In modern industry, metal coil slitting lines are crucial equipment for the slitting of metal coils, particularly silicon steel coils. After being precisely slit by the metal coil slitting machine, silicon steel coils are stacked into cores. Core quality control is essential for ensuring the performance of electrical equipment. So, what is the close connection between metal coil slitting lines and core quality? This article, KINGREAL STEEL SLITTER, will answer this question.
1. Core Burrs and Quality Control
The size of core burrs is a key indicator of the quality of core slitting. Excessively large burrs can cause short circuits, increase eddy current losses, and severely impact the stack size and quality, leading to increased core losses. Therefore, workers must take various measures to minimize burrs during operation, or remove existing burrs.
During the slitting process using a metal coil slitting machine, burrs are always present to a certain extent. For electrical equipment such as transformers, the allowable burr height is typically set below 0.03mm. Burrs exceeding this standard must be embossed. In practice, proper die clearance can effectively control burr size. When cracks on the punch and die edges form a straight line, the minimum size of the resulting blanked workpiece equals the punch size, while the maximum size equals the die size, ensuring high workpiece quality.
2. Metal Coil Slitting Machine Tool Installation and Operation Requirements
When installing the tool on the metal coil slitting machine, the operator must carefully align it to ensure that the center-lines of the upper dies overlap, avoiding eccentricity and intersection. Furthermore, the clearance around the cutting edge must be uniform to prevent contact on one side before the other. Mold designers must carefully select mold materials, structure, and clearance; while manufacturers must strictly control key processes such as processing and fine grinding to ensure the finished mold meets quality standards.
In addition to burrs, the processing quality of the metal coil slitting line is also reflected in the straightness of the core. Deviation of the shearing edge reflects the magnitude of internal stress, which cannot be eliminated by the metal coil slitting machine. Therefore, control must be performed within the material itself. During the slitting process, deviation of the shearing edge determines the material's straightness.

3. Internal Stress and Material Straightness
Typically, this deviation results in varying degrees of convexity and concavity, with the permissible range of curvature not exceeding 0.8mm within 1.5m. Due to fluctuations in power supply, air supply, hydraulic system, oil temperature, and other factors, errors can be caused by interference. Therefore, voltage stabilization, pressure reduction, and constant pressure devices must be added to these power systems. Furthermore, various shielding measures must be implemented for electronic systems to prevent interference.
Under existing conditions, operators must be familiar with the metal coil slitting line's various control systems and adjustment methods to promptly identify and address any deviations. Only in this way can the metal coil slitting machine's production efficiency be effectively improved and the quality of the cores ensured.
4. Technical Parameters and Operation of the Metal Coil Slitting Machine
The technical parameters of the metal coil slitting line directly impact the production quality of the cores. For example, the material and sharpness of the cutting tools, as well as the operating speed of the metal coil slitting machine, are all important factors affecting burr and straightness. To ensure cutting tool sharpness, operators must regularly maintain and replace the cutting tools.
In addition, the operating speed of the metal coil slitting line should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material. When processing silicon steel coils of varying thicknesses and hardness, appropriately adjusting the operating speed can effectively reduce burrs and improve shear quality.
5. Quality Inspection and Control
To ensure the quality of cores, a comprehensive quality inspection system must be established. During metal coil slitting machine operation, sheared cores should be regularly inspected to check for indicators such as burr height and straightness. If any issues are found, metal coil slitting line parameters should be adjusted promptly or operators should be retrained to ensure that each batch of products meets quality standards.
In addition, various quality indicators should be recorded during the production process for subsequent analysis and improvement. Through data analysis, potential factors affecting core quality can be identified, allowing targeted improvement measures to be implemented.
6. Future Development Directions of Metal Coil Slitting Machines
With technological advancements, metal coil slitting line technology is also constantly evolving. In the future, intelligent and automated metal coil slitting machines will gradually become an industry trend. By introducing advanced sensors and automatic control systems, various parameters during the slitting process can be monitored in real time, allowing timely adjustments to ensure consistent core quality. During this process, operator skill training is crucial. Workers must master the operation of the new metal coil slitting line and be able to promptly resolve any issues that arise during the slitting process.

The relationship between metal coil slitting machines and core quality is closely linked. By rationally controlling metal coil slitting line parameters, strictly enforcing operating procedures, and establishing a comprehensive quality inspection system, core quality can be effectively improved, reducing burrs and straightness deviations. In the future, with the continuous development of intelligent technology, the production efficiency and quality control level of metal coil slitting machines will be further enhanced, providing a solid guarantee for the performance of electrical equipment.
