“The precision we’ve built into our straightening heads enables us to offer feed lines capable of achieving the flatness and tight tolerances required for fineblanking, helping efficiently deliver specialized stampings with high dimensional accuracy,” said Steve Donnay, director of sales and marketing for COE.
Fineblanked parts are often produced from thick and high-strength material, which can be dangerous to handle manually. To address this issue, COE’s fineblanking lines feature coil reels with multiple hydraulic hold downs with motorized endwheels for effective coil containment. The mandrel and motorized endwheels rotate in unison for effective threading and rewinding. Additionally, COE’s pivoting “alligator” style peeler-debender offers a hands-free, modular approach to threading.
COE’s fineblanking lines can process materials at widths from 1.0” to 36.0”, thickness up to .500”, and coil weights up to 40,000 lbs. They can process materials with yield strengths up to 1000 Mpa while holding flatness tolerances of .003” TIR per square foot.
