Coil Fed Laser Blanking Systems

Chicago Slitter is proud to announce their new Coil Fed Laser Blanking System, the future of laser cutting. Our patented system allows for the continuous laser cutting and stacking of parts from coil, allowing for production gains of 50% or more over traditional sheet fed systems while eliminating the manual labor required to stack finished parts and dispose of scrap. This system can also be used in place of mechanical blanking systems in automotive applications, eliminating the expense of hard tooling and allowing for greater flexibility with a smaller footprint than a blanking press. Chicago Slitter is your trusted source for the future of Coil Processing.

Surface finisher produces matte, satin and other decorative surfaces

CS Unitec's PTX Eco Smart Professional Surface Finisher produces matte, satin and other fine surfaces up to a mirror finish on steel, stainless steel and nonferrous metals. The PTX is also perfect for coarse grinding jobs such as removing welds, deep scratches, oxidation, rust and paint. It can also polish inside corners. This surface finisher's patented abrasive mounting system saves time, reduces costs and eliminates vibration. This unique system allows grinding and polishing wheels to be changed in seconds, without tools or hardware. The hollow-core abrasive wheel simply slides onto the PTX Eco Smart's finned, rigid rubber shaft. It then secures itself automatically when the machine turns.

Lens Stress Analyzers

Even the best of lenses can go bad. Thermal stress, mechanical stress, and contamination can all cause a lens to fail. When that happens, your business can suffer from costly downtime or, in the event of catastrophic lens failure, even costlier laser system repairs. Conversely, you don’t want to discard a perfectly useable lens that may only need cleaned to return it to peak performance. The question, then, is how can you determine when a lens is truly in need of replacement? II-VI Infrared, the optics foundry to CO₂ laser OEMs worldwide and your single-source supplier for all of your CO₂ laser consumables needs, has your answer. Our NEW, portable Lens Stress Analyzers enable you to see lens stress before catastrophic lens failure occurs. Or see that an underperforming lens need only be cleaned, rather than discarded.
