Blade changing robots and automatic separator discs

SALICO's range of accessories is designed to enhance the performance and flexibility of flat metal strip processing lines. These automation tools, including blade changing robots and automatic separator discs, aim to reduce downtime, improve safety, and ensure consistent product quality.

Blade changing robots: minimizing downtime

SALICO's blade changing robots automate the slitting tool exchange process, drastically reducing downtime and eliminating manual handling of sharp components. These systems ensure precise removal and installation of knives and spacers, maintaining correct alignment and clamping force for optimal cut quality. Depending on the application, the robot can be equipped with a variety of optional features—including a tool washing machine for blade cleaning, a knife edge inspection system to monitor wear, a QR code reader for tool identification and traceability, and a dedicated cabin enclosure for enhanced safety and environmental containment. These integrations make the system both safer and smarter, further improving efficiency and reliability across slitting operations.

Automatic separator discs: ensuring consistent coil separation

Automatic separators are essential for maintaining uniform coil separation during the slitting process. SALICO's systems are engineered to handle a wide range of materials, with thicknesses up to 16 mm, adjusting automatically to varying coil widths and diameters. This ensures consistent slit coil alignment, improves the quality of the final product, and eliminates the need for manual adjustments — boosting overall line efficiency and reducing labor costs.
