THE WIDEST STANDARD RANGE ON THE MARKET With over 50 machines and 200 options and accessories allowing more than 5000 different confi gurations to be built, you are certain to fi nd at DIMECO Alipresse the equipment which perfectly suits your application. PRODUCT DESIGN The robustness of our designs gives our equipment the reliability and durability which have built the reputation of DIMECO Alipresse. The mechanical parts are generously dimensioned and are often obtained from precision machined castings. We...

THE MOST SUITABLE ARCHITECTURE FOR YOUR CONSTRAINTS Every cutting line project has its own constraints: characteristics of the materials being decoiled, type of press and cutting tools, area available, desired level of automation, frequency of production changeovers, operator skills, budget... The range of DIMECO machines allows your particular needs to be handled by choosing the most suitable line architecture. To help you to choose, DIMECO will send you, at the offer stage, a layout of the chosen line on the paper or CAD format that you require. CONVENTIONAL LINE OR LONG LINE This is the multi-purpose...

DIMECO offer a full range of decoilers for coils of 50 kg to 25 tonnes. The range of widths is from 10 mm to 2000 mm. The permissible coil diameter can be up to 2100 mm on the largest models. Long considered as a rudimentary machine, the decoiler has nowadays become a key productivity element of the automated cutting line. LINK TYPE EXPANSION For decoilers of up to 6.5 tonnes, low backlash link type expansion kinematics have been chosen. The absence of backlash allows very precise coil alignment under all circumstances. LONG LIFE The durability of the DIMECO mandrels is widely recognised. They...

On demand, our design office can design the special decoiler specifically to your own specifications. Single decoiler Our decoilers allow the coil to be decoiled from underneath, from above, from the rear and even with no loop. SINGLE DECOILERS FOR ONE COIL 8 machines cover a range of coils from 50 kg to 25 tonnes. Depending on the material being decoiled and the layout of the line, the decoiler can be equipped with a pneumatic safety brake or a mandrel rotation drive. The drive is then powered by a hydraulic motor or an asynchronous motor piloted by a frequency inverter. It considerably assists...

Always listening to their customers, DIMECO have developed a wide range of accessories designed to improve the productivity and fl exibility of the line and the safety of the operators. FOR ALL MATERIALS DIMECO decoilers can be equipped with devices suitable for working with high yield strength metals or decoiling delicate materials (pre-lacquered, copper, polished aluminium...). SAFETY IMPROVEMENT Keeping the coil under tension during the decoiling, strip introduction and strapping operations is essential for the safety of the personnel. To ensure this essential function with strips more than...

The choice of straightener is the trickiest stage in the definition of a decoiling line. The precise identification of the range of materials to be straightened and of the intended degree of fl atness will allow the key construction parameters to be chosen: number, diameter The choice of the model of straightener is the result of a complex compromise between the extent of the required range of operation (metal thicknesses...), the intended flatness and the cost of the equipment. This is why DIMECO have developed a range of over 80 straighteners to deal with the various problems of manufacturers,...

On demand, our design offi ce can design a special straightener corresponding to your particular specification. Grouped control unit ERGONOMICALLY GROUPED CONTROLS All the controls of the straightener and its accessories are grouped at a single point. Depending on the specifi ed strip feed direction, the desk and the penetration adjustment indicators will be situated on the operator’s side. The latter can use a robust and ergonomic remote control to facilitate the strip introduction operations. The controls of the decoiler can also be grouped on the straightener’s control desk. STRAIGHTENERS...

The judicious choice of the accessories and options will have a major impact on the production changeover times and on operator safety. FOR ALL MATERIALS The DIMECO straighteners can be equipped with devices adapted for the working of high yield strength metals or the decoiling of delicate materials (pre-lacquered, copper, mirror-fi nish aluminium...). SIMPLIFIED STRIP INTRODUCTION The introduction of the strip into the straightener and then into the feeder can be a long and dangerous job. All DIMECO straighteners are delivered with an adjustable lateral strip guide on the entry side and with...

THE MICROFEED® ROLLER FEEDS ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE LEVELS The decoiling line must under no circumstances limit the performance of the cutting line. By its dynamics, its accuracy and its reliability, the feeder must allow the movement of the strip in the shortest possible time in order to give the tool-setter the maximum working stroke available. The mechanical quality of the feeder and the performance of its numerical control will have a major impact on the productivity of the cutting line. ACCELERATION, THE KEY FACTOR In most applications the strip feed time is affected more by the acceleration...

DIMECO is the only manufacturer in the world to offer a range of 4 standard digital controls, all developed with the world’s largest electronic component manufacturers. CRM Squaring Guide and strip Encoder ACCURACY All DIMECO feeders are equipped with low inertia brushless motors and gearboxes withreduced backlash. The feed accuracy will thus be determined essentially by the quality of the signal measurement and processing sequence. The use of a complete electronic package (sensors, motors, PLCs) from the same component manufacturer chosen among the world leaders ensures exceptional reliability...
