Slitting Lines

The Combination Slitting & Cut-To-Length Lines are probably the most flexible coil processing lines within the field of cutting. By combining the cutting lengthwise and across, the coil material can be processed into a variety of blanks. So, if your production features a limited number of different coils as basic materials, while the variety of widths and lengths of the blanks is high, a Combination Slitting & Cut-To-Length Line will be the right choice. The system bases on the Cut-To-Length technology while offering the additional functionality of slitting. Since the slitting technology is home-made too, we can provide a fully integrated solution. An incisive experience so to speak. As a sizable advantage, storage space and material costs per ton are both significantly reduced, and with Combination Slitting & Cut-To-Length Lines even smallest batches can be delivered immediately.

Cut-To-Length Lines are core competence at GSW. They belong to the family of Cutting Lines and are designed to process diverse materials out of steel, non-ferrous metals or aluminum and precisely cut a coil into sections of equal length (which is where the name comes from). Starting with narrow slit strip and finishing somewhere beyond 2000mm width – our Cut-To-Length Lines always know how to shine in this process.

Our sequence-controlled system includes a precision welding head and precise cutting and positioning devices. The two integrated Hydraulic Shears and the strip clamps can be moved so that the leading and trailing strip ends can be fitted precisely. For those who like it less automated but more cost-effective, we have developed a simpler technology – using just one Hydraulic Shear and fixed clamps. The strip ends are positioned manually here – this is supported by an easily accessible hand lever to individually activate the pneumatic clamps. A double edge guide with vertical rollers centers the new strip and can be adjusted also decentral for alignment. The actual welding process is taken over by the operator himself.
