Horizontal Strip Accumulator
Features of Horizontal Strip Accumulator
The Reverse Loop Accumulator is installed between the shear & welder and the forming line. Its purpose is to give enough time for feeding the new coil from uncoiler to shear & welder and for the shear & welder to cut and join front end of the new coil with tail end of previous coil.
The accumulator is filled with strip, even during mill stop. The feature is useful when using smaller density coils. The accumulator has a high speed fill mode, synchronous (Mill Match) mode and jog mode, all controlled through PLC in the control panel.
