1. Process purpose
Apply a continuous pattern to coil or sheet and deliver flat cut sheets (or recoiled strip). This page is a process map only — thickness, speed, and motor ratings stay on the embossing overview and config-tier pages.
2. Full-line steps
Recommended thick-line (full package) wording from the embossing FAQ:
- Automatic decoil (± coil car)
- Entry level / feed
- Dual-roll emboss
- Exit level
- Hydraulic shear to length
- Exit table
Industry modular lines follow the same emboss core; entry and exit modules vary by proposal.
3. Alternate exits
- Recoil after emboss (coil service-center layout) — no shear
- Stand-alone emboss head without full decoil / shear package
- Cut-sheet delivery — shear + exit table as on the thick-line package
4. Station roles
| Station | Role |
|---|---|
| Decoil | Pay-off coil; optional coil car for loading |
| Entry level | Flatten strip before emboss for pattern consistency |
| Emboss | Matched patterned rolls press the sample pattern |
| Exit level | Re-flatten after emboss depth |
| Hydraulic shear | Cut-to-length for sheet delivery |
| Exit / recoiler | Collect sheets or rewind strip |
5. Boundaries
- Do not copy 0–6 / 0–10 / 1–6 m/min or 22 / 7.5 / 11 kW into this process page as a single invented band.
- Pattern sample selection is contract tooling — not a process-flow decision alone.
- Not CNC engraving; not a roof-panel main mill flow.
6. Buyer FAQ
Where do 0–6 vs 0–10 m/min belong?
On the named thickness tier (thick-line vs 1220×1.5 vs CZ1600) — not averaged on this process map.
Is shear always after emboss?
On full cut-sheet lines, yes. Recoil-only layouts omit shear; stand-alone heads may omit both decoil and shear.
Why two levelers?
Entry level prepares flat strip for consistent emboss depth; exit level reduces residual bow after patterning before shear or recoil.
Does process order change with pattern type?
Core order stays decoil → level → emboss → level → exit. Pattern only changes the roll set, not the station sequence.
Process map only. Final ratings follow the embossing proposal. Price and lead time are out of scope.
