New Coil Feeding Line For High Strength Low Alloy Steels From Shear-form

This new coil feeding line overcomes the problems that can occur for fine blanking specialists when decoiling HSLA steels with yield strengths up to 1,200Mpa. It provides complete operator safety with high performance ratios handling 1,600mm diameter coils weighing up to 4,500kg in widths from 40 – 200mm and steel thickness up to 8mm. The operating speed can be up to 12m/minute.

Advantages of using this line include, strip that is secured during strapping and un-strapping, strip insertion up to the tool inlet is fully automatic without operator involvement, and the strip is closely monitored whilst decoiling and recoiling with an additional measuring wheel monitoring the actual strip feeding movement.

Other features include adjustment of coil centering during automatic operations, the component part program is able to trigger an automatic configuration of the line parameters, decoiling and straightener jog modes are controlled from one panel on the press terminal plus the decoiling line can be controlled using the press control terminal.
