How to use the slitting machine？

The core usage steps of the slitting machine are: preparation for debugging → feeding and film penetration → setting parameters → trial machine running → formal production → shutdown and finishing. Operating according to the process can ensure slitting accuracy and efficiency.

1. Preparation before startup

Check the equipment status: Confirm that the power supply and air source (pneumatic type) of the slitting machine are normal, the blades have no gaps, the blade shaft is not loose, and all transmission components are adequately lubricated.

Cleaning the work area: Remove debris around the machine, ensure that there are no obstacles in the winding and unwinding areas, and avoid affecting the operation of materials.

Prepare consumables and tools: Prepare the raw materials to be cut (such as film, paper, non-woven fabric), winding reel, tape, etc., and calibrate the measuring tools (such as tape measure) in advance.

2. Loading and film penetration

Fixed raw materials: Fix the raw material roll on the unwinding reel, adjust the tension to ensure smooth rotation of the raw material roll without deviation.

Thread through film: According to the machine guide roller identification, pass one end of the raw material through the guide roller, correction device, knife holder, and traction roller in sequence, and finally fix it on the winding shaft.

Adjust alignment: Ensure that the edges of the raw material are aligned with the tool holder reference line to avoid problems such as oblique cuts and uneven widths during cutting.

3. Parameter setting

Set cutting width: Adjust the spacing between tool holders according to requirements, use measuring tools to confirm the width of each section of material, and tighten the blade fixing screws.

Adjust speed and tension: Based on the material characteristics (such as easy stretchability of thin films and high tension required for thick paper), set the unwinding, traction, and winding speeds (recommended starting from low speed), as well as appropriate tension values to prevent material wrinkling or breakage.

Set winding parameters: Select the winding method (such as center winding, surface winding), adjust the winding pressure to ensure that the winding is neat and without looseness.

4. Testing and adjustment

Low speed test run: Start the machine and test run at 10% -30% of the rated speed to observe the material running status.

Inspection and correction: After stopping the machine, measure the width of the cut material and check whether the edges are flat and free of burrs. If there is any deviation, adjust the position of the tool holder, correction parameters or tension.

Repeat the machine test: until the cutting accuracy and winding flatness meet the requirements, then gradually increase the speed.

5. Formal production

Speed up production: After confirming the correctness of the trial run, slowly increase the machine speed to the set value, and observe the material operation, tool holder status, and winding situation throughout the process.

Regular inspection: Check every 10-15 minutes during the production process to promptly address issues such as material deviation, blade wear, and loose winding.

Record data: Record production speed, output, pass rate and other parameters for subsequent optimization and adjustment.

6. Shutdown and Closing

Normal shutdown: After production is completed, reduce the speed first, wait for the materials to be fully wound up, and then turn off the machine's power and gas source.

Cleaning and organization: Remove the finished products that have been rolled up, clean the waste and dust on the machine, check if the blades need to be polished or replaced, and clean the equipment.

Safe storage: Organize raw materials and finished products, put tools back in place, turn off the power in the work area, and ensure safety.
