Slitting is a metal manufacturing process wherein a coil of material,
such as aluminum or steel, is slit into the lengths and widths specified by the end application. As the material runs
through the machine, the steel rolls are moved through extremely sharp circular blades, making the cuts. In order
to make the slice, substantial compressive forces must be appliedand when the forces exceed the tensile strength
of the material, it slices. The end product is long strips of material cut to the buyer’s specifications.A steel slitting
machine is comprised of three major partsthe uncoiler, the slitter, and the recoiler. To ensure that the quality of the
process is optimized, each element must be precisely aligned during setup.
