Lathe Slitting

What is lathe slitting?

Lathe slitting is the process of spinning log rolls of material on a mandrel and indexing a single blade to precisely cut to a desired width. Papers, tissues, foams, plastics, films, foils and many other materials can be cut using a lathe slitter. Lathe slitting those materials allows operators to program blade direction, blade speed, mandrel speed and blade sharpening cycles. These specifications are entered into a computer program, which ensures every roll of product is cut precisely to the desired specifications.
