CUT-TO-LENGTH UNIT
This edge conditioning and cut to length unit is capable of producing
flat, straight and edged bar or strip from slit coils in one completely
automatic operation. Set up for various widths and lengths is fast and easy,
requiring no part changes. Simply replacing one pair of edging rolls is all
that is needed to accommodate different stock thicknesses. Having all
necessary processing functions combined on one compact base means important
savings in installation costs and valuable plant space. Quality of design
and construction ensure dependable production performance with a minimum of
maintenance.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All rolls in contact with the stock are hardened and ground tool steel.
These are supported by anti-friction radial and thrust bearings with ample
grease reservoirs for longer lubrication intervals. Rolls are driven with
direct coupled hydraulic motors that can provide the wide range of torque
necessary to handle the lightest strip to the heaviest bar stock without
buckling or stretching problems between stages. An additional benefit of
this type of drive is that damaging forces can not be built up during a
stall condition. Operating oil temperature is held to a conservative level
by a fan and radiator combination.
Piece length is controlled by an electronic counter operating from a
shaft encoding device coupled to the lower pinch roll. The piece length
desired is simply entered into the counter by push buttons and a readout of
the length is displayed before the shear operates. Acceleration from and
deceleration to the stopped cut off position can be adjusted to suit coil
weight, length accuracy required, speed, and cycle time. A separate counter
is provided to stop the machine at any selected count.
Coil to coil operation can be achieved by simply setting a selector
switch, swinging the shear aside and employing a suitable recoiler.
