Strand extensioner slitting line
HERR-Voss Stamco is manufacturing a
new Strand Extensioner® slitting line for
Cascadia Metals Ltd.
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.
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.
Herr-Voss Stamco supplies coil
processing solutions, including tension
levelling, slitting, cut-to-length, multi-
blanking, precision roller levelling, and
enhanced levelling technology (ELT™).

Fully automatic CNC cutting
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
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.

Reduce down time
while cutting on
your tube mill
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
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
different coatings to suit different cutting
materials.
