Cutting

Strand extensioner slitting line HERR-Voss Stamco is manufacturing a new Strand Extensioner ® slitting line for Cascadia Metals Ltd.

Herr-Voss Stamco supplies coil processing solutions, including tension levelling, slitting, cut-to-length, multi- blanking, precision roller levelling, and enhanced levelling technology (ELT™).

The line will process material with a thickness range of 0.012" to 0.25" with an incoming coil capacity of 50,000lb x 72" wide. The slitting line also includes Herr-Voss Stamco’s quick-change injector slitter head system, which allows operators to efficiently change slitter heads out of the line. This line will be installed in Cascadia’s facility in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.

The backbone of the new slitting line will be the Herr-Voss Stamco Strand Extensioner, which provides evenly rewound coils, with levelling and burr reduction to the slit material, allowing the user to create higher quality slit mults.

to give the greatest efficiency with the minimum of waste. Particular attention has been paid to reducing the scrap end of the material, which can be as little as 20mm. The material in-feeding is servo- controlled, as is the head rotation. The tolerances of the cut pieces are maintained to a high accuracy, making it suitable for robotic welding systems. The saw can be linked to a de-burring machine or multi-discharge feature; the standard version has three-position discharge.

SIMEC’s fully automatic MEC 120 CNC machine is designed to use circular

saw blades of the DMO5 type and their derivatives.

The machine can cut to any pre-programmed angle of ±60° and has the ability to cut intersecting angles on the end of a wide selection of material types. With the choice of three loaders, the machine is suited to load and feed both symmetrical and asymmetrical profiles. The CNC control uses a sophisticated program that is able to process all of the data and then select and optimise this

Reduce down time while cutting on your tube mill

the tooling last longer. The longer tooling lasts, the less down time there is on the mill, which means more production time is possible. The blades lasting longer will also mean that customers spend less on total tooling budget at the end of the fiscal year. Buyers have the option of helping blades last even longer by adding coatings. Randolph offers many

RANDOLPH Tool vertical and horizontal tube cut-off blades as well as jaws/dies are manufactured with the best tooling processes by craftsmen with a good eye for perfection and a reputation for exceeding expectations to guarantee that the blades are extremely flat and smooth. The blades, being flatter and smoother, cause less friction during the cutting process, which in turn makes

different coatings to suit different cutting materials.
