THE CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
As part of a recent expansion project, JW Aluminum in Goose Creek, South Carolina, was in need of a new wide tension leveler to process wider coils that were now produced by its new melters, caster and mill. JW Aluminum turned to Machine Concepts.
THE SOLUTION
Machine Concepts engineered and built one of the industry’s widest tension levelers at an impressive 84 inches (7 feet) wide with serious leveling capabilities to support JW Aluminum in its expansion and increased production capabilities.
THE LEVELER’S KEY TECHNOLOGIES
The highly automated, push-button operating system designed and built by Machine Concepts is comprised of:
The cell also features areas for tool storage, allowing for quick changes to the robot end-of-arm tooling and part locating fixtures
THE RESULTS
SUSTAINABILITY
To lower cost, address energy consumption and provide a green solution, the entry bridle roll motors incorporate two capabilities:
For fast and seamless maintenance, both bridle roll stands incorporate a unique split pillow block design allowing easy removal of any bridle roll. If damaged or worn, any bridle roll can be removed, ground and replaced without affecting the system.
Furthermore, the upper and lower work rolls are incorporated into roll modules for quick inspection and cleaning. The lower work roll modules exit the line via a powered hydraulic cylinder system, while the upper work roll modules rotate 180 degrees from their working position to easily expose the work rolls.
