One of the processes within the field of finishing lines which demands more dedication and interaction of the operators for line preparation are the slitting lines due to the time which is needed for preparation of the slitter head tools. In the case of high thickness strips, in addition to time, heavy loads to be carried by operator are to be considered.
Inspired by the necessity of our customers, SALICO developed a very advanced single or dual robot system, fully engineered, designed, manufactured and automated in house for automatic and intensive cleaning of the tools, inspection and preparation of the tools set ups. All operations are automated and do not require operator intervention, except for process supervision.
