Coil Unwinder/Straightener/Feeder handles high-strength materials.

COE Introduces SpaceMaster Series 4 Coil Feed Line

Sterling Heights, Mich. – COE Press Equipment is featuring its new SpaceMaster Series 4 compact coil lines at FABTECH 2015 in booth #S4734. The compact coil line combines unwinding, straightening and feeding of coil stock into one piece of compact equipment capable of processing higher strength, higher yield materials within space-constrained areas. The SpaceMaster Series 4 fits within 22-ft. of floor space where a conventional line would require a 40-ft. to 50-ft. footprint.

The Series 4 Feeder-Straightener features COE's new servo-actuated pilot release of the upper straightener rolls. The servo driven lift mechanism provides more accurate piloting timing, faster pilot release, and higher SPM's than hydraulic and pneumatic designs. The systems also feature powered pull-off rolls to maintain tension on heavy-gauge and high-strength materials.

The SpaceMaster Series 4 is capable of handling materials from.020-in to .40-in. thick, 12-in. to 72-in. wide, and 10,000-lb. to 60,000-lb. coil weights. Materials capable of being processed include CRS, HRS, AHSS, stainless and aluminum. The systems are capable of achieving press feeding speeds of 70 to 80 SPM as compared to 40 to 50 SPM in traditional compact coil lines.

Other features such as powered coil guides, hydraulic hold down with motorized endwheel, and pivoting peeler-debender are provided for effective coil containment and threading. Payoff is controlled by a linespeed averaging loop control and material is directed into a horizontal loop cage to optimize slack loop storage. These machines are provided as standard with all necessary features for effective coil containment, hands-free threading, and accurate feeding of the coil strip.
