Metal Processing Lines
Unico is a leader in the evolution of drive systems for the metal processing industry. Applications for Unico drives in that industry include uncoilers, recoilers, temper mills, slitters, edge trimmers, straighteners, tension levellers, looping pits, press feeders, shears, rotary cutoffs, flying cutoffs, blanking presses, scrap conveyors, and stackers.
Metal Processing Lines are Combined Slitting and Cut-to-Length Lines.
When metal strips are cut into plates the cut length of the individual plates must correspond very accurately to the requested dimensions.
In rolling mills metal strips are coiled. Cross cutters cut individual plates out of these coils. Eccentric shears are used for strips of more than 3 mm thickness. They can accomplish the high cutting force by means of their rugged construction.
The eccentric swing shear is able to cut such blanks on the fly, that means without stopping the material and with adjustable angles. In the automotive industry as well as for the construction of transformers trapezoidal blanks are required.
A slitting line cuts a coil of aluminium into stripes. These stripes are recoiled for miscellaneous applications.
The thrust crank shear has a removable knife coffer for fast tool change. The trust crank shear can execute both straight and scroll cuts.
At high speed metal tubes are cut into the desired length.
Precise cropping of the head and tail of steel. Every millimeter counts, as the rolled strip is stretched to up to its twentyfold length.
