CIDAN QLA-PROFI slitting and cut-to-length line is designed for the
efficient machining of sheet metal fed from a coil. It enables the
slitting of material with a maximum thickness of 3 mm into strips of a
specified width, as well as cut-to-length into sheets with a maximum
length of 1550 mm. The combination of both cutting methods in one
process enables the efficient preparation of the material for
subsequent machining stages while maintaining high dimensional
accuracy and repeatability.
The CIDAN QLA-PROFI 1550/1,5 coil slitting line consists of machines
built between 2008 and 2011, which were combined into one complete
system in 2023. It includes:
– 5t sheet metal decoiler
– CIDAN QLA-PROFI cutting unit with straightening and feeding rolls,
circular knives for slitting and a guillotine for cut-to-length
– SPX-20/130-2C hydraulic table
– sheet metal recoiler
– scrap recoiler
The process is fully automated and begins with loading the sheet metal
coil onto the coil lift table. The lift table, with a maximum load
capacity of 5 tonnes, lifts the coil and places it on the decoiler
arm. The decoiler unwinds the material from the coil and feeds it
towards the working area, where the cutting is performed. The cutting
unit is equipped with a straightening system. Depending on the
operation, the sheet metal is slit longitudinally using circular
blades or transversely using a guillotine.
After cut-to-length, the finished sheet metal sheets are transferred
to a hydraulic table, which facilitates their removal. In the case of
slitting, the resulting material strips are wound into a coil by a
recoiler. The QLA PROFI slitting and cut-to-length line is also
equipped with a scrap recoiler for collecting and winding the material
remnants generated during the cutting process. As a result, scrap is
continuously removed from the working area, which facilitates keeping
the area clean and improves the line’s continuous operation.
