BLO Compact Cross-Cutting Line (4-6mm Thickness Capacity)

BLO Machinery's compact cross-cutting line represents a highly efficient and integrated solution for processing metal coils into precise flat sheets. Designed for optimal performance with materials up to 4-6mm in thickness, this system combines uncoiling, guided feeding, leveling, and motorized cutting into a streamlined, space-saving footprint. It is engineered for manufacturers requiring high productivity, exceptional flatness, and superior surface quality in their output.

Key Features & Workflow

The operation of the compact cross-cutting line is a seamless automated process:

1. Uncoiling & Feeding: The process begins with a robust uncoiling unit, which securely holds and feeds the metal coil into the line. An optional edge position control (EPC) system can be integrated to ensure precise lateral alignment of the strip during feeding, minimizing material waste and optimizing cut accuracy.

2. Guided Entry & Leveling: The material is then directed through a guided entry system, which smoothly introduces the strip into the critical leveling (or flattening) unit. This unit typically features a series of hardened steel leveling rollers (e.g., a 5-roll leveling system as mentioned in1) that effectively eliminate coil set, crossbow, and other imperfections from the material, ensuring perfectly flat sheets for subsequent processing.

3. Motorized Cutting: The heart of the cutting operation is a high-precision motorized shear. This is often an electric mechanical guillotine shear1 or a servo-driven cutting mechanism8. It receives instructions from the central control system to execute clean, burr-minimized cuts at predetermined lengths with high repeatability.

Technical Highlights

1. Material Versatility: Capable of processing carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. With optional hardened or chrome-plated rollers, it can handle coated or sensitive materials without surface damage.

2. Control System: Managed by an advanced PLC-based control system with a user-friendly color touchscreen interface (HMI). This system allows for easy programming, storage of numerous cutting recipes, real-time monitoring, and production data tracking.

3. Accuracy & Efficiency: Designed for high-speed production while maintaining tight tolerances on cut length and superior flatness. The integrated design significantly improves material utilization and reduces handling marks/scratches.

4. Compact Design: As the name implies, its structure is optimized to occupy minimal floor space, making it ideal for workshops where space is at a premium, without compromising on capability or performance.
