Forstner nuSLIT
The Forstner nuSLIT cut to length line is perfect for modern sheet metal workshops.
The control offers full inspection about width setting, cut length and adjustment of the complete straightening unit according to the selected material.
Nesting made in our software nuEVOLUTION can be send directly to the control, you reduce the manual interventions. Choose from various modules to automate your nuSLIT from our modular system to increase efficiency.
nuSLIT
The Forstner nuSLIT is a dream for the modern sheet metal workshop. With it, you can control all functions from the control panel: width setting, cut length, pressure of the leveling rollers to avoid pause marks, slitting blade width setting, and engagement. The control system is fully compatible with nuEVOLUTION, which means that your entire cut length production can be planned and programmed directly from your office without any manual interventions. Combine with the desired number of decoilers and manual or controlled coil selectors. You can’t get a better Cut to Length!

Finished Cut Sheets are Ejected Quickly
Your finished cut sheets are ejected at an impressive speed, up to 25 meters per minute, ready for the next production step.
Programmable Slitting Knives
The nuSLIT is the perfect system for a forward-thinking company. It combines easy handling of slitting jobs with an unprecedented level of innovation. The five pairs of slitting knives supplied as standard are alternately arranged, ensuring burr-free cutting results even with narrow slit widths. The knife pairs are individually placed on a linear guide, while the cutting gap is perfectly adjusted to the sheet. When all the knives are in the programmed position, they are clamped with a sophisticated system integrated into the shaft. The nuSLIT uses no hydraulic components, reducing maintenance costs and increasing efficiency. Another cost-saving feature is the slitting knives themselves, as they can be reversed and sharpened, significantly extending the lifespan of a set of slitting knives.
Control System F3
The F3 control system features adjustable speed settings and 20 program lines. The operator can program material, length, slit width settings, and the number of parts to be slit and cut. Thanks to the motorized raising and lowering of the slitting knives, waste is effectively minimized. All frequency converters, motors, and sensors are from reliable Siemens. The user-friendly control system with icons simplifies operation for everyone, regardless of language. Another feature of the control system on the nuSLIT is the fully automatic material alignment. The operator enters the alignment value in the material table, and the control system calculates, controls, and adjusts the leveling rollers automatically.
Infeed Guide
The rollers of the infeed guide are angled to match the loop of the material from a decoiler. This prevents damage and creases to softer materials such as copper, aluminum, and zinc.
Infeed Table
The infeed table has four ball-bearing rollers that guide the sheet metal to the infeed rollers. Thanks to the ball bearings, the sheet metal can be fed forward and backward without the risk of damaging the edges. They also help keep the material parallel and ensure perpendicular cuts.
Guillotine shear (PRO)
The guillotine shear is the perfect solution for customers looking for fast and smooth cutting of material. The shear operates with a carbon steel blade for long lifespan with a capacity of up to 1.5 mm in steel (400N/mm²). The reinforced frame ensures a smooth and consistent cutting motion.
OPTION
Sectional shear (PRO CUT)
The PROCUT is built on the platform of the PRO (guillotine shear), which makes the PROCUT impress with its robustness and durability. This is coupled with unsurpassed flexibility and precision. The PROCUT consists of a bottom mounted guillotine shear blade and a top mounted roller blade on a linear guided shear head. The PROCUT uses high carbon blades for long lasting quality cuts up to 1.00 mm steel (400N/mm²). This design allows partial cuts to be made on the sheet metal, your advantages are obvious. Minimum waste in combination with the highest cutting quality.
OPTION
Labelling (PRINT)
Another option for your nuSLIT is the labelling of the sheets. The PRINT extension brings you the perfect organisation of your parts, because each sheet is given an individual QR code that contains all the relevant information. This in combination with the Smart Factory software nuEVOLUTION leaves nothing to be desired, scan the QR code on your folding machine and the bending geometry is transferred by nuIT. An error-free and precise way of working that makes your working day easier.
OPTION
Straightening rollers (STRAIGHT)
Optionally, your nuSLIT can be equipped with 6 automatic straightening rollers that remove coil set and cut an optimally straightened sheet. The rollers are made of polished steel with a diameter of 70 mm. The pressure of the straightening rollers is adjusted by the control system. The calculation of the straightening roll depth is done from the material table.
OPTION
Film applicator
The film applicator can basically be mounted on any table. Using the deflection rollers and the fully rubberized feed rollers, the protective film is pressed on almost bubble and wrinkle-free. The device type F-AG z2mo has an additional arm with tension spring for tensioning the film during the return movement. This design is only applicable for single decoiling systems.
OPTION
Table with roller guide
The coil guide is an important component for the function and accuracy of every system. The table has a fixed and a manually adjustable coil guide with ball bearings. The adjustment of the movable coil guide is done by a hand wheel. This specific table has rollers integrated in the table to ensure a smooth surface.
OPTION
Hardchromed straightening rollers
For more demanding applications and a longer life span we recommend the hard chromed shafts on the straightener.
OPTION
Decoiler units
Choose from a simple cradle up to motorized versions. Read more under respectively product.
OPTION
Foot switch
Add a foot switch to your nuSLIT machine for external start of next order.
OPTION
Fully rubberized pinch rollers
If you want to prepare your line for a film applicator, then the option with the fully rubberized rollers is ideal for you. This means that your line is ideally prepared for retrofitting a film applicator at any time and with ease.
OPTION
Recoiler
With this recoiler, slits or wide strips can be easily recoiled. The coils are wound tightly to a diameter of 508 mm and an optically clean coil is produced after wrapping and removal. The recoiler has a dancer arm, separating discs, a pneumatic felt brake, a motor and a hydraulic mandrel.
OPTION
Extra pair of slitting blades
The nuSLIT Series are as standard equipped with 5 pairs of slitting blades (stainless steel version). You can add up to max 7 pairs of slitting blades.
OPTION
Speed upgrade
The standard speed of nuSLIT series is 25 m/min. You can upgrade the speed to 35 m/min or 45 m/min.
Straightener (STRAIGHT)
As an option, you can equip your nuSLIT with a straightener consisting of 6 automatic leveling rollers. These leveling rollers eliminate coil memory, ensuring you always cut optimally straightened sheet metal. The rollers are made of polished steel and have a diameter of 70 mm. The pressure for the leveling rollers is adjusted via the control panel, and the calculations are based on the material table.
