Steel Coil Processing Feed Line Equipment
Colt's Conventional Feed Lines bring Mechanical Engineering Science
& Advanced Software Fabrication
Colt’s Conventional Coil Feed Lines for processing sheet metal coils in a variety of materials have been specifically engineered to meet your long-term and short-term needs and are suited to all press types. Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) and High-Strength Steel (HSS) have rapidly become a popular material used by stamping fabricators to build automotive parts, parts for appliances, batteries and so much more.
To process bulk sheet metal coils made from AHSS and other such thick gauge steel takes specialized equipment to deliver fast and accurately to the Press. Colt’s coil handling equipment has dramatically increased the efficiency and throughput of pressrooms.
Advanced controls and mechanical enhancements increase profitability, reduce downtime and has become a staple for steel coil handling feed lines.
Conventional Feed Line equipment include: Uncoiler / Decoilers, Peelers & Threaders, Powered Straighteners, Threading/Looping Table, Servo Feeder and other coil tail technologies.
Modular Equipment For Maximum Efficiency And Flexibility
Each individual Coil Processing Equipment Feed Line Component is precision engineered and can operate independently or as part of a common feed line. This allows for future proofing as material changes. Each separate component can be replaced or retrofitted as, and when required. Greater flexibility at lower costs change only the piece of equipment you need when you need it.
