Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / steel processing
German term or phrase: Abtafeln
Die XXX Gruppe hat heute eine Wachstumsdimension erreicht, die sie aufgrund der Vielfalt der angebotenen Anarbeitungen zu einer der führenden Gruppen in Europa zählen lässt. „Weitere mittelfristige Expansionen sind
durchaus denkbar, allerdings nur dann, wenn sich dadurch die Qualität unseres Angebots erhöhen lässt und nicht die Quantität“, erklärt Dr. Andrea XXX, Chef des operativen Geschäftes der Gruppo XXX. „Natürlich werden wir unser Engagement auf dem deutschsprachigen Markt weiter intensivieren. Für YYY, die bereits mehr als die Hälfte Ihrer Produkte auf den Exportmärkten
absetzt, ist ein hierfür wichtiger Termin die TUBE 2008 in Düsseldorf. Ein weiteres Ziel der Unternehmensgruppe ist der Zugewinn von Marktanteilen bei Kant- und Sonderprofilen, sowie bei Spaltbändern im Dickenbereich bis 15 mm und beim **Abtafeln** im Dickenbereich bis 20 mm.“
Danke.

festooning


Explanation:
Das Abtafeln, im englischen Sprachgebrauch"festooning"genannt, führt zu etwa quaderförmigen Blöcken, die gegenüber Materialrollen den Vorteil haben, daß sie im wesentlichen ohne Zwischenraum gestaut werden können und daß sie bei der Weiterverarbeitung kein aufwendiges Rollengestell benötigen.

agree  Ruth Wiedekind: possible. seems to be a combination: "Decoiling is the actions of unwinding a parent coil, making it flat and cutting it in to sheets." http://www.servosteel.co.uk/decoiling.htm

sheeting


Explanation:
spaltbänder -> slitting
wenn Du für Zuschnitte "blanking" nimmst, könnte hier das "sheeting" gemeint sein (Ref.: meine Antwort zu Deiner Frage nach Teilanlage) - also das Band quer, zu Tafeln schneiden/teilen
