Notching machine Single Line
As a “single” line, our slotting centre includes complete automation for all aspects of slotting. This enables efficient, cost-effective and fully automated processing of electrical sheets of any size.
Slotting centres are essential for the production of electrical sheets and stand for precision, flexibility and speed.
We offer customised concepts and solutions that take the individual needs of our customers into account.
We have been a reliable partner for our customers for decades. We not only offer high-quality products, but also excellent service and comprehensive advice to ensure that our customers receive the best solution.

Notching maschine Single line
Offset filing
Depending on the size of the finished discs, several stacks can be offset on a pallet.
Sound insulation
The soundproofing elements are integrated into the machine frame and ensure a significant reduction in noise pollution.
Automatic loading and unloading of pallets
The pallets with the sheet metal stacks are positioned on the chain conveyors and transported onwards through the system accordingly.
Double sheet detection
Measurement of the sheet thickness to prevent the feeding of double sheets.
Sheet metal rolling function integrated in tooling
Sheets are separated from each other by lifting the suction cups locally, thus ensuring that only one sheet is removed from the stack and fed in.
Optical measurement of the electrical sheets
The sheet metal blank is photographed and measured according to the sheet characteristics. The sheet metal is then aligned in the x and y directions, as well as the c‑axis, so that the sheet metal can be precisely inserted into the grooving press.
Linear feeder
The sheet metal transport through the entire system is realised by specially developed linear feeders. These provide safe and fast transport and optimum accessibility for the set-up processes.
Modular design
The punching centre has a modular design and can be expanded according to requirements and functions.
Tooling
Newly developed tooling enables extremely fast set-up processes. By reducing the number of components, the susceptibility to faults is significantly reduced.
// Application example
Notching maschine single line
In this application example, a notching single line has been designed as a “single” line for the fully automatic production of electrical sheets. Particular emphasis was placed on output, quick changeover and easy handling.
The compactness of the system minimises the space required and ensures optimum accessibility.
The chain conveyors transport the sheets through the system.
With the help of a blank loader and a suction tool, the sheets are separated and checked for double sheets before being fed to the centring station.
The sheets are optically measured at the centring station. The position deviations are corrected during transport to the grooving machine.
After the stamping process, a removal feeder removes the sheet metal and places it precisely on a pallet. The rotor and stator are separated during transport and deposited separately.

Questions and answers
Normally, a tool change on a grooving press takes less than 15 minutes, including tooling of the loader setup.
A slot punching centre produces electrical sheets for motors and generators in a fully automated process. The aim is to achieve high output and short set-up times.
Mainly electrical sheets (rotor and stator laminations) are produced for the manufacture of electric motors.
Pre-cut sheet metal blanks are fed to the grooving centre on pallets. These are then transported fully automatically and fed to the grooving centre. The finished rotor and stator laminations are stacked on pallets for further processing
Compared to a manual grooving press, a grooving centre can be used to produce sheet metal with a higher output and quality.
Depending on the sheet diameter and the number of grooves around the electric sheet, the output is approx. 6–12 sheets per minute.
Slotting centres from Hagel Automation can be used to produce electrical sheets with high output and quality fully automatically.
As a rule, it takes between 12 and 16 months from ordering to delivery of a slotting centre.
Hagel Automation specialises in the manufacture of slotting centres. Hagel Automation supplies efficient, modern and highly precise production lines in the field of electrical sheet production.
The electrical sheets produced in a slot punching centre are used in wind turbines, large motors, generators, trains and ships.
The sheet diameters range from 30mm – 1400mm.
