Key advantages

Easy and intuitive control system

Efficient with low maintenance requirements

Suitable for a wide range of materials commonly used in the construction industry

Capacity

Unmatched precision and flexibility.

Working length

1250 mm

Speed

25 m/min

Steel thickness

1,5 – 1,0 mm

Straightener

The EASY series is equipped with 3 manual straightening rollers that eliminate coil memory and consistently deliver straightened material. The rollers are made of polished steel and have a diameter of 70 mm. The pressure on the straightening rollers is adjusted with lockable handles equipped with a reference scale.

Infeed Guide

The rollers of the infeed guide are angled to match the loop of the material from a decoiler. This prevents damage and creases to softer materials such as copper, aluminum, and zinc.

Control system S1

S1 control system with touchscreen and intuitive functions. It is easy to program different quantities and lengths. The control system communicates with an electronic eye and automatically sets the zero point and performs a perpendicular clean cut. The control system has a material-saving function that stops the machine, raises the slitting knives, and feeds the sheet forward to the shear. An optional wireless remote control can operate a motorized decoiler or recoiler.

Infeed Table

The infeed table has four ball-bearing rollers that guide the sheet metal to the infeed rollers. Thanks to the ball bearings, the sheet metal can be fed forward and backward without the risk of damaging the edges. They also help keep the material parallel and ensure perpendicular cuts.

Film applicator

The film applicator can basically be mounted on any table. Using the deflection rollers and the fully rubberized feed rollers, the protective film is pressed on almost bubble and wrinkle-free. The device type F-AG z2mo has an additional arm with tension spring for tensioning the film during the return movement. This design is only applicable for single decoiling systems. Film applicator available in both 1250 and 1500 mm.

Manual coilselector

The manual coilselector is a very cost-effective solution for quick and easy manual sheet metal changes. Up to eight coils are fixed in the manual coilselector. The desired sheet metal is manually pushed into the downstream machine via a handwheel.

Recoiler

With this recoiler, slits or wide strips can be easily recoiled. The coils are wound tightly to a diameter of 508 mm and an optically clean coil is produced after wrapping and removal. The recoiler has a dancer arm, separating discs, a pneumatic felt brake, a motor and a hydraulic mandrel.

Fully rubberized pich rollers

If you want to prepare your line for a film applicator, then the option with the fully rubberized rollers is ideal for you. This means that your line is ideally prepared for retrofitting a film applicator at any time and with ease. Fully rubberized pinch rollers available in both 1250 and 1500 mm.

Roller shear for stainless steel

Upgrade the roller shear to one that is better suited for stainless steel.

Guillotine shear for stainless steel

Upgrade the guillotine shear to one that is better suited for stainless steel.

Upgrade speed

Standard feeding speed for EASY series is 25 m/min. You can upgrade the feeding speed to 35 m/min or 45 m/min.

Film Application

Film application equipment can essentially be mounted on all our infeed tables. Thanks to support rollers and rubberized feed rollers, the film is pressed onto the sheet metal without the risk of bubbles or wrinkles. The F-AG z2mo module has an extra arm with a tension spring that tightens the film during the return motion. This design is only applicable to systems with one decoiler.
