1. Equipment Definition
The Dual Head Decoiler is a continuous coil feeding system** featuring **two independent stations** that alternate to achieve **zero-stop automatic coil switching (metal, plastic, paper, etc.). Designed for high-speed continuous production lines, it eliminates efficiency losses caused by downtime during coil changes in traditional single-head decoilers.
2. Core Working Principle
Operational Workflow
[Station A uncoiling] → [Pre-depletion alert] → [Station B activation] → [Splicing/welding] → [Station B takeover] → [Station A reload]
Key Technologies:
1. Synchronous Switching Control:
PLC monitors coil diameter, triggering standby station acceleration 10-15s in advance
Hydraulic/pneumatic rollers splice materials (>2mm) or laser welding (thin stock)
2. Closed-Loop Tension Control:
Servo motor + encoder maintains tension fluctuation ≤±3%
3. Auto-Centering System:
CCD vision/photoelectric sensor correction (±0.5mm)
