In the ongoing evolution of the cold chain industry, “intelligence, efficiency, and precision” have emerged as core competitive strengths. As a critical upstream link in cold chain equipment manufacturing, sheet metal processing directly impacts downstream production. Laser coil slitting and blanking lines can be intelligently integrated with AGVs, Bending machine, Material libraries and other processes empower intelligent manufacturing.

Today, we will disassemble the one specially designed for… Cold Chain Industry – Hairong Customized laser coil slitting and blanking line solutions—exploring how they break down process silos and help factories reduce costs while boosting efficiency.

The core components of cold chain equipment are mostly metal sheets, which place extremely high demands on machining accuracy and efficiency. Traditional methods suffer from three major pain points:

Extensive manual intervention: Multiple devices require step‑by‑step operations, which are time‑consuming and labor‑intensive, prone to board scratches and dimensional deviations, thereby affecting downstream precision.

Poor process coordination: Lack of integration with downstream processes leads to increased costs due to manual material handling, and it is prone to material bottlenecks and process interruptions.

Insufficient adaptability: Product changeovers are cumbersome, making it difficult to meet the “multi‑variety, small‑batch” production requirements of cold chain equipment.

In response to the aforementioned pain points, a dedicated laser slitting and blanking line solution has emerged, seamlessly integrating “precise adaptation, seamless collaboration, and intelligent efficiency” to streamline the entire production process.  

Specifically designed for commonly used stainless steel and cold‑rolled sheets in the cold chain, this system is compatible with coil materials weighing up to 15 tons and meets the raw material requirements of various cold chain equipment. With CNC intelligent control, it achieves automatic centering and adjustable tension, preventing coil misalignment and wrinkling while supporting rapid changeovers between multiple specifications—solving the longstanding issues of low unwinding efficiency and poor stability in traditional systems. At the same time, it is equipped with concealed floor rails that optimize workshop layout, enhancing operational safety and improving space utilization.

The multi-roller system applies uniform pressure, eliminating stress and deformation in the coil material. After leveling, the flatness of the sheet surface can meet the high‑precision requirements of cold chain equipment. Moreover, there is no need for secondary grinding; the material can be directly fed into downstream processes, reducing process redundancy and lowering the defect rate.

High‑precision laser cutting delivers smooth, burr‑free edges and enables accurate cutting of various complex‑shaped components, meeting the demands of precision machining. It is ideally suited for “small‑batch, multi‑specification” production scenarios: switching between products requires only program modifications—no mold changes are necessary—balancing efficiency with energy savings while reducing production costs.

Automatic truss material preparation enables automatic gripping and stacking of cut sheets, preventing manual damage and improving material preparation efficiency. It can seamlessly integrate with downstream processes, realizing full automation from “uncoiling—leveling—cutting—material preparation—transport,” thereby breaking the bottleneck of disconnected process stages.

5. Seamless Expansion: Coordinated Processes Drive Intelligent Factory Upgrades

Equipped with an AGV intelligent handling system, It can automatically transfer finished boards and edge scraps according to production instructions, eliminating the need for manual handling, significantly reducing labor costs, preventing material buildup, and ensuring a smooth and orderly production process throughout the entire workflow—serving as the core support for realizing an automated, closed-loop material management system. It can also be paired with bending machines; after precise alignment, flat sheet materials require no secondary processing. The robotic arm delivers materials with pinpoint accuracy, seamlessly connecting the “cutting–bending” process and further enhancing forming efficiency and precision. Additionally, it can be integrated with intelligent material warehouses to enable automatic material sorting, storage, and inventory management, allowing managers to monitor inventory in real time, further reducing inventory costs, optimizing material management practices, and building an overall intelligent production closed loop that achieves “fewer workers, higher efficiency, improved quality, and lower costs.”
