How to Achieve Precise Positioning with Slitting Machines

Jan 21,2026

Achieving stable and precise positioning in slitting machines is not simply a matter of upgrading a single component—the real key lies in coordinating three crucial elements: the machine's inherent precision, matching process parameters, and controlling environmental interference. Based on 12 years of on-site commissioning experience and data from the ISO 230-1:2012 precision standard, Chaoxu has found that combining a fully electronic control system with customized process solutions can control slitting positioning accuracy to within ±0.05mm. Incidentally, this can reduce material waste caused by positioning errors by more than 80%.

 

A Solid Foundation for Positioning Accuracy

In terms of on-site maintenance, Chaoxu provides more than just general guidelines—we also develop customized calibration plans. First, the sealed tool movement channel is checked daily to prevent dust and debris from entering the core positioning components; then, error compensation is performed monthly using a grating ruler. A customer at a paper mill in Jiangsu can attest to this: consistently following this process has doubled the lifespan of their slitting machine's accuracy. This is significant for long-term operations.

 

                                   

 

Dynamic positioning during high-speed operation is undoubtedly the biggest challenge for buyers. Pneumatic systems often suffer from lag, which is a real headache—but Chaoxu's slitting machines replace pneumatic systems with high-response servo drives and a fully electronic positioning system. The servo motor can adjust speed and position in real time based on the material being processed. For 0.1mm thin film, it reduces the feed speed to prevent tearing; for 3mm thick cardboard, it increases torque to maintain a clean cut. No more one-size-fits-all solutions.

 

Adapting to the Positioning Needs of Different Materials

Take a packaging company specializing in food-grade aluminum foil as an example—after adopting Chaoxu's customized solution, their slitting positioning scrap rate plummeted from 5% to 0.8%. There's also an added benefit: the energy-saving advantages of the servo system are realized, reducing power consumption per ton of material by 30%². Each Chaoxu slitting machine allows you to store an unlimited number of cutting programs, so for small-batch, multi-specification production, you can quickly recall parameters for specific materials without having to reconfigure from scratch each time.

 

In fact, stable slitting positioning accuracy depends on more than just the machine itself. Your workshop vibration needs to meet ISO 10816-3 Class A standards, and the cutting fluid temperature must be maintained within a range of ±0.5℃. That's why Chaoxu provides a one-stop precision management service – we will conduct on-site environmental testing, adjust parameters for you, and do everything possible to ensure the system runs stably in the long term. You no longer need to piece together solutions from different suppliers.
