Model #CR6018

Coil Cut to Length  

Master your shop’s production with the CR6018, featuring a compact design and heavy-duty construction that transforms HVAC fabrication. In addition to its space-saving frame, the programmable feed handles 26 to 18-gauge materials up to 60” wide with unmatched ease. Because we offer a wide range of custom drives and controls, you are guaranteed the rugged dependability and surgical accuracy you expect from a premium system.

Coil Cut to Length
Straighteners

Our precision-engineered Straighteners feature a high-performance configuration, including one set of Pinch Rolls, five Straightener Rolls, and a specialized Pinch Bead Roll. Consequently, you can easily configure the system for both overfeed and underfeed payoff applications. Unlike standard models, this Straightener utilizes a robust All-Gear Drive system—completely eliminating unreliable chains.

Furthermore, we’ve engineered these systems with Heavy Duty Spindles and Anti-Friction Roller Bearings to ensure maximum longevity. To provide even greater control, the gear-driven Pinch Rolls include Pneumatic Clamping, which allows you to:

  • Instantly Re-align: Quickly disengage rolls to align new coils.

  • Eliminate Tracking Issues: Effortlessly back strips out of the Straightener without jamming.

  • Precision Adjustments: Utilize handwheel settings with micrometer readouts for various material gauges.

Most importantly, our Direct Gear Drive eliminates the common failures associated with traditional roller chains and sprockets. Additionally, the oversized Bead Rolls prevent ‘Center Bead Washout,’ a common defect found in inferior systems. This ensures your HVAC ductwork maintains a professional, high-quality finish every time.

Dies

First, Ductformer makes Vee Notch and End Notch dies for TDFC and ‘S & Drive’ jobs. These units use a strong post and pin style. So, you get a machine that is easy to fix and lasts for years.

Also, we make every tool from high-chrome steel. This helps the parts last a long time. Next, you can get exact results with our lead screws. These use simple dials that are very easy to read.

Beyond that, our Hydraulic Shear gives you even more. For example, it features:

  • Tough Steel Cutoff: It is built strong to give you a clean break every time.

  • Better Blades: These blades have four edges. As a result, they last four times longer.

  • Smooth Fit: This part works perfectly with the CR6018 system. In short, it gives you the best accuracy on the market.

Finally, this setup saves you time and keeps your shop running fast.

Duct Coil Line Systems Notching

The Model CR6018 is our best duct coil line. It beads, notches, and shears HVAC ductwork with ease. This system handles 5-foot wide coils at 18 gauge. We also build custom systems up to 72 inches wide that can handle 12 to 26 gauge metal.

Our compact design is built tough. It gives you years of steady service and great accuracy. In fact, it outranks any other HVAC coil line on the market today.

Why choose this system? * Modern Controls: We use the latest digital drives and screens.

  • Simple Design: Our tech removes the need for old clutches and brakes.

  • Fast Results: It stops the mechanical shifting that slows you down.

This system is easy to run and built to last. It is the best way to speed up your shop and save money on repairs.

Compact Duct Coil Line (CR6018) FAQ

What is the benefit of Pneumatic Clamping on the pinch rolls?

The Pneumatic Clamping system allows you to instantly disengage the pinch rolls to re-align the metal strip when loading a new coil. It also eliminates the common “tracking problems” found when trying to back a strip out of a traditional manual straightener.

How accurate are the notch and shear placements?

Our systems use state-of-the-art Programmable Microprocessors and Feed Control Drives. By eliminating mechanical shifting, clutches, and brakes, the CR6018 provides unsurpassed accuracy for every bead, notch, and shear cycle.

What is the maintenance lifespan of the die tooling?

All die tooling is made from high-chrome tool steel and features a robust Post and Pin construction. This design is engineered for years of high-volume service with minimal maintenance, while shear blades offer four interchangeable cutting edges per blade for maximum longevity.

Can this system be configured for wider material?

While the CR6018 is our most popular 60″ wide model, we offer custom configurations up to 72” wide with gauge capacities ranging from 26 ga. down to heavy-duty 12 gauge.
