Iowa Precision Slear Automatic Blanking Machines
The Slear™ family of Automatic Blanking Systems systems from Iowa Precision produce blanks to exacting sizes and tolerances from coil stock including mild steel, prepainted, embossed, galvanized, tin plate, aluminum, stainless steel and other ferrous or nonferrous metals. Equipped with Iowa Precision electronic controls for accurate, pre-set blank length and batch quantity, these systems feature a host of labor saving accessories such as coil handling equipment, single or double uncoilers, edge trimming, scrap choppers, and a variety of blank stacking systems that make them the industry leader in light to medium duty coil processing systems. Available in various configurations to suit your operational needs including the Slear I, Slear II, and Econoslear.
The Slear family of Automatic Blanking Systems from Iowa Precision includes the following configurations:
