Coil Processing Equipment

Coil processing is the transformation of steel coil into a variety of shapes and sizes. Common coil processing techniques are:

• Cut-to-length (shearing)
• Slitting
• Roll-forming
• Leveling and stretching
• Edging
• Feeding
• Laser-blanking

Cutting to length and slitting takes place in slitting and cut-to-length lines. Here the coil is cut to the desired dimensions for further processing.

In the next step, the coil material is fed into presses, roll forming entry lines or coil-fed laser blanking lines. The coil lines ensure that coils are fed reliably and in the right quality for optimal further processing.

Ultimately, coil processing equipment is designed to meet your needs, whether this be leveling, cut-to-length processing, or slitting. Different coil lines will achieve different results and final products, so, when choosing a coil line, it is important to know what process you want to accomplish.

Depending on the application, coil lines are designed differently. Here are the different variations:

• Coil-fed laser blanking lines
• Press feeding lines
• Roll forming entry lines

Advantages of coil-fed laser blanking lines:

• Material cost savings of up to 30%
• Tooling cost savings
• Lower installation costs and reduced space requirements

Advantages of press feeding lines:

• Short setup times
• High system availability
• Integration into press lines for a wide array of manufacturers

Advantages of roll forming entry lines:

• Short set up times
• High availability
• Continuous production
• Economical roll forming
