slitting machine

1. Precision Slitting, Accurate Dimensional Control for Metal Sheets

  • Core Support: High Precision, Laser Centering, Dynamic Deviation Correction, Automatic Gap Compensation

  • Customer Value: Tailored to the characteristics of metal sheets such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy, it achieves precise slitting with width accuracy of ±0.05-0.2mm and longitudinal straightness of ≤0.1mm/m. The burr height is controlled within ≤0.03-0.08mm (or ≤5% of the sheet thickness), avoiding edge damage to the sheets. It ensures the blank precision for subsequent stamping and forming processes, reducing the rework rate to below 0.5%.

2. Efficient Mass Production, Doubled Efficiency for Metal Sheet Processing

  • Core Support: Servo Drive, Stepless Speed Regulation, Automatic Tool Change System

The single-shift output is 83% higher than that of traditional equipment, enabling 24/7 continuous trouble-free operation. It significantly shortens the batch processing cycle of metal sheets and improves the per-unit-time production capacity.


Product Details
I.Precision Slitting  Product Overview
The slitting machine (also known as longitudinal shearing line or slitter) is a core equipment for precision processing of metal coils. Through longitudinal shearing technology, it slits wide metal coils into narrow strips of preset width and winds them neatly, providing high-precision blanks for downstream processes such as stamping, forming, and welding. Integrating functions like automatic feeding, dynamic deviation correction, and intelligent tension control, the equipment boasts three core advantages: high precision, high efficiency, and strong adaptability. It meets the full-range processing needs from ultra-thin strips for electronic components to thick plates for steel structures, making it an indispensable key equipment in the modern metal processing industry.
II. Core Structure & Technological Innovations

  • Gap Adjustment: Automatic gap compensation technology for precise adaptation to shearing needs of materials with different thicknesses.

  1. Recoiler: Constant tension winding system. The finished coil has an inner diameter of Φ508mm and an outer diameter ≤1900mm, with winding misalignment ≤1mm and tower deformation ≤2mm, ensuring neat coil shape.

  1. Control System: PLC + touch screen human-machine interface, supporting parameter presetting, storage, and recall. Some high-end models can connect to MES systems for intelligent management.

(II) Industry-Leading Technological Innovations
  1. Automatic Tool Change System: Adopts a patented auxiliary tool change system (Patent No.: CN119115622B), integrating robotic arms and intelligent monitoring functions. It realizes automatic tool replacement and status early warning, reducing tool change time from the traditional 30 minutes to within 5 minutes, greatly improving production continuity;

  1. High-Speed Stable Transmission: Driven by servo motors with intelligent tension control, the maximum slitting speed can reach 300m/min, enabling 24/7 trouble-free operation and adapting to efficient processing of materials with thickness 0.1mm-20mm;

  1. Modular Design: Supports quick replacement of arbors and pressure rollers, adapting to multi-specification processing needs with width range 20mm-2000mm. The equipment footprint is reduced by 40% compared with traditional models.
