SPACE SAVER FEED LINES
Full Feed Line Performance – Up to 50% Less Space
Example – Colt Automation CSSU-4000-42 Space Saver. Total Feed Line Length: 7.1 meters (23.3 ft)
COLT (CSSU) SPACE SAVER FEED LINES now available with high-speed Servo Piloting
Colt first introduced Space Savers back in the 1980’s and the evolution has continued. Colt Space Savers offer the flexibility and the big performance of a conventional feed line, but within a smaller footprint.
DUAL MODE TORQUE DRIVE UNCOILER TECHNOLOGY – AN INDUSTRY FIRST
Coil Retaining Arms | Hold Down Arm w/ Powered End Wheel | Full Back Loop Assembly | Tail Control | High Reach Coil Car w/ Powered Nest Rolls | Hands-Free Threading
THINNER COIL MATERIAL >.100”
Advanced and synchronized controls allow thinner material to feed directly into the 7,9,11 or 13 Roll AHSS Feeder/Straightener. The torque drive Uncoiler assists to pay off while still maintaining tension.
THICKER COIL MATERIAL <.100”
Thicker, heavier coil stock over .100” is precisely controlled into a full width Pinch Roll Assembly under managed tension to fill laser monitored back loop assembly synchronized to the throughput speed of the Feeder/Straightener.
AHSS FEEDER/STRAIGHTENER
Equipped with Extendable Peeler Blade and Full Alligator/Dekinker Threading Assembly. Featuring Aviation grade Straightener, Pinch Rolls and gears with Multiple Back-Up Roll options for AHSS to 1200Mpa, piloting to press Speeds, and tail-out mode, best in class performance.
ADVANCED CONTROLS
Latest release open platform, advanced programming PLC’s & HMI, Servo Drive Technology provide fully automated & recipe options for all functions.
Colt Automation is a pioneer in space saver coil feed line design, offering a variety of different styles for heavier gauge, light gauge, mild steel, or AHSS. The introduction of the powered Torque Drive Reel / Uncoiler (2012) allows fully synchronized fixability to feed directly into the Feeder/Straightener of the back loop.
