The following aspects need to be paid attention to when slitting metal foil materials:
1. Mechanical selection
The slitting quality of metal foil materials is closely related to the slitting machinery used. Machines suitable for metal foil slitting include hanging slitting machines, automatic slitting machines, and pneumatic slitting machines, etc. When choosing machinery, it should be decided according to the production capacity, slitting accuracy and actual situation.
2. The cutter head setting
1. Angle and knife edge selection: The angle of the cutter head and the shape of the knife edge should correspond to the thickness of the metal foil. Improper angles and knife edges may lead to damage to the foil and a decrease in slitting efficiency.
2. Blade material and precision: The blade should have the characteristics of high sharpness and wear resistance, and generally use high-carbon steel, alloy steel and other materials. At the same time, the accuracy of the blade is also an important factor affecting the cutting effect, including straight line accuracy, end face accuracy, etc.
3. Slitting speed
The setting of slitting speed is related to the quality and slitting efficiency of metal foil. Too fast can cause foil breakage or uneven slitting, and too slow can affect productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the slitting speed according to the metal foil of different thicknesses and sizes.
4. Tension control
During the foil slitting process, tension control is key to ensuring that the foil is rolled onto the core as standard. Excessive tension may cause wrinkles in the foil, and insufficient tension may cause the foil to slip or misalign on the reel. Therefore, the slitting machine must have a good tension detection system to ensure stable control of tension.
5. Surface protection
During the slitting process, care should be taken to protect the surface of the metal foil. Avoid using excessively sharp blades or excessively high temperature environments to avoid damage to the metal foil. At the same time, some anti-rust and protective lubricants can be used to protect the surface quality of the metal foil.
6. Cleaning and maintenance
1. Keep it clean: Accumulated foil debris and dust can affect the quality and efficiency of slitting, and may also affect the working environment and the health of workers. Therefore, the machine and the surrounding environment should be cleaned regularly.
2. Equipment maintenance: Maintain the equipment according to the use time prompts to ensure the stable operation and prolong the service life of the equipment.
7. Safety and Operation
1. Operation specifications: The operator should be familiar with the operation specifications and safety precautions of the slitting machine to ensure the correct and safe operation of the equipment.
2. Protective measures: During the slitting process, necessary protective measures should be taken, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves, etc., to ensure the safety of operators.
In summary, metal foil slitting needs to pay attention to many aspects such as mechanical selection, cutter head setting, slitting speed, tension control, surface protection, cleaning and maintenance, and safety and operation. By following these precautions, you can improve slitting quality and efficiency, reduce loss rates, and ensure operator safety.
PET, OPP, and PVC have significant differences in the key points of slitting process and equipment selection due to their different physical properties of substrates and coatings.
