The cut-to-length line has a coil capacity of 0.135” x 60” wide x 60,000 lbs (~3.5 mm x 1,525 mm wide x 27 metric tons) and operates at 300 feet (~91 m) per minute. It can handle yield strengths up to 80,000 PSI and process cold-rolled, pickled and oiled, stainless, and coated materials.
Key features of the new line include a heavy-duty precision leveler designed for increased separating loads, a split leveler drive system ensuring greater leveling performance and a high-performance roll feed system offering high accuracy and repeatability. The production shear has a capability of 60 cuts per minute, with sheet inspection following the shear. Additional features are a reject stacking mode, an air float stacker and weigh scale, as well as a line safety fencing with gate interlocks per ANSI requirements.
