Mandrel release agent
Pico Chemical Corp. has introduced
Picoguard 6275, a mandrel release
agent that forms a firm film without
dripping. Developed to meet the
requirements of processors who need
clean separation of flat-rolled metal
from the mandrels after recoiling, the
thixotropic lubricant eliminates oil
runoff and coil telescoping.
While it appears as gel in its at-rest
state, it readily liquefies when moved
so that it can be applied at room temperature by hand-held spray or brush
applicators. The agent sets up quickly
on the mandrel surface without dripping before a cardboard liner is inserted or the coil is wrapped around. The
coating lasts for many rewindings and
will not soak into cardboard liners.

Mechanical transfer,
progressive-die presses
Schuler Inc. is unveiling its new S
series mechanical transfer and progressive-die presses. The S series models are from 1,000 to 3,000 tons and
use standardized construction modules. They can be configured with
eccentric drives for higher SPM or
link drives that provide lower speeds
for complex draw applications. All
presses are heat-treated to relieve
stress from welding and feature a
compact footprint.
The company also will exhibit its
AT3 model, a triaxis modular transfer
system. The new generation offers a
span up to 29 ft. and is available in
three weight-handling classes. The
closed clamping boxes can be located
inside the press uprights or outside
and mounted above (hanging) or
below (standing) the transport level.
