Uncoiler
Overview
The uncoiler, as the name implies, is the process of opening the steel coil and introducing a section of the steel coil into the later operation. This is the function of the uncoiler. In various production, the uncoiler has played an important role.
The uncoiler can also avoid uncoiling and adjust the tension on the strip.This is how the uncoiler of the welding line can avoid the recoil of the end of the strip before it is bitten by the next device after the tape is opened. The process is shown as the below.
- Insert the steel roll into the uncoiler mandrel, and meanwhile, expand the mandrel to tension and fix the steel roll. The uncoil mandrel is driven to rotate by variable-frequency AC motor, so as to make the steel plate to maintain the required certain back tension.
- The uncoil mandrel is cantilever type and is driven by chains and standard reducer.
- The gearbox base is made up by heavy steel plate.
- In the mandrel, there are four expandable valves, and the expanding and retracting of the valves are controlled by the revolving hydraulic cylinder at the mandrel tail.
- There are four main sliding blocks made of bronze.
- The maximum diameter of the expanded mandrel with rubber sleeve is 508mm or 610mm.
