Manufacturing 2

[pandpguy]

I recently was handed a project involving the installation of a VERY preliminary production line that will make aluminium strips and "L" shapes. The equipment used will be an un-coiler, straightener, feeder, punch press, slitter and shear. The client has already purchased the equipment but has no documentation! I'm expected to piece all this equipment together into a continuous production line!! Is there anywhere I can find some information on installing these types of equipment? for example how to determine the appropriate distance between the straightener and the feeder for the intended production rates?

The manufacturers of the equipment should be able to supply the documentation you need.

I have located some manuals for the straightener, and the punch press but I don't have any info on the rest. Know where I can find info on a Welty Way Un-coiler Model hyd 6m-21-p?? I can't find the company on the web anywhere.

or its previous owner.
