Common Applications:
- For a most flexible and more cost-effective response to customer-demanded lot sizes
- Slitting of coil material into narrower segments with successive feed into cropping shear for blank cutting
- w/o the slitting system engaged, utilization as cut-to-length line only
- w/o the straightener and cropping shear engaged, limited utilization as slitting line only
Typical Configuration:
- Pay-off reel for the master coils; with variable speed drive and loop with loop control
- Straightener-feeder
- Slitting unit with plug-in or movable circular blades
- Cropping shear with pinch roller pair
- Looping pit to balance out different lengths of the individual strips
- Stacking system for blanks; removable for operation as slitting line only
- Station with strip brake and spacer rings
- Recoiler with spacer rings and pushers as well as tilting receiver mandrel or alternatively coil car for finished coils
- Peripheral guarding with electrical interlock
Additions & Expansions:
- 3- or 4 axis turnstiles for fast exchange of slitting units
- Various hydraulic and motorized features and components to enhance capacities and level of automation
