Edge conditioning is the metal process of rolling strip or coil to smooth edges. By removing burrs on the coil, it is easier for customers to operate.

VALUE-ADDED SERVICES

Sheet metal is usually produced by rolling into relatively wide strip form. To provide strip metal in a variety of commercially required widths (usually much narrower than rolled strip), wide plates are passed through slitting machines or other continuously acting shearing devices. This will cut the metal lengthwise along the desired line or lines. The severed edges of the resulting product strips are often characterized by sharp corners, indeed in particular at least one such corner along each edge is more or less upset. It may have other irregularities or protrusions that are undesirable for further processing or use of the roll. We pride ourselves on our ability to smooth every edge to ensure no burrs and essentially no straight or sharp corners.

An oscillating or transverse winding line is a metal processing line that unwinds metal strip from a coil and then rewinds it onto a spool in a transverse fashion. There is no single traverse pattern that is best for every material. Carry out horizontal wind so that the return points of each layer are the same. Indexed wind consists of programmed stacked channels, each channel having a specific programmed index to the next channel (also known as step wind). The goal of transverse winding is to wind longer lengths of metal strip onto a single reel. The best mode for a given material depends on material properties, processing conditions, unwinding requirements and pay-off speed.

The linear length and weight of an oscillating coil are 25 times that of a tape-wound coil, significantly reducing labor and downtime when equipment is stopped for reloading and restarting.
