[B]ABSTRACT:[/B]

Trading the sheet metal coil processing includes slitting and cut-to-length lines. The sized rectangular sheets given by these lines are then fed to downstream equipment for blanking/punching/forming operations.
The recent developments over last few years enable process change by exploiting full potential of coil processing concept.
The major developments discussed include:
• Flexible cut-to-length cum slitting line
• Punching & folding lines
• Auto-blanking lines
• Press feed lines with progressive tools.
This change of process leads to number of quantifiable benefits like cycle time reduction, inventory reduction, flexibility to changeover quickly, faster production runs, better material utilization, consistent quality, etc.
With many quantifiable and qualitative benefits it is high time for all sheet metal users to give coil processing a fresh look.
