Machine Concepts builds a wide range of press feed line equipment with a specific focus toward high speed, surface critical, tough to process materials and applications.
Machine Concepts has a specific technical focus in shape correction of high yield strength materials with our precision straighteners and flatteners. Our precision straighteners eliminate coil shape defects that competitor’s straighteners cannot remove. Small diameter work rolls with supporting back-up rollers produce a flat strip, free of internal stress.
In coordination with our automation group, Machine Concepts works directly with your development, engineering, and production teams to turn proof of concept process ideas into automated press processing lines. Our team will look for the most reliable and cost-effective solutions regardless of press manufacturer. Our job is to see you succeed.
Machine Concepts’ Coil Upenders serve as an efficient, user-friendly addition to any coil line. The Coil Upender allows an operator to load a coil on a pallet onto the loading deck before rotating the coil upright. This machine increases line efficiency by enabling an operator to pre-stage coils while the decoiler is still running in line. In addition, the use of a Machine Concepts’ Coil Upender greatly reduces the chance of damaging the decoiler as a result of direct coil loading using other methods.
Machine Concepts’ Coil Cars and Coil Stands are designed to improve coil line efficiency by creating a safe and quick coil loading system. Using a coil car or coil stand enables an operator to pre-stage coils while the decoiler is still running in line. Also the use of a Machine Concepts Coil Car or Coil Stand greatly reduces the chance of damaging the decoiler as a result of direct coil loading using other methods.
Machine Concepts’ Decoilers achieve superior coil handling control for a wide range of light to heavy-duty loads providing for superior line efficiency.
- Light Series Decoilers & Spool Decoilers – for coil loads up to 2,500 pounds per mandrel.
- Medium Series Decoilers – for coil loads up to 8,000 pounds per mandrel and coil widths up to 14 inches.
- Heavy Series Decoilers – a robust design for coil loads up to 55,000 pounds per mandrel and coil widths up to 50 inches.
Used to present the strip to the feeder without putting the coil set back into the material. Systems include:
- Decoiler Loop Guide System
- Pull-Roll/S-Loop Material Guidance System
- S-Loop Material Guidance System
Precision straighteners eliminate coil shape defects that simple flatteners cannot remove. Small diameter work rolls with supporting back-up rollers produce a flat strip free of stress. Parts that need to be flat stay flat and round parts stay round. Learn more about our family of straighteners:
- H2 & H2L Precision Straighteners
- G2, G2 Plus & G2L Precision Straighteners
The EV/L2 family of straighteners have been designed for lighter gauges (.008” to .039”) and normally higher speed applications (400 FPM). Features include easy removal of roll cassettes and interchangeable roll cassettes with different roll diameters within the same base frame. Several optional features.
Machine Concepts’ Flatteners provide a cost-competitive option for removing coil set defects. Based on a similar structure to our precision straighteners, flatteners offer many of the same desirable features as the straighteners that many other manufacturers do not offer.
Machine Concepts recognizes the need for work roll replacement and/or reconditioning to minimize downtime. We have highly trained personnel with thorough knowledge of work roll design utilizing high-end equipment for all your precision roll service needs.
