The automatic feeding and cutting production line is a cutting-edge solution designed to efficiently convert coiled material into sheet-like boards. This state-of-the-art system consists of six key processes: uncoiling, leveling, feeding, cutting, conveying, and stacking. Let’s delve into the details of each component and explore how they work together seamlessly to achieve fully automated cutting and material handling operations.
1. Uncoiling: Efficiently Setting the Stage
At the beginning of the process, the material coil is lifted and placed into the hydraulic decoiler. This versatile decoiler can be positioned on a cart or V-shaped support with the help of a crane or forklift. The hydraulic cylinder is then activated to tighten the coil securely. The decoiler motor is gently started to rotate the material, guiding it to the upper right position. Simultaneously, the pneumatic pressure arm applies pressure on the surface of the coil. Once everything is in place, the band holding the material is released, and the decoiler unwinds the material, effectively completing the loading and feeding tasks.
2. Leveling: Ensuring Precision and Flatness
After passing through the decoiler, the material enters the medium (or thick) plate leveling machine. Here, the upper roller of the leveling machine lowers to press the material, and the decoiler is powered off. The material is then smoothly fed through the leveling machine, and adjustments are made to the pressure of the lower rollers based on the material’s thickness. This meticulous process ensures optimal leveling, resulting in precise and flat sheet pieces.
3. Feeding: Seamless and Stepwise
Once the material is leveled, it is seamlessly fed into the NC servo feeder. Initially, the material’s transfer is manually controlled using a control handle for ease of handling. The next step involves activating the shearing machine, which efficiently cuts off the material end. With the help of the touch screen on the NC servo feeder’s control cabinet, the length and frequency of material feeding are set, and the number of sheets to be stacked on the stacking table is determined based on the material thickness. The stacking counter is then reset.
4. Cutting: Precision in Action
Pressing the “Auto Start” button on the NC servo feeder initiates the automatic feeding process. The system automatically cuts the material when the feeding length reaches the set step distance. This precise cutting action ensures consistent and accurate sheet pieces, meeting the required specifications with each cut.
5. Conveying: Efficient Material Transportation
The cut pieces are conveyed effortlessly to the stacking table through a well-designed conveyor belt. This seamless transportation ensures that the cut sheets reach the stacking table without any disruption or damage.
6. Stacking: Orderly Arrangement
Upon reaching the stacking table, the cut pieces undergo longitudinal and lateral alignment to ensure a neat and orderly arrangement of steel sheets. The front end of the stacking table is equipped with material level detection, enabling automatic descent of the table when the stacked sheets reach the desired height. Once the desired number of stacked sheets is achieved, the automatic feeding process stops, and the operator can proceed to remove the stacked sheets from the table. At this point, the stacking counter is reset, allowing the system to enter an automatic cycle, ready for the next cutting production.
In conclusion, the automatic feeding and cutting production line is a marvel of modern engineering, streamlining the process of converting coiled material into sheet-like boards. With its six key components working in perfect harmony, this system ensures efficiency, precision, and fully automated material handling. Its contribution to industrial automation and productivity cannot be overstated, making it an invaluable asset in the manufacturing landscape.
