Process design

Edge quality and recoiling stability start with tooling, tension, and line stiffness.

A slitting line must be designed around maximum coil weight, strip count, minimum slit width, material strength, knife specification, scrap handling, and recoiler torque.

  • Core modules include coil loading, uncoiling, EPC, slitter head, scrap winder, tension stand, recoiling, and unloading.
  • Quality focus: burr control, camber control, telescoping prevention, flat coil face, and winding tightness.
  • Light-gauge and narrow precision lines can include quick knife change and separated tension control.
  • Heavy-gauge lines prioritize frame stiffness, cutting force, scrap stability, and safety protection.

Ranges are engineering reference values. Final specification depends on coil weight, strip count, knife configuration, material strength, edge tolerance, and recoiling quality target.
