coilfed
Coil-fed refers to manufacturing processes in which the raw material is supplied in coil form and fed into the processing equipment in a controlled manner. The coil is mounted on a decoiler, unwound and leveled, and then fed to the main machine through a straightener or feed system. This approach enables long, continuous runs and reduces material handling compared with processes that start from discrete blanks or bars.
Materials commonly processed in coil-fed lines include metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper, as well as
The coil-fed workflow relies on tension control, material straightening, and precise feed registration. Modern systems use
Advantages of coil-fed production include high throughputs from continuous input, reduced manual handling, and shortened setup
