Smart Trimming, Inspection, and Recoiling Line by ALEKVS

An integrated Trimming, Inspection, and Recoiling Line is an efficient coil finishing solution that combines edge trimming, surface inspection, and recoiling functions. It is suitable for a wide range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys.

This type of line is especially designed for steel mill finishing lines, metal service centers, and high-end processing facilities to enhance edge quality, enable in-line quality control, and optimize coil packaging and delivery.

  • Edge Trimming: High-precision trimming knives remove burrs, cracks, and edge waves from the coil edges, significantly improving overall edge quality.
  • Surface Inspection: Manual or automated visual systems continuously monitor surface defects such as scratches, coating irregularities, and inclusions in real time.
  • Automatic Recoiling: After trimming and inspection, the strip is recoiled under controlled tension to ensure optimal winding tightness for safe storage, transportation, and downstream processing.

Key Process Modules Introduction

Edge Trimming System

  • Precisely trims both edges of the strip to the required width.
  • Equipped with the ALEKVS-customized EdgeMon® edge monitoring system to ensure stable trimming.
  • Integrated scrap handling system (such as scrap coiling or shredding units) for efficient waste recovery.

Tension Levelling Section

  • Improves strip flatness by eliminating residual bends and waves.
  • Enhances surface finish and thickness uniformity through coordinated tension control and roll system.
  • Supports integration with flying shear and high-precision measuring devices, such as the PropertyMon module.

Inspection Module

  • Utilizes advanced vision inspection and automated defect recognition systems.
  • Optional lighting observation platform for manual assistance during inspection.
  • Defective material can be automatically removed or coil-welded for repair under tension or non-tension conditions.
  • Seamlessly integrates with secondary MES systems to enable real-time data tracking and defect marking.

Recoiling Module

  • Rewinds the processed strip into target coil specifications.
  • Provides precise, constant tension winding without lateral deviation.
  • Supports a variety of master and sub-coil sizes, with coil weights up to 40 tons.
  • Features automatic coil positioning and flexible unloading devices to improve coil changeover efficiency.

Technical Advantages

  • Enhanced Edge Quality: Burrs and cracks are removed to improve edge consistency and welding performance across the coil.
  • Pre-Delivery Defect Detection: Integrated inspection bridges continuously monitor surface quality to ensure the delivered material meets customer specifications.
  • High Processing Efficiency: The Trimming, Inspection and Recoiling Line enables continuous trimming, inspection, and recoiling with a high level of automation.
  • Labor and Space Saving: Automatic centering, tension control, and recoiling functions reduce manual intervention and minimize equipment footprint.
  • Customizable Configuration: Modular design allows flexible configuration based on material thickness, strip width, and line speed as per customer requirements.
