Overarm Tooling
Artus Corp. can provide precision-manufactured 3S overarm separator spacers and steel separator discs that ensure outstanding performance, quality, and durability for metal cutting and trimming applications.
3S Overarm Separator Spacers
Made to withstand the toughest wear over time, Artus Corp. designed our 3S overarm separator spacers to prevent metal strips from scratching and marring during take-up. Spacer design is particularly important when working with thin materials.
3S overarm separator spacers are available in linen or canvas grade phenolic, and nylon with color options. Artus can also make spacers less than 0.125” thick from our durable, economical plastic shim stock material. As with all our products, you’ll enjoy their low cost and ease of use!
Steel Separator Discs
Artus Corporation’s steel separator discs are custom manufactured precisely to your specifications, including taper (double/single) and thickness. Made from the finest steel to a maximum hardness of 58/60 Rockwell “C”, steel separator discs from Artus guarantee you long-lasting, dependable performance at competitive prices.
Synthetic Rubber Stripper Rings and Spacers
Artus Corp.’s guide spacers and stripper rings are manufactured for stability and precision from synthetic rubber, generally Buna-N. The quality material prevents metal strips from scratching or marring during cutting or trimming applications. They are available in a wide range of durometers and color options.
Slip them easily and permanently over the metal spacers during set-up. Artus’s rubber stripper rings require no additional set-up time, making it easy to maintain your production.
Keep your costs down. Artus’s synthetic rubber spacers and stripper rings do not require expensive molds. They can be made in thicknesses from 0.125′′ thick and up, allowing for permanent installation on all your spacers. Remove the old stripper rings easily without grinding or solvents when you require new ones.
Polypropylene Tape
Are you tabbing the ends of slit coils prior to push-off? Artus non-filament polypropylene tape for slitter tooling applications provides superior adhesion. You can also use polypropylene tape around the perimeter of slitter knives to prevent marking of the strip. Artus’s polypropylene tape offers the unique benefit of leaving behind no residue or stains when removed from slit metal or slitter knives.
Incredibly strong and reliably residue-free, polypropylene tape is perfect for slitter tooling, packaging, or any everyday applications. The rolls are 60 yards. The minimum order is one case.
They come in four widths, and have two adhesive options:
