Maxwell offers spacers made out of hardened alloyed tool steel with stainless steel characteristics. These metal spacers are used on slitter machine to adjust distance between slitting knives according to needed width of coiling strips.
Rubber Bonded Spacers are used along with rotary slitter knives and are manufactured for stability and precision tolerances from synthetic rubber to prevent metal strips from scratching during trimming or cutting applications.
These discs ensure clear separation and guidance of the cut material strips and uniform winding of the strips onto the recoiler of the slitting line:
Hard alloy steel tool steel stripping rings are used for the thinnest materials and narrowest strips as long as the slitting design permits such use.
Rubber Bonded(Polyurethane) stripper rings are specifically designed for ultra-sensitive surfaces.
Maxwell also designs specialty blades to create a pinker type cut, perforated cut or even a scalloped edge cut. We have been supplying machine builders with score cut and crush cut knives dating back to some of the oldest slitting systems still used today!
Plastic shims allow precise adjustment of the cutting clearance. The main advantages of plastic shims are:
