Coe Press Tools has launched an automated rewind characteristic that helps alleviate the issue of lengthy rewind and pullback between the coil reel and the shear in cut-to-length and blanking strains. An encoder on the straightener tracks how a lot materials has been processed, and an extra crop shear has been built-in on the straightener entrance.
The operator enters the variety of blanks and clean size, and the system automates the end-of-batch sequence. It crops the fabric earlier than the straightener, consumes the remaining slack loop, engages the threading desk, and finishes the batch by the feed and shear. The remaining materials is rewound routinely again to the coil from the crop shear, and the operator can change the following coil in parallel.
The result’s a sooner changeover that pulls just a few ft as an alternative of fifty to 100 ft. or extra, usually eliminating the necessity for multicoil stations.
