On-Site Coil Processing Course Descriptions
Cut-To-Length
This session will cover the inner workings of a typical Cut-to-length Line. We will review the pros and cons of the various types of lines and their configurations. In addition, we will address specific problems related to each design. We will also review methods of improving the tolerances produced by each line as well as how to increase productivity.
- Types of Cut-To-Length Lines
- How to Improve Tolerances
- How to Improve Productivity
Blanking / Multi-Blanking
This session will cover the inner workings of a typical Blanking/Multi-Blanking Line. We will review the pros and cons of the various types of lines and their configurations. In addition, we will address specific problems related to each design. Examples of topics to be covered are: camber and how shape problems in the material prior to slitting is related to tolerances; proper slitter knife clearances and how to assure a good quality cut; methods of improving finishing part tolerances and flatness; set-up reduction and increased productivity.
- Types of Multi-Blanking Lines
- How Camber Affects Tolerances
- How Flatness Affects Tolerances
- How to Assure a Good Quality Slitter and Shear Cut
- How to Improve Finished Part Flatness and Tolerances
- How to Increase Productivity
Leveling Technology
This session will review the various methods of leveling material as well as the physics of leveling. We will review how each process works and the benefits and limitations of each application. We will also review what causes spring back and how to minimize or eliminate it.
- Types of Leveling
- How Each Process Works
- The Benefits of Each Process
- Limitations of Each Process
- How to Minimize or Eliminate Spring Back
Slitting Systems for Continuous Improvement
This session will demonstrate how using the proper tooling and good slitting practices, tracking variables and monitoring results will improve your bottom line.
- Different tooling options that are available today
- How to apply different practices to different slitting needs
