Introduction to Slitting Lines (Metal Coil Slitting Machines)
The slitting line (also known as a coil slitting line or strip slitting line) is an automated production system designed to cut wide metal coils (such as steel, aluminum, or stainless steel) into multiple narrow strips of desired widths. It is widely used in industries like metal processing, construction, automotive, and home appliances. Below is a detailed breakdown of its components, working principles, and market applications.
1. Key Advantages
High Efficiency: Slitting speeds of 30-200 m/min (depending on material thickness), ideal for mass production.
Precision Cutting: Width tolerance ±0.1mm, smooth edges (critical for electronics and industries).
Flexibility: Handles various materials (e.g., silicon steel, copper) and thicknesses (0.1-6mm) by changing blade sets.
Automation: Supports auto-edge positioning (EPC), online thickness gauging, and minimal manual intervention.
2. Typical Applications
Metal Processing: Slitting steel coils for cable trays, shelving, and automotive parts.
New Energy: Battery electrode slitting (copper/aluminum foils), solar mounting strips.
Home Appliances & Construction**: Custom-width cutting for refrigerator panels, prepainted steel (PPGI/PPGL).
