Slitting & Shearing
At ESPE Manufacturing Co., Inc. we provide precision slitting and shearing services for converting almost any non-metal material. We can reach into our vast inventory of insulating papers and plastics to supply you with quality materials on rolls from 0.10″ to 48.0″ in width. Alternatively, you can send us your flexible material, and we will return it to you converted per your specifications. Our processes are geared for high productivity and reduced waste, and with our powerful, high-speed slitting and shearing lines, we turn jobs around very quickly, and our pricing is very competitive.
On the shop floor, we use automated processes for slitting and winding. Our capabilities include a wide range of slitting methods, including razor, score, and shear slitting as well as baloney cutting, crush cutting, and others. Computer controls enable us to monitor blade sharpness, cutting forces, roll tension, cutting speed and other factors to achieve and maintain quality cuts to within very close tolerance limits. We process material up to .093″ in thickness and supply rolls measuring up to 36.0″ in diameter.
As a Master Distributor for ITW Formex®, we always have an ample inventory of electrical insulation materials such as Formex® GK, Statex®, and Nomex® on hand. We also stock a range of electrical grade fishpaper, commercial grade vulcanized fiber, and many other grades of plastics and papers. Just get in touch with us and we will supply you with a quote and have your custom roll sizes to you within a very short turnaround. We can also quickly accommodate rush orders for time-sensitive projects and with our excellent reputation for quality, you can be confident that your material will be up to your high standards.
