Appliance Industry/Critical Finish Cut-to-Length solutions.

30,000 Lb. coils up to 60” wide can be processed on this cut to length/ blanking Line. A precision B&K Roller Leveler with high-rise head and auto roll cleaner is incorporated to allow production of mirror finish panel flat blanks. An edge trimmer with scrap chopper and scrap conveyor is incorporated to ensure blanks are cut to a precise width. A 4 Roll Servofeed, High Speed Mechanical Variable Speed Shear with camber compensation adjustment and Vinyl Applicator are incorporated to ensure precision quality blanks are produced at extremely fast production rates.

An Inspection Conveyor and Servodrop Stacker are provided to ensure downstream production is maximized.

Servodrop Sheet Stacker with pallet inserter in the back and full pallet discharge out the front is included on this 60" Cut to Length line to maximize uptime.

This CTL coil handling line provides high productivity and repeatable accuracy for a major appliance manufacturer. The system features a pneumatic direct drop part stacker and side load and discharge pallet transfer system to expedite material flow. This high-productivity line also features a hydraulic bow tie shear, 4-roll servo feed with automated control, pneumatic threading table, power driven stock straightener with powered head adjustment via job number, High lift head for quick cleaning of the chrome plated rolls, hold-down peeler system, 30,000lb. uncoiler and coil loading car.

This system solution was provided for a major appliance manufacturer to supply the large sheets needed for the outside skin of refrigerators. A B&K^© corrective leveler was incorporated to remove all internal stresses and ensure the supply of 'panel-flat' parts critical for this application. A combination coil car/upender unit accommodates coils loaded "eye to the sky", flipped 90° and directly loaded onto the uncoiler. A 240" inspection conveyor with power lift allows damaged lead and trailing ends to be cropped and dumped into a supplied scrap bin. Quality parts are directly conveyed into the 240" direct drop stacker. An empty pallet inserter loads the customer-supplied material skids. A powered mule was also provided to remove full skids from the discharge station and store them for downstream operations.

This appliance class critical finish cut to length line is quipped with a 4-roll servofeed for accuracy of +/- 0.002" which allows the machine to decrease roll pressure by 50% while increasing the traction surface by 100%. The servofeed system leaves critical surfaces of stainless steel and aluminum unaltered. A Hydraulic Shear with camber compensation adjustment guarantee precise accuracy and squareness. This line incorporates an optional Bar Code Reader that can be used to scan the job paperwork or coil barcode and with this data automatically select the job parameters in the control. Automatic system set-up of all job parameters including the Material Stacker, Straightener or Leveler and Stock Width Guides

An Inspection Conveyor ensures downstream production is maximized.

Stack of polished stainless steel parts ready for downstream production.

This non-marking, critical-finish cut to length line processes highly polished stainless steel product. As the paper rewinder removes the paper interleaf from the coil, a motorized uncoiler ensures no stretch is applied to the ultra thin material. A B&K^© leveler is used to remove internal stresses and ensure panel-flat material. The hydraulic shear with bow tie blade and pivot base provides squareness compensation. An inspection conveyor allows viewing of the sheets prior to entering the stacker. Utilizing a direct drop stacker with air blower assist, the material is dropped straight down into the stacker without any sliding of 'sheet-on-sheet' to protect the material surface against abrasion and marking. A state-of-the- art control platform allows the customer to monitor and control all system features for problem-free processing of surface-critical material.
