Reel Suited for Heavy Coils in Narrow Widths
Coe Press Equipment, Sterling Heights, MI, introduces a 10,000-lb.-series coil reel developed to serve press lines handling heavy coils in widths from 12 to 36 in. Capable of processing a full range of materials, the coil reels fill a gap between small-capacity reels and heavy-duty large systems. Combine the reel with a traveling
coil car to provide a modular, cost effective unwinding solution that can be matched with servo roll feeds and power straighteners to provide full system capability.
The new reels can be configured to work in a pull-off application with power straighten- ers and rollforming equipment, or provided as motorized payoff
reels with the drive mechanism to unwind the coil built into the machine. Standard features include heavy-duty welded construction, three-pad mandrel construction and manual hand-crank expansion. Options include hydraulic expansion, a hydraulic thread- ing drive and holddown arms with or without motorized end wheels.

Quick Trim Flap Discs Reduce Labor and Material Costs
Abrasives manufacturer Norton, Worcester, MA, a brand of Saint-Gobain, has introduced two new Quick Trim flap discs for the metal-fabricating industry, the SG Blaze R980P and TwinStar Quick Trim. Both feature a new, flexible and eas- ily trimmed plastic backing plate, allow- ing full use of the flaps. Operators can trim the backing to expose the flaps and optimize product life. This reduces mate- rials costs by allowing 100 percent of the abrasive material to be consumed.
SG Blaze R980P Type 27 flap discs feature the latest generation ceramic-alu- mina abrasive grain and an improved supersize grinding aid to provide pro- longed life on stainless steel, cobalt, chrome, Inconel, titanium and other dif- ficult-to-grind materials. TwinStar Type 27 flap discs are engineered for light stock removal, blending and finishing, all in one
