cutting. Themajor advantages of this cutting systemare its limited costs and high versatilityas far as thickness is concerned.Moreover, it ensures excellent cutverticatility, sharp edges and precisiondown to the millimetre.
Carbonium steel
• Oxycut
When cutting a narrow width flat bar with a single torch, the maintenance of a high
accuracy is made difficult by thermal distortions, and it is a common practice to
employ multiple torches for such a process.
It is the “twin torch” that has materialized the above concept.

COMPARISON OF PLASMA, OXYFUEL AND LASER
Laser provides excellent cut quality and productivity on material less tha6 mm. Laser technology has high capital equipment, running andmaintenance costs, therefore a high level of business volume is requiredto pay back the cost of the equipment.

With the new generation of folding presses installed in our company, we can fold the angle you need in spiteof thickness differences, elastic returns and without considering the sheet sense of the materials, thanks to theultimate generation of CNC’s which measure the thickness and determine the elastic return of the sheet in realtime, and which perfectly prepare the matrix punch for each fold. In this way it is possible to integrate the machinedata with the theoretic calculation already carried out by the technical office.

Here there follow some examples taken from the wide range of NON-STANDARD PROFILESthat can be shaped with our machines. Besides sheet metal cutting and bending, our factorycan work sheet metal so as to shape holes, slots, corner cut-off, frets, etc., according to ourcustomers’ drawings. The main advantages in using non-standard sections are: quick assembly,less waste, greater productivity, more savings.

HISTORY, QUALITY AND INNOVATIONUnder the sign of quality: this is the direction that has always inspired Officine Meccaniche Zoppelletto
Spa, with offices at via Parmesana 57 in the town of Cavazzale di Monticello C.Otto, Italy. This is
all the more true when realizing that, long before the introduction of ISO 9000 standards, Officine
Meccaniche Zoppelletto were already appreciated and stood out for their huge investments into
research and study. This company philosophy enabled Officine to steadily raise the quality and
competitiveness of its products and services, to the point that nowadays the company can boast a
prime position on the market. We need underline that the results we have achieved did not come
by chance, but were the consequence of the thorough, smart and far-reaching commitment that has
been characterising the company since its setting up in 1953 by Gino Zoppelletto, a dynamic
entrepreneur, the company chairman and managing director, the life and soul of Officine Meccaniche
Zoppelletto.
In its half-a-century reliable and competent work, the company was always ready to take on the
innovations made possible by new technologies. Officine Meccaniche Zoppelletto began by
manufacturing agricultural and wine-making machines; later, following the crisis of the agricultural
sector at the end of the 1960’s, it turned its attention to other directions, in particular launching the
production of semi-finished goods for metal working workshops. At the beginning the firm was but
a craftsman’s workshop, since Mr Gino Zoppelletto started his pioneering activity in a one-room
plant at Monticello C.Otto with a small lathe and a welding machine, the only available tools at the
time; later on a new and different business strategy enabled the company to expand into two new
industrial buildings, where brand new and modern equipment, shearing machines and presses have
been installed.
Today Officine Meccaniche Zoppelletto Spa works over a covered surface of 10,000 sq.m. with
about forty employees who –as the owners wish to underline– are an excellent human resource that
guarantees high performances and aims at achieving further market success and higher quality.
The owners add: “Our workers are highly skilled, not only thanks to the guidance of experienced
chief foremen, but also because of thorough professional training achieved through constant update,
courses and in-house training sessions".
When the turning point was decided upon, i.e. when the company turned from a craftsman-like
activity into an industrial reality, the contribution paid by Adriano and Alessandro Zoppelletto, the
founder’s sons, was crucial. These two young managers proved able to interpret this epoch-making
change in a smart way. Under their drive the company began to address the market of semi-finished
goods specifically, with advanced machinery and technologies and, more recently, with two sheet-
metal coil flattening machines operated on behalf of third parties. The company pride are an oxygen
lance cutting line, which machines sheet metal having a thickness from 5 to 300mm, and a plasma
cutting line to cut materials with a thickness up to 50mm, stainless steel included.
Officine machines any type of carbon steel, hot stainless steel, titanium and aluminium. Therefore
this company has all the necessary requirements; its target is represented by industrial plant builders,
manufacturers of machine tools, industrial and public cleaners, agricultural machines and equipment,
ascent systems: chair lifts and cableways, builders of amusement parks.
Among its most interesting supplies, we would mention some oil coolers for power stations in the
former Yugoslavia, mobile gates to safeguard the Venetian lagoon, parts of the new cableways at
Cermis and Recoaro (Italy) and some structures for the Euro Disney amusement park near Paris.
