| Phoenix Metals Purchases Sixth Red Bud Precision Blanking Line |
Phoenix Metals (www.PhoenixMetals.net) of Norcross, Georgia, recently ordered a Red Bud Industries’ Precision Multi-Blanking Line, their sixth Red Bud Line overall. The line is scheduled to ship to their new facility in Middletown, Ohio. The line will be capable of processing mild steel and Aluminum up to .135" (3.4 mm) or stainless up to .105" (2.7 mm) as presently configured. Space is being left in the line to add an additional Heavy Gage Leveler at a later date to allow Phoenix to process up to .250" (6.35 mm) stainless steel plate. Phoenix currently processes up to 3/8" (9.5 mm) x 72" (1829 mm) wide stainless plate in its Charlotte facility and up to 1/4" (6.35 mm) x 72" (1829 mm) wide stainless plate in its Nashville facility on Red Bud Industries’ Blanking Lines.
Featured in the line will be Red Bud’s Precision Grip Feed System and CNC Programmable Slitter. This combination of machines will give Phoenix the capability of producing blanks with width and length tolerances of + .005" (.127 mm). The CNC Slitter can be set up in less than two
| | minutes per cut, thus eliminating costly downtime that can occur when using conventional packed arbor Slitters. An additional advantage to the system will be the Automatic Strip Divider Positioning. While the operator is setting up the Slitting Head, the Strip Divider Positioning System will automatically set up the dividers in the Strip Stacker. When the operator has finished setting up the Slitting Head, the Strip Stacker will be ready to run blanks.
The new line will be capable of processing coils up to 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) at widths up to 72" (1829 mm) and thicknesses up to .135" (3.4 mm). The new line will consist of a Coil Stage & Load System, Uncoiler, Peeler Breaker, Crop Shear, Herr-Voss Leveler, “Pop Up” Flatness Inspection Table, Top and Bottom side PVC Applicator, “Hands Free” Thread System, Dual Motor Heavy Gage Grip Feed, CNC Programmable Slitter, Scrap Winders, Shear, Combination Drop/Strip Stacker, Part Diverter, Automatically Lowering Stack Table, and Side Discharge Rollouts.
