Following
the impressive growth path of our all-time customer PROFILGLASS, Salico has
recently delivered and started up two very impressive Cutting Lines along with
a Tension Levelling & Cleaning Line for applications in the automotive and
aerospace sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic did not hinder the teams from concluding
the project quickly, efficiently and successfully.
Combi Levelling and Slitting Line
The
Combi-line – so called because of its ability to combine Decoiling, Levelling, Slitting
and Recoiling – is designed to process a wide range of aluminium coils of up
to:
Strip
Levelling is performed using a Leveller which features a 6-high Cassette
design.
Since
Slit Shearing is carried out using slitting tools, every time a different tool
is needed, the change is carried out automatically with the Auto Slitting
Tooling Changeover, which takes just five minutes. Slitting Tools are secured
in position by an Auto Locking mechanism designed by Salico. The unit is
completed with a Scrap Chopper and Conveyor.
The
Auto Slitting Tooling Changeover is complemented by the Robotized Slitting
Tooling Setup, featuring the Salico proprietary robotic system.
The
Salico Bridle is the perfect complement to the Recoiling area and
guarantees a totally scratch-free surface even for most sensitive processed
materials. Adjustments to the separator discs is done in totally automatically via
a robotic Salico system.
Electrical
Cubicles, engineered and manufactured by Salico Automation, are fitted into dedicated
climatised containers, which come with office space and pedestrian &
maintenance access doors, installed five metres above floor level, saving space
in the rear of the Line.
PVC Foil Application is provided upstream to the Slitting Shear and Paper Foil application in the Recoiling area.
The
line ends with an Exit Coil Turnstile equipped with high-efficiency
Circumferential Strapping Facility, designed by Salico, which allows for the
maximum run uptime of the Line.
