Technical specifications
The most relevant machines that may be integrated into a cutting line with a press are as follows:
Levellers
Our catalogue includes a comprehensive range of levellers to cover a range of working thicknesses required for this type of line. Depending on the thickness to be processed, as well as the application, mechanical levellers or hydraulic levellers could potentially be used. In addition to the above, the leveller will have additional functions so that it can be adapted to the degree of automation and productivity required by the line, such as automatic cassette changing (< 5 min), LSA (Leveller Setting Assistance), multi-drive and application control, a roller cleaning system, levelling roller ‘know-how’ and other features.
The function of the leveller is to eliminate the internal tensions derived from the coil manufacturing process, as well as to eliminate local defects (pockets, ripples, etc.).
Press
Depending on the target productivity, the press may be mechanical (eccentric or link-drive), working at 65 strokes / min, or a servo press achieving up to 85 strokes / min. In addition, the presses may have a variety of moving table configurations, including fully automatic table changeover.
Oscillating Die
We offer two types of oscillating dies: press-bonded dies (the upper part is fixed on the slide and moves solidly) and tapping dies. Both solutions have an oscillation solution (up to 35º) that works with the line in a totally integrated and automated manner. The cutting gap is automatically adjusted to suit the line.
Stackers
These are the machines responsible for removing the material cut by the shears. At Bliss & Reels, we have a wide range of stackers to process a wide range of materials and thicknesses, the most notable being electromagnetic, vacuum, hybrid, pick-up, bomb-door and blower stackers. The configuration of the stackers is complemented by a series of auxiliary machines such as scissor tables, carts, shears, cleaning systems and strapping machines, among others.
Depending on the thickness, the stackers could be divided as follows:
- Thin thicknesses:
- Electromagnetic stackers
- Vacuum stackers
- Hybrid stackers
- Blow stackers
- Medium-thick thicknesses:
- Pick-up stackers
- Bomb-door stackers
The basic characteristics of a press cutting line are as follows:
| BASIC FEATURES |
| Maximum belt width | mm | 2,500 |
| Thicknesses | mm | 0.3 – 5 |
| Cuts | spm | 80 |
| Maximum speed | m/min | 100 |
| Part length | mm | 5,000 |
| Maximum coil weight | Tons | 40 |
As complementary solutions, we have a whole series of solutions dedicated to the automotive sector:
- Removable washing machines: for coil and for formats
- Height-adjustable cyclical rollers.
- End-of-coil processing systems.
- Anti-noise and anti-dust cabins.
- Automatic pallet loading.
- Controlled package extraction.
- Comprehensive monitoring and multimedia display, etc.
- Automatic marking system.
All our lines meet the most demanding EC, OSHA, etc. standards.
