NEW SOPREM STRIP STRAIGHTENER FROM SHEAR-FORM

Posted June 11th, 2008

Press Release number: 01291SHEAR

A new Soprem Automation decoiler-straightener combination is available from Shear-Form Machine Tools Ltd, the Coventry based sheet metal and plate working machinery supplier’s and sole UK representative for the Swiss based coil processing system technology company.

The BR/9/100/25/U strip straightener fixed to a H100/900ZA/10M/LK decoiler is designed for use with a wide variety of strip materials including stainless steels, copper, brass and mild steels in high speed precision stamping of integrated industrial products including watch, automotive, aircraft and communications products.

This strip straightener has 9 rolls and 1 roll at the outlet x 25mm diameter hardened straightening rolls in sealed needle bearings thus avoiding greasing. It is able to straighten up to 100mm wide strip in thicknesses ranging from 0.1 –1,0 mm at adjustable speeds from 2 – 20m/min.

The guiding roll at the inlet of the straightener head ensure smooth passage of the strip through the straightener.

An available option is a straightener with the ability to open the upper straightening rolls for easy access when cleaning the rolls.

A Soprem control system uses an ultrasonic system on the top to ensure that the strip is fed into the straightener at the correct speed. The control system also has a contact plate on the bottom and an emergency switch to indicate a ‘no loop’ situation to stop the press.

The decoiler, comprising a base frame, decoiler shaft and bearings, 4 x self-centering arms mandrel, manually activated, has a maximum loading capacity of 100kg coils with an outer coil diameter of maximum 900mm and is able to take up to 100mm wide coils with an inner diameter from 200mm – 650mm.
