Cut To Length Lines
Cut to length lines
The coil cut-to-length line has two main processes: uncoiling and cutting. The metal roll is unwound from a large roll of sheet metal (called a "slip roll") onto a smaller roll of sheet metal called the "work roll." The work roll is powered by an electric motor. As the work roll spins, the metal from the slip roll unwinds onto it. The work rolls are also used to level and align the coils as they are unrolled.
When you need a flat sheet of metal, you will order it in a specific size. The coiler will then position a mark on the coil to match your specifications. After that, he will use an air hose to blow off any dirt or scrap pieces of metal that might be on the coil before cutting it to length with an air saw and/or disc cutters. Once cut, the pieces are stacked and held together with clamps until they can be moved to their final destination.
There are coilers for all types of coils such as aluminium, copper, stainless steel and galvanised steel coils manufactured in coils up to 24 inches in diameter and up to 72 inches in length weighing up to 10 tons each. Coilers can be either stationary or mobile depending on application needs.
Coil cut-to-length lines are an effective tool for producing sheet metal for your business. The metal coils or rolls are fed into the coil cut-to-length line which unspools, flattens, cuts, and then stacks them as flat metal sheets. Coil cut-to-length lines can produce a variety of flat metal sheets depending on the specifications of the metal mill. Metal coil or roll sizes are typically measured in inches and vary from 1/8 inch to a foot in diameter. For example, a company may want to order ¼ inch wide aluminium sheets that measure 12 feet long by 24 feet long and weigh 50 pounds per square foot. The company would order three coils of aluminium with each coil measuring 3 inches in diameter by 12 feet long by 24 feet long weighing 50 pounds per square foot. The coils would then be sent to the coil cut-to-length line which would turn them into ¼ inch wide aluminium sheets with dimensions of 12 feet by 24 feet and weighing 50 pounds per square foot.
A cut to length machine is automated so it can ensure accurate feeding, shearing and flattening. It can be used for a variety of metals in many industries.
