Introduction to Metal Slitting Machine

Slitting is a metal manufacturing process where a coil of material, such as aluminum or steel, is slit into the lengths and widths specified by the end application. As the material runs through the machine, the steel rolls are moved through extremely sharp circular blades, making the cuts. To make the slice, substantial compressive forces must be applied-and when the forces exceed the tensile strength of the material, it slices. The product is long strips of material cut to the buyer's specifications. A steel slitting machine is comprised of three major parts-the uncoiler, the slitter, and the recoiler. To ensure that the quality of the process is optimized, each element must be precisely aligned during setup.

  • The slitting process characteristics include:
  • Being restricted to cutting relatively thin materials (0.001 to 0.125 in.),
  • Leaving left-over burrs on slit edges of the narrower coals,
  • Its ability to be used on both ferrous and nonferrous metals,
  • Its categorization as a high production designed to control metal coil width.

How Does Metal Slitting Machine Work?

 

 

Metal slitting machines are used to change large metal coils into smaller, more manageable strips. This process starts by feeding a large metal coil into the slitting machine and unwinding it through circular blades. These blades make precise cuts in the metal to produce narrow strips. From there, these strips are wound into small coils-making them ready for further processing or distribution.

 

Why You Need Metal Slitting Machine?

 

Precision slitting is a metal slitting process that requires specialized machinery, often referred to as the steel slitting machine. When operated properly, the slitting process can be very fast and precise.

 

Maintain Tight Tolerance
The steel slitting process is necessary when tight tolerance is required. The thickness of materials is associated with how well the materials can be machined or tooled, its slitting requirement can be determined by your manufacturing process. To illustrate better, those who are looking to use injection molding will benefit from metals with tighter tolerance because they allow adding more ease to the processing.

 

Use a Consistent Product
Besides adding ease, steel slitting enables more consistent products. This means that materials with consistent measurement can be fed through the slitting machine more easily, eliminating the time that you would have had to spend on machine setup, oversight, and size maintenance.

 

Reduce Waste and Scrap
Another major reason why steel slitting is preferred is that it reduces the amounts of resulting scraps after you slit the materials close to the finished size. Many in fact use the slit width as the finished width to preserve edge trims that would have otherwise been possible if sheet metals had been sheared instead. As a matter of fact, it is said that your project can run smoother and quicker if the metal materials are slit to the width that fits your application.

 

 
Benefits of Metal Slitting Machine
 

 

There are several key benefits to slitting steel coils and sheets compared with other methods, including better efficiency, precision, and cost savings. 

 
Cost Savings

Slitting is a continuous operation that is far more cost-efficient per pound than cutting sheets from a shear. Slitting one wide coil on a high-speed line equates to multiple cuts from a sheet shear or sawing operation where labor, time, and consumable blade costs add up. For example, slitting a 40,000-pound coil into ten slit coils takes less than an hour. Comparatively, shearing 40,000 pounds of sheets would take 8-10 hours or more of cutting time while wearing shear blades faster in the process.

 
Customizable

Slitting enables steel suppliers to produce coils and sheets in custom widths based on customer needs, reducing the need for additional processing. For example, rather than purchasing a standard width sheet, slitting allows custom widths like 15.875″ for specific parts or roll-forming applications.

 
Precision Tolerances

Modern high-speed slitting lines with razor slitters can hold extremely tight width tolerances. This precision permits steel to be used directly in automated stamping presses or CNC machining centers with minimal secondary processing required. Similarly, slit-edge squareness of under .010″ per inch of coil width is standard. Customers can stamp or form parts to close tolerances across the strip width.

 
Clean Surface Finish

The smooth, clean-sheared edges from steel razor slitting provide a superior surface finish without deformation from mechanical sawing or teeth marks that a slitting saw or bandsaw would cause. The surface finish integrity permits thinner gauges and helps maintain corrosion resistance.

 

 

What Does the Metal Slitting Machine Consist of?
 

The machine typically consists of the following components:

Unwinder

This is the portion of the machine that holds the roll of material that is to be slit.

Guiding System

This system helps to guide the material as it is being unwound, ensuring that it stays straight and centered as it is being slit.

Cutting System

This is the portion of the machine that actually cuts the material. The cutting system can consist of a variety of different types of blades or knives, depending on the type of material being cut and the desired width of the slit.

Rewinder

This is the portion of the machine that winds the cut material into smaller rolls.

Control Panel

This is the portion of the machine that allows the operator to control the speed of the unwinding and rewinding, as well as the width of the slit.

Safety Guards

These are in place to protect the operator from the moving parts of the machine.

 

What is the Scope of Application of the Metal Slitting Machine?

 

 

The materials that the slitting machine can be applied to include silicon steel sheets, aluminum strips, copper, stainless steel sheets, galvanized sheets and steel sheet,etc.
The most important application areas can be classified according to the industry:

  • The type of paper used for slitting is a resident product in the current packaging equipment, which is common in the packaging market.
  • Industries that are used for slitting leather, cloth, plastics and films, etc..
  • Used for slitting metal coils, mainly used in steel processing plants, steel market operators, steel rolling manufacturers, electrical industry, automobiles and stamping parts, etc.

 

 
 
4 Steps on the Metal Slitter Machine Help Achieve Close Tolerances
01.

Coil is moved to the uncoiler, set accordingly to slit the desired width, and then uncoiled by being fed into the machine length wise. As material is being fed through, it is simultaneously cut by the sharp circular upper and lower blades.

02.

Quality checks are performed on the slitted material, and thin metal discs called separators are used to guide slitted material to the recoiler.

03.

At the recoiler, the slit material is placed between the separator's upper and lower arms and then recoiled.

04.

The cuts are taken, banded, and then stacked on skids, ready to be shrink wrapped, packaged, and shipped.

Common Problem of Metal Slitting Machine
 
 

Q: What is the objective of the slitting machine?

A: To put things simply, the main role of a slitting machine is to convert (slit) papers, film and foil materials so that large rolls of these materials can be cut into narrower rolls. A slitting machine consists of three main parts; the unwind, the slitter and the rewind.

Q: What is slitting line machine?

A: The function of the slitting line is to break down these coils into smaller pieces based on the customers' needs. Once the coils are uncoiled they are then cut to the specifications need; they are then recoiled and shipped off to be used by the client.

Q: What is a steel slitting machine?

A: Metal slitting machines are used to change large metal coils into smaller, more manageable strips. This process starts by feeding a large metal coil into the slitting machine and unwinding it through circular blades. These blades make precise cuts in the metal to produce narrow strips.

Q: What are the defects of slitting?

A: These defects are Flared or High Edge, Fuzzy Edge, Rippled Edge, Slitter Scratches, Slitter Picks, and Slitter Skip. For example, when slitting delicate or fibrous web materials a "Fuzzy Edge" roll face is not uncommon.

Q: What are the defects of steel slitting?

A: Many problems can arise during metal slitting. These include poor edge quality, edge burr, edge wave, camber, crossbow, knife marks, and slit width that is out of specification.

Q: What material is used for slitting blades?

A: Metal slitter blades are mainly made of high-quality tool steels and high alloy die steels such as T10, 6CrW2Si, Cr12MOV, LD, H13, W18Cr4V, H13K.

Q: What are the main parts of the slitting machine?

A: Slitting machines consist of three main components: the unwind, the slitting method, and the rewind. The process starts when a master roll of material at a given width is loaded into the unwind, allowing you to pay out the material.

Q: What is the minimum slitting width?

A: The general rule is that if the slit widths are greater than 1" (25mm), a center-wind slitter rewinder is recommended. If the slit widths are less than 1", a center-surface slitter rewinder is a better fit for the application.

Q: What is the use of slitting line?

A: Slitting lines obtain narrow coils from a parent coil. The main characteristic of these lines is high productivity. For this purpose, it is essential that the lines be functional and operational in order to minimize changeover times from coil to coil, as well as, the times of changeover of the auxiliary operations.

Q: What is the function of slitting?

A: Slitting is a process in which a roll of material is cut into narrower rolls or strips. The potential workpieces are noticeably thin measuring only at 0.001 up to 0.215 inch. These can also be machined in the form of sheets or rolls. It is often used in the manufacturing of paper, metal, plastic, and textile products.

Q: What are the components of a slitting machine?

A: Slitting machines consist of three main components: the unwind, the slitting method, and the rewind. The process starts when a master roll of material at a given width is loaded into the unwind, allowing you to pay out the material.

Q: What is a slitting line?

A: A slitting line is an industrial machine that converts large wide steel coils into narrower coils or bands. This allows for more effective stock control and less waste of material for the customer by supplying the required width in bands or coils. specialised band or coil widths are used across many industries, including water, automotive, construction, heavy engineering and appliance manufacturing. A slitting line involves the following steps:
Uncoiling stock material: feeding the metal coil into the slitting line.
Shearing/slitting: cutting the metal coil into narrower strips or bands.
Re-coiling: winding the narrow strips back into coil form.
How does a slitter work?
Slitters use sets of circular knives to cut the coil along its length. These knives rotate on an arbour, with each cutting position creating a slit that narrows the steel's width. The process is highly efficient and cost effective for manufacturers to reduce material waste.

Q: What is the slitting process?

A: The slitting process begins with feeding the coil into a set of uncoiler arms. These arms hold it in place during feeding. It is followed by a series of straighteners and feeders that drive the material into the slitter for cutting. After that comes a series of tensioning rollers and recoil arms, these rewind the slit material onto new coils for further processing or shipment directly to customers.

Q: How many types of slitting machines are there?

A: There are two main types of steel slitting lines: single-blade and double-blade. Single-blade slit machines have a single arbour that runs the entire line length. Double-blade slit machines use two separate arbours for greater flexibility and speed when cutting. Single-blade slit machines are typically used for long production runs with few material changes. Double-blade slit machines are ideal for short runs with frequent material changes. Depending on your production needs, you can choose the best system for your process.

Q: What is the best tool to cut structural steel?
