If the machine has not been maintained, the bearings are loose, or the shoulders are damaged, edge
quality will get poor.
Burrs
The primary cause of burr is a horizontal knife clearance that is too tight or too loose.
An incorrect clearance automatically causes a poor quality edge. In fact, one of the characteristics of a poorquality edge is burr.
If horizontal clearance is too loose, the metal gets stretched around the knife and tears.
If horizontal clearance is too tight, a lot more force is required to cut the material
The only way you can apply more force is to lower the knives, and this produces burr.
A dull knife automatically creates burrs. The material wraps around the dull corner of the knife and tears.
Therefore, it is important to use the right knife for different slitting needs.
A knife that dulls too quickly will cause burring.
It is preferable to use the most wear-resistant knife possible so that the edge remains sharp for the longest
period of time.
A vertical knife clearance that is set too deep (too much overlap) also causes burr.

Knife marks
Knife marks on the strip almost always are caused by poor stripper ring practices.
Proper stripper ring practices include utilizing male and female rings in different sizes and hardnesses.
Size and hardness are not absolute constants and may vary from machine to machine. The size should
vary from one metal and thickness to another.

Conclusions
FocalSpec LCI imaging technology provides a new solution for steel edge quality and rotary knife
condition monitoring at slitting and edge trimming lines.
Parameters obtained directly from a measured edge profile:
Edge parameters
Edge burr height
Burnish depth
Fracture depth
Fracture angle
Sheet thickness
Edge wave
Rotary knife condition
Edge damages in knife surface (causing repeating defects in the edge of the coil)
Wobble
Integrated strip width measurement
High resolution information can be used for controlling knife clearance, tooling and usage time.
