Tension Pads are also exchanged in 60-seconds. An Exit Shear squares coil tails and splits coil ODs. The Overarm Separator is firmly attached from both inboard and outboard sides to the Exit Unit frame, which eliminates Overarm frame deflection and resulting misalignment that can cause coil sidewall suffing and coil oscillation The Overarm has a "side-adjust" feature that allows the operator to make Overarm alignment adjustments without having to make a new set-up.

The Exit End equipment generates strip tension, crops coil tails, and rigidly supports the Overarm Separator.

The Cluster Leveler™ is installed between the Tensioner and Exit Shear. With its seven (7) adjustable back-up flights and work roll bend capability, the Cluster Leveler™ does not depend on tension for shape correction, and therefore will not "neck" the strip and reduce slit-width dimensions.

The Cluster Leveler™ employs its large work roll cluster to shape correct .150" gauge x 50,000 PSI pickled & oiled coil. The Cluster Leveler™ is a unique, patented roller leveler designed specifically for coil-to-coil shape correction applications, where the range of coil gauge and yield strength parameters far exceed CTL line gauge and strength capacities. Joy stick controls allow the operator to override the PLC automatic set-up and make roll bend adjustments while running.

Cluster Leveler™: A 72" x 4-Hi x 7-flight Precision Cluster Leveler™ allows Hascall Steel to supply its customers with coil free of wavy-edge and center-buckle strip shape defects. The patented Leveler design has multiple roll "clusters," with work roll sizes ranging from 1.500" to 3.000", which allow it to correct strip shape defects throughout the Slitting Line's .015" to .250" gauge range. Seven (7) adjustable back-up flights support the work rolls and provide roll bend ability. Automatic Leveler set-up is accomplished by a PLC controller after the operator enters gauge, yield strength, and defect data into the terminal.

Specifically designed for coil-to-coil applications, the Cluster Leveler™ employs non-driven work rolls. The hydraulic cylinder "quick-open" feature allows coil threading to be quickly accomplished.

Pushbutton Overarm Tooling Lock-Up: The Overarm Separator swings open to align with a tooling set-up cart, where Overarm tooling set-ups are made off-line, while the Slitter is running. Tooling is transferred from the Overarm arbor onto the Gatling Gun type set-up cart, and the tooling for the next order is quickly transferred onto the Overarm arbor. Once loaded, the Overarm tooling is locked onto the arbor by pushbutton.

Quality, Productivity, Bullet-Proof Reliability, know-how from building nearly 600 Slitting Lines, plus outstanding technical support made Hascall Steel's selection of its third Braner/Loopco Turret Head™ Slitting Line a "no-brainer".
