Coil feeder NC system eliminates feeding loop
An exciting concept in flexible, NC, high speed coil feeding eliminates the need for any feeding loop from the coil so that the feeding line is only 4m long.
It makes this machine the answer to de-burring for stainless steel equipment manufacturers.
It removes the burrs and scallops from stainless steel, caused by a guillotine squaring shear or CNC punch press, regardless of whether the burr is on top or on bottom of the material.
It also smoothes the sheared edges of shaker parts at speeds up to 20m/min in one pass.
This machine deburrs the top edge, the face and the bottom edge of sheared sheets during the one pass.
It enables this unique machine to reduce labour costs by as much as 90%.
It is simple to operate and when used to de-burr the straight outside edges of stainless steel, which are difficult to de-burr by hand filing, the resultant appearance of the edges with two consistently sized chamfers is far better than any filed edge.
The blades, which have six cutting edges have a lifespan ranging from 8 months up to 2 years, are made of a cobalt material and produce an almost totally dust free operation.
This machine is able to handle material ranging.5mm up to 6.5mm thick in lengths ranging from 100mm to 1.5m or more and widths from 12mm to 1.2m or more The machine is compact in size being 1370mm high and 1120mm wide with a depth of 865mm.
