strippeenhet

Strippeenhet is a term used in Swedish industrial and technical contexts to describe a device or module that handles, guides, or processes strips of material within an automated production line. The concept is not tied to a single product or industry; rather, it denotes a functional unit that interacts with flat, elongated materials such as metal strip, plastic film, paper, fabric, or other sheet-like stock as it moves through equipment.

Typical tasks performed by a strippeenhet include unwinding a strip from a roll, guiding and aligning it to a precise path, feeding it into subsequent processing stations, and, in some cases, removing a layer (peeling) or performing preliminary treatment such as perforation, scoring, or slitting. The unit may work in concert with other machine modules to ensure correct tension, speed, and positioning.

Designs vary by application. Some strippeenhet are dedicated stripping units that detach protective films or coverings; others are feeding or transferring units that position a strip for cutting, printing, or coating. Actuation is commonly by servo motors, pneumatically or hydraulically driven cylinders, and may include sensors and feedback for tension control and precise alignment.

Key components often include rollers or guides, tensioning elements, sensors (optical or contact), actuators, and control software or PLC interfaces. Environmental considerations such as cleanliness, static control, and material compatibility influence the selection and maintenance of a strippeenhet.

Applications span roll-to-roll processing in metal, plastics, packaging, textiles, and electronics manufacturing. Safety and maintenance focus on preventing pinch points, ensuring proper tension, and performing regular calibration and lubrication. See also strip, unwinding, slitting, and feeding units.
