"Medium gauge cut to length line mainly processes metal coils with a thickness ranging from 0.3 to 6mm. And this medium gauge cut to length machine can handle include stainless steel, common steel, hot-rolled steel, cold-rolled steel, aluminum and many other metal materials. Medium gauge cut to length line precisely shears the metal coils according to the preset length by the customer, and ultimately produces fixed-length plates of uniform size.
This medium gauge cut to length machine effectively fills the processing gap between light gauge cut to length lines (0.2-3mm) and heavy gauge cut to length lines (6-20mm), forming a specialized metal cut to length line manufacturing solution covering the thickness range of 0.3-6mm. The thickness range of materials processed by the medium gauge cut to length machine is more suitable for a wide range of industries such as metal processing, automobiles, and electronics. By stably producing medium-sized plates with uniform dimensions and high precision, the medium gauge cut to length line enhances production efficiency for various downstream industries."

▏Manufacturing Difficulty of Medium Gauge Cut to Length Line
(1) Multiple metal material for medium gauge cut to length line
A medium gauge cut to length machine can often be compatible with the processing of various metal materials such as aluminum, iron, steel, and stainless steel. However, the physical properties of different materials vary greatly, so targeted requirements are put forward for the design of each link of the medium gauge cut to length machine. During the uncoiling process, an adjustable tension control system needs to be designed. For soft rolls, the tension should be reduced to prevent stretching deformation, while for hard rolls, the tension should be increased to ensure stable uncoiling. In the leveling process, an adjustable pressure mechanism for the leveling rollers should be equipped. For soft materials, the pressure should be reduced; for hard materials, the pressure should be increased. At the same time, the material of the leveling rollers also needs to be compatible. For example, for stainless steel, high-hardness and wear-resistant rollers should be selected to avoid wear on the roller surface. In the shearing process, a tool system that can be quickly replaced needs to be designed. Different materials should be matched with tools of different materials, and the tool clearance should be adjusted in real time according to the thickness and hardness of the material.
(2) Blade quality for medium gauge cut to length machine
The blades of the medium gauge cut to length machine determine the cut quality and service life of the metal sheet. To ensure the performance of the blade, special attention should be paid to the selection of blade material and the processing accuracy of the blade during the manufacturing process of the medium gauge cut to length machine. KINGREAL SLITTING engineers will select blades of different hardness based on the customers' processing requirements for materials and thickness to apply in various solutions of the medium gauge cut to length machine. For instance, hardness levels HRC62-65 and HRC85-90 are the most commonly used blade materials for KINGREAL SLITTING medium gauge cut to length lines. Choosing materials with high hardness, good toughness and strong wear resistance can ensure that the medium gauge cut to length machine can cut out plates with high precision. Secondly, during the manufacturing process of the medium gauge cut to length line, it is necessary to ensure that the verticality error of the cutting edge of the blade is controlled within ± 0.01mm.
(3) Speed control for medium gauge cut to length line
The production speed of the medium gauge cut to length machine directly affects the processing efficiency. The maximum production speed of KINGREAL SLITTING medium gauge cut to length line can reach 80m/min. Meanwhile, KINGREAL SLITTING can also provide models with different speed specifications such as 50m/min and 30m/min to meet the production capacity requirements of different customers. During the medium gauge cut to length line manufacturing process, it is necessary to ensure that the medium gauge cut to length machine can operate stably at the maximum production speed, and at the same time, maintain processing accuracy and stability at other speed Settings within the maximum speed. KINGREAL SLITTING engineers will equip the medium gauge cut to length lines with high-performance drive systems, such as servo motors and precision reducers, to ensure the speed synchronization of components like the decoiler, double-roll clamping feeder, and cut-to-length machine, preventing the accumulation or stretching of rolls due to speed differences. At the same time, a complete speed regulation and feedback mechanism will be designed for the medium gauge cut to length line. Through the PLC control system, the speed signals of each component will be collected in real time. When the speed fluctuates, the system can quickly adjust the driving parameters and control the speed deviation within an extremely small range (usually ≤±1%).
(4) Quality of each component for medium gauge cut to length line
The medium gauge cut to length machine is composed of multiple precision components such as the decoiler, the leveling machine, the cut-to-length machine, and the stacker. The quality of each component directly affects the overall performance of the medium gauge cut to length line. Therefore, during the medium gauge cut to length machine manufacturing process, the quality of each component must be strictly controlled. KINGREAL SLITTING engineers have strict range requirements for the concentricity error of the tensioning shaft in the decoiler, the roughness of the roller surface in the leveling machine, the installation accuracy of the cutting tools in the cut-to-length machine, and the positioning accuracy of the lifting platform in the automatic stacker.
