A combined cut to length and slitting line is a versatile and multifunctional shearing machine designed to perform various metal processing tasks efficiently. This equipment offers several advantages and can be tailored to meet specific manufacturing needs. Let’s explore the key aspects of this machine:

Common Applications:

• Flexible Lot Sizes: This machine is ideal for responding to customer-demanded lot sizes in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
• Slitting and Cutting: It can slit coil material into narrower segments and then feed them into a cropping shear for blank cutting.
• Cut to Length Only: When not engaged in slitting, it can function as a cut-to-length line.
• Slitting Only: Similarly, it can serve as a slitting line without the straightener and cropping shear engaged.

Typical Configuration:

• Pay-off Reel: This section accommodates master coils and features a variable speed drive with loop control.
• Straightener-Feeder: Ensures proper alignment and feeding of the material.
• Slitting Unit: Utilizes plug-in or movable circular blades for precise slitting.
• Cropping Shear: Incorporates a pinch roller pair for blank cutting.
• Looping Pit: Balances out different lengths of individual strips.
• Stacking System: Arranges and stacks the blanks, which can be removed to operate the machine as a slitting line only.
• Strip Brake and Spacer Rings: Controls strip movement and maintains proper spacing.
• Recoiler: Facilitates the rewinding of coils, including features like spacer rings, pushers, and a tilting receiver mandrel or coil car for finished coils.
• Peripheral Guarding: Ensures safety with electrical interlock.

Additions & Expansions:

• Turnstiles: You can opt for 3- or 4-axis turnstiles to enable fast exchange of slitting units.
• Hydraulic and Motorized Features: Various hydraulic and motorized components can enhance capacities and automation levels.

This combined machine streamlines metal processing operations, from slitting and cutting to recoiling, making it a valuable asset in industries requiring versatile and efficient material handling. For more information or specific customization options, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
