COE Press Equipment announced that it has delivered a new coil processing line to Apodaca, Mexico for a supplier of automotive stampings and fine-blanked components. The line consists of a 36-in. COE servo roll feed, a 36-in. x 16-ft threading table, a 3-in. x 36-in. power straightener, a 20,000-lb. x 36-in. double-ended coil reel and Allen Bradley CompactLogix controls.
The line will be used primarily for processing cold rolled steel (CRS) at thicknesses of 0.025-in. to 0.187-in. depending upon the coil width, but can also process AHSS. It can achieve a speed of 409 feet/minute with a feed accuracy of + 0.003-in. Both the feed and straightener feature non-marking chrome rollers, self-centering edge guides and hand crank adjustments.
In addition to the equipment, COE also provided installation, startup and technical training.
