slit and cut to length machine FORSTNER SLIT CUT with circular shear

FORSTNER SLIT 

This is a coil processing machine for slitting metal and cut it to length you need. It is possible to turn off slitting unit and cut only sheets. There is two different type of shearing: roller shear (on SLIT CUT model) and guillotine shear (on SLIT PRO model).  Possible working widths: 1250 mm or 1500 mm.

Machine is equipped with infeed roller guide.  The infeed guide roller is angled to match the loop of the coil from a decoiler. This helps prevent creasing on soft materials like copper, aluminum and zinc. The table guide has four roller bearings (two on each side) to guide the metal in the pinch rolls. The roller bearings allow the metal to move easily forward and backwards without damaging the edges. This also keeps the material straight as the material is fed into the machi­ne helping to ensure a square cut.

 

Slitting

Machine is equipped with 5 Sets of slitting knives as standard (max 7 knives). The unique “Cap-Locking” system gives you trouble free slitting the life of the machine. The shafts are 100mm. The tolerance between the shaft and blades is less than 0.01mm which gives you a smooth and easy to move positioning of the slitting blades anywhere on the shaft. The cap-lock consist of a half-moon mild steel that presses onto the shaft by head screw. Since the cap-lock is softer that the shaft, you do not have to worry about “scoring” the shaft like other designs tend to over time. The knives have a two-side cutting surface, so you can alternate sides and take tension out of narrow slits. The machines come standard with a red with sliver lettering on the scale for ease of reading the position of the top blade. To simplify the adjustment of the slitting blades, there is installed an LED slitting blade illumination. This gives the system a visual highlight and contributes to the safe and quick adjustment of the slitting blades.

Control system

Machine is equipped with SPS-S1 Control touch screen with intuitive features, that allow you to enter different quantities and lengths. The control uses the Electronic Eye to automatically set the zero point on square material. The control features a “material savings” mode which automatically stops the machine, raise the slitting knives automatically and then moves forward to cut the piece to length, while leaving a clean edge. An optional radio remote can be purchased when adding later on a powered decoiler or recoiler, so the operator has everything under control.

Options

The film applicator can basically be mounted on any table. Using the deflection rollers and the fully rubberized feed rollers, the protective film is pressed on almost bubble and wrinkle-free. The device has an additional arm with tension spring for tensioning the film during the return movement. This design is only applicable for single decoiling systems. The option is supplied with fully rubberized pinch rollers.

Cut to length line will be prepared for retrofit­ting a film applicator at any time and with ease.

The coil guide is an important component for the func­tion and accuracy of every system. The table has a fixed and a manually adjustable coil guide with ball bearings. The adjustment of the movable coil guide is done by a hand wheel. This specific table has rollers integrated in the table to ensure a smooth surface.

When you need to slit narrow strips or when doing a trim cut, we can offer you the right solution. Use our stripper rings that are perfectly suiting our slitting shafts to ensure even better slitting results.
