Profiling, Straightening and Cutting Lines

Integrated Profiling Straighten and Cut to length Machine

The IPC 13 line is fully integrated line for the production of straight lengths of high tensile steel bar for reinforcing purposes or for line / cross wires for welding into reinforcing fabric.

• The wire is fed from a payoff system. The payoff tpye is dependant on feed speeds required and coil type.
• The machine has roller reducing units to provide the required reduction in cross sectional area and to introduce the profiling onto the wire. The final profiling rollers are driven by AC motors with frequency controlled drives.
• The wire is straightened in a conventional straightening arbor and is cut to length in a rotating shear assembly. Length is determined from an electronic lengh input control Wires are discharged into a receiving tray with a pneumatic end alignment system.
• Extra features include bundle batching station

The Clifford ULTRACUT and OPTICUT wire straightening & cutting machines are designed as modular lines to accommodate a range of wire straightening and cutting requirements, for the high speed production of straightened and cut wire.

The machines are of a robust modular design and are offered with a range of different payoff options to suit the presenatation of the wire. The wire is driven by a series of feed wheels through a spinner assembly and is cut to length in a high speed flying shear. The shear is designed to give a flush, square end cut at maximum operating speed. Gearing between the feed and spinnerdrives ensures constant "spinner ratio" under all conditions to provide optimal straightness of the finished wire. The ULTRACUT can be supplied with three quick range spinners to cover a range of wire sizes from 3 - 12 mm.

The machine is designed to reduce the process induced vibration as much as possible to increase maintenance intervals and reduce running costs.

Length is digitally programmed for very quick length setting and changeovers. Batches are digitally controlled in predetermined sizes. The ULTRACUT can be supplied with various modular measurement systems depending on customer requirements.
