In the modern metal processing industry, the steel cut to length machine's main function is to cut wide steel coils into steel plates of predetermined lengths, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing. Due to its efficiency and precision, the steel cut to length line is widely used in various manufacturing industries. This article will detail the main components of the steel cut to length machine, helping you gain a deeper understanding of the structure, function, and advantages of this important equipment.
⇜Main Components of Steel Cut to Length Line
Loading Trolley: The main function of the loading trolley is to automatically transport the coiled material to the decoiler, reducing the time and cost of manual handling and saving labor. Using a loading trolley significantly improves production efficiency and lays the foundation for subsequent processing.
Decoiler: The decoiler is mainly used to place and fix the unrolled steel coil. The decoiler design usually adopts a left-right symmetrical structure, providing sufficient driving force to unroll the coil. The four-column frame uncoiling device uses a gantry frame structure, which is stable and durable, and can efficiently complete the uncoiling task, guiding the plate head into the leveling machine.
Side Guide: The side guide is responsible for lateral positioning as the material moves forward. It precisely controls the lateral position during processing such as slitting, preventing material from running off-center and ensuring that the width of the final cut product meets the standards. A good side guide design not only improves processing accuracy but also reduces the scrap rate.
Pinch Rollers: Pinch rollers are an important device used to assist the plate head in correctly entering the leveling machine. Its structure consists of a pair of pinch rollers and a hydraulic cylinder, ensuring that the plate does not slip when entering the leveling machine, maintaining stable feeding. This device is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the entire steel cut to length machine.
Leveling Machine: The leveling machine mainly consists of the frame, pinch roller section, work roller section, turning section, pressing section, universal joint section, transmission section, and dry oil lubrication section. The leveling machine flattens the steel plate, eliminating warping and bending caused by storage or transportation of the coiled material, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent cutting.
Cut-to-length Machine: The cut-to-length machine is one of the core components of the steel cut to length line, responsible for cutting according to the length measured by the length measuring device. The cut-to-length machine is driven by a powerful hydraulic cylinder and can quickly perform the cutting. The shear gap can be adjusted via the human-machine interface, and the four-sided blades can be used interchangeably. The bottom-up cutting design effectively protects the sheet surface and ensures cutting quality.
Roller Conveyor Transition Table: The roller conveyor transition table, also known as the material transfer table, is a device composed of a frame, rollers, and intermediate support plates. Its main function is to act as a transition between the pre-leveling machine and the main leveling machine, improving the efficiency of sheet metal movement during this stage and ensuring a smooth transition between different processes. An excellent transition design reduces friction and wear on the sheet metal.
Stacking Device: The stacking device is used to collect the sheet metal conveyed by the conveyor and automatically stack it neatly. This device uses a combination of pneumatic and hydraulic mechanisms to ensure that the collected sheets are neatly stacked. A receiving hand supports the sheet metal during its descent, allowing it to descend slowly and effectively protecting the sheet surface from damage. Photoelectric switches control the lowering of the stacking platform, ensuring that the platform maintains an appropriate distance from the working level, thus improving work efficiency.
⇜Advantages of Steel Cut to Length Machine
Intelligent Control: The steel cut to length line adopts servo NC closed-loop control technology, combined with a PLC servo control system, making operation more convenient and accurate. The design of the main control panel and the uncoiling side control panel allows for manual and automatic switching. Users can input parameters through the touch screen to precisely control the fixed length (such as 500-6500mm and other specifications) and fixed length tolerance (≤±0.3mm/2.0mm, ≤±0.5mm/2.5mm), achieving high-precision fixed-length cutting and ensuring product size consistency, greatly improving the level of production automation.
High-Efficiency Processing: During the leveling process, the steel cut to length machine uses a four-layer roller leveling machine. Through precision machining, heat treatment, and other processes, the leveling rollers have excellent surface hardness and smoothness, effectively eliminating sheet metal unevenness. In the shearing stage, the shearing line speed can reach 0-70m/min (stepless speed regulation), and the threading speed can reach 0-150m/min. Combined with efficient collection and conveying mechanisms, continuous production is achieved, constantly improving processing efficiency. Comprehensive Protection: The steel cut to length line is equipped with a comprehensive protection system including a pneumatic stopper, chrome-plated or polyurethane-coated leveling rollers, a receiving rack, and a blower. These devices effectively protect the sheet metal surface throughout the entire process of feeding, processing, and unloading, preventing scratches and dents, and accommodating different surface quality requirements.
