Coil Fed Laser Blanking Systems

Chicago Slitter announces its new Coil Fed Laser System, the latest innovation in laser cutting. This patented system combines the benefits of continuous coil feeding with the precision and flexibility of laser cutting resulting in unmatched cost savings. Laser cutting from coil reduces cost per part by providing greater flexibility to quickly change between production runs and reduces manual labor for handling sheets and stacking finished parts. When compared to mechanical blanking systems the coil fed laser system eliminates the cost of expensive dies, provides the ability to cut high strength steels, and requires a smaller foot print freeing up more production floor space.
