Metal slitting machine is a kind of industrial equipment used to cut wide-width materials (such as metal coil, paper, plastic film, etc.) into several narrow strips along the length. It divides the wide material into narrow strips of the required width by means of multiple disc blades or roller cutter blades, which is suitable for the production and processing needs of various industries. As one of the coil processing equipments, the steel slitting machine requires high precision for coil processing, so why is the error found in the process?
1. Improper equipment adjustment
Incorrect adjustment of the tool gap: the adjustment of the tool gap directly affects the accuracy of the slitting. If the gap is too large, the edge of the slitting will produce burrs and cracks; if the gap is too small, it will increase the wear and tear of the cutter, resulting in a decline in cutting quality.
Tool wear or tool installation is not stable: the tool will wear out after a period of time, resulting in untidy cutting edges. Unstable installation of the tool will produce offset in high-speed operation, affecting the cutting accuracy.
Inaccurate guiding system of the machine: The accuracy of the guiding system directly affects the position of the material during the cutting process. If there is a deviation in the guiding system, the material will shift during the cutting process, resulting in inconsistent slitting dimensions.
2. Uneven material thickness: Uneven material thickness will lead to uneven force during cutting, resulting in dimensional deviation and edge quality problems.
Irregular or burred material edges: Irregular or burred material edges will cause offset when entering the slitting machine, affecting the accuracy of slitting.
Uneven material tension: Uneven material tension will lead to material displacement in the cutting process, affecting the stability and precision of cutting.
3. Equipment wear or failure
Long-term use of the equipment leads to wear and tear: During long-term use of the equipment, the parts will have different degrees of wear and tear, affecting its working accuracy and performance.
Failure or damage of some parts of the equipment: Failure or damage of some key parts of the equipment will directly affect the accuracy and quality of the slitting process.
Regular inspection and adjustment of tool clearance: Establish a regular maintenance system and use professional tools to inspect and adjust the tool clearance to ensure that it is within a reasonable range. According to the use of the tool, carry out regular grinding or replacement of the tool to ensure that the tool remains sharp and stable.
Regularly calibrate the guiding system and adjust the position of the guiding wheel or guiding plate to ensure that the material maintains a straight motion during the cutting process.
Select materials with stable quality and uniform thickness: Select high-quality materials from qualified suppliers to ensure that the thickness of the material is uniform and the edges are neat. Before the material enters the slitting machine, trim its edges and remove burrs to ensure smooth and neat edges of the material. Adjust the tension control system of the material, use tension control device to monitor and adjust the tension of the material in real time to ensure even and consistent tension during the cutting process.
Regular maintenance and upkeep of equipment: establish a system of equipment maintenance and upkeep, regularly inspect and maintain the equipment, find and deal with worn parts in time to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. Timely repair or replacement of faulty equipment: timely troubleshooting and repair of equipment, and replacement of damaged parts when necessary, to ensure normal operation of the equipment and improve the precision and quality of slitting.
