The process

The process usually starts with coils of standard widths. Coils are mounted on spools and then supplied through two horizontally rolls performing slitting through continuous cutting. The rolls consist of spacers and cutting rings, which are mounted to slit the coils into different widths. The edges are usually clean cut as scrap to achieve the desired tolerances.

Slit sheet is wound up again on a spool after it passes the rollers.
