Apr 22, 2002 Roll-Fed System slits and sheets rolls of material weighing up to 8,000 lb. Material is slit, accumulated through controlled gravity loops to restrict material stretch, and cut using gap shear cutter. Gripper stacker grabs sheets and stacks them for use. Operator needs only to load roll, adjust sheet length and slit width, and unload stacks of finished material for next processing operation.
