Arme S.A., a Service Center located in Manizales, Colombia, has commissioned the construction of a high production Strand Extensioner® Slitting Line to Herr-Voss Stamco®
Arme S.A. purchased a new Precision Strand Extensioner® Slitting Line from Herr-Voss Stamco®. The new line provides high production rates and superior slit coil accuracy. This is the first line of its type sold in South America. This line combines both a Strand Extensioner and a tensioning device that permits the line to process both light gauge and heavy gauge products.

The Strand Extensioner will level with tension, equalize stresses, maintain critical material surfaces and reduce burr in a single safe highly productive operation. The system is designed to handle incoming coils with IDs that range from 508 mm to 762 mm on entry and 508 mm on exit.

This line will run incoming coils up to 25,000 Kg x 1,525 mm wide at a maximum speed of 305 MPM. The material thickness range is from 0.25mm to 3mm at 300 to 480 MPa yield strength steel. This line includes two (2) Herr-Voss Stamco® precision slitter heads. Hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, HSLA and zinc coated steel will be processed on this system.

Features of the line include a four-coil storage system with a coil car and automatic edge guide centering system.
