Coe installs fineblanking coil processing equipment at UTIL Canada

Coe Press Equipment, Sterling Heights, Mich., has announced the installation of its Fineblanking Edition HD straightener, coil reel with HD hold-down arm, and alligator-style peeler threader at backing plate manufacturer UTIL Canada. The straighteners provide the necessary roll force delivery and rigidity required to achieve the flatness and tolerance required for producing near-net-shape blanked parts, reports the company.

In addition to the 5- by 24-in. power straightener, the equipment includes a 24- by 18-in. threading table offering hands-free threading capability and a 15,000-lb. by 24-in. coil reel with multiple hydraulic hold-downs with motorized end wheels for coil containment.

The equipment can process high-strength steels up to 90,000-PSI yield at thicknesses from 0.118 to 0.475 in., depending on the width of the material. It can achieve a payoff rate up to 80 FPM.
