They behave differently from what most setup sheets imply. The finished width is the sum of the ground thickness of every component stacked between the two cutting edges, and no mechanism inside the stack averages those errors out. That explains why a machine can be dialled in perfectly and still miss a \u00b10.05 mm width spec.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Contributor<\/th><th>Typical magnitude<\/th><th>Where it enters the stack<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Blade thickness tolerance<\/td><td>\u00b10.002 mm (ground) to \u00b10.05 mm (generic)<\/td><td>Multiplied by knife position<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Axial runout (knife face)<\/td><td>0.005 mm precision, 0.010 mm standard<\/td><td>Once per knife, at the cut<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spacer seating and binning<\/td><td>\u00b11 \u00b5m classed, worse if galled<\/td><td>Between every blade<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a82b6dce-550f-4133-83b7-e4f3c1c37c85\">Blade thickness tolerance<\/h3><p>Each blade&#8217;s thickness tolerance adds directly to the stack. A blade that is 0.01 mm thin does not average out against a neighbour that is 0.01 mm thick; it shifts every downstream knife position by that amount. Run the arithmetic on a wide arbor: \u00b10.01 mm per blade across 14 knives accumulates to roughly 0.14 mm at the last strip, which alone destroys a \u00b10.05 mm width spec. Tightening to \u00b10.003 mm brings the same stack back to about 0.04 mm.<\/p><p>This is why procurement decisions matter more than they look. Precision-ground knives hold \u00b10.002 mm on thickness and diameter; generic import tooling commonly lands an order of magnitude looser, in the \u00b10.01 to \u00b10.05 mm band. That difference is not cosmetic. It lands directly in the width budget, and it compounds with knife count.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4c66bc17-6201-4aa4-b2b2-95578cd61416\">Rotary slitter axial runout<\/h3><p>Rotary slitter axial runout is the second contributor, and the one most often measured in isolation. Widely used shop-floor targets put the maximum acceptable knife-face runout at roughly 0.005 mm for precision work and 0.010 mm for standard work. On assembled stacks, general industrial practice accepts about 0.01\u20130.03 mm TIR, while high-precision lines work to 0.01 mm or tighter. These are working targets drawn from slitting practice, not clauses in a published standard \u2014 which is exactly why they need checking against your own width specification.<\/p><p>Those two bands answer the practical question of whether a number is good or bad. A knife measuring 0.008 mm TIR is acceptable for standard work and marginal for precision work. The same 0.008 mm on an assembled stack is comfortably inside general industrial tolerance.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"d6b9ca0f-26d4-4815-b66b-4c9dc7393c26\">Spacer and assembly effects<\/h3><p>Spacers and assembly practice decide how much of the nominal stack you actually get. Shim-free lines bin blades, stripper rings and spacers into one-micron classes spanning roughly \u22121 to +1 \u00b5m, hold blade bores within about 0.01 mm to an H6\/H7 fit, and offset the signs deliberately when assembling \u2014 a slightly thick blade next to a slightly thin spacer. The arithmetic behind this is unforgiving: a 5 \u00b5m flatness error against a 7 \u00b5m cutting gap consumes roughly half the clearance before the knives even start cutting.<\/p><p>For spacer tolerance classes, material selection and rubber ring applications that work alongside precision knife sets, see <a href=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/de\/precision-slitting-spacers-rubber-rings-blade-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Precision Slitting Spacers &amp; Rubber Rings: Extend Blade Life<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><p>Seating is the failure mode that hides here. Galled or worn spacers change how the stack seats rather than its nominal dimensions, so the arithmetic still looks right while the cut does not. The corrective sequence is consistent: clean, burr-free, flat mating faces so the stack seats repeatably, then manufacturer-specified torque applied progressively and evenly in a cross or diagonal pattern. Seat first, torque second. Never torque to force runout away, and re-check and re-seat after clamping.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9e945e9b-370b-4136-9843-cb1bb03f5f80\">Stapelmodelle und Mathematik<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool.jpg\" alt=\"Stapelmodelle und Mathematik\" class=\"wp-image-5560\" style=\"width:608px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Rotary-Slitting-Tool-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p>Width variation is a stack, not a single fault. Every blade, spacer and arbor in the line contributes its own deviation, and the question that decides your specification is whether you add those contributions at full value or combine them statistically. The two methods answer different questions, and confusing them is how teams end up either over-tightening every component or under-specifying the one that matters.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7ac39e7d-a8a5-48fe-adfe-cde151c11b66\">Worst\u2011case arithmetic stack\u2011up<\/h3><p>Worst-case simply adds every tolerance at full value, so the total is the sum of the individual limits regardless of how unlikely their simultaneous occurrence is. In a 14-knife slitting stack, fourteen blades at \u00b10.01 mm each accumulate to a theoretical \u00b10.14 mm before spacers or arbor runout enter the picture. That number is a guarantee, not a forecast: it describes the widest deviation the assembly can physically produce, which is what a customer contract or a safety-critical width claim has to be written against.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"926e322b-d6fd-4776-9eb3-a633a4c34e5a\">Statistical RSS estimate<\/h3><p>Root-sum-square assumes independent, normally distributed deviations and bounds the stack at 99.73% conformance, which is the \u00b13\u03c3 band. Instead of adding limits, RSS adds their squares and takes the square root, so three components at \u00b10.025 mm give \u00b10.075 mm worst case but about \u00b10.043 mm by RSS. The assumption is the catch: shared arbor error, a common grinding batch or a systematic setup bias breaks independence, and the RSS figure stops being defensible.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5d41153c-d895-48bc-ac59-5992f24fe235\">Sensitivity: what moves the needle<\/h3><p>Not every contributor deserves the same spend.

Stop re-zeroing. Clean and deburr the mating faces, re-seat the stack, and re-torque to specification in a cross pattern before measuring anything. In the majority of these cases the runout reading falls back inside tolerance without a knife change, because the fault was seating rather than tooling. This is exactly why Maxtor Metal verifies knife and spacer tolerances and supplies matched sets, and why our engineers ask for the bench and hot readings side by side before recommending a replacement: the numbers tell you whether the problem is in the tooling or in the setup.<\/p><p>Clearance bands move with material and gauge. High-precision slitting practice keeps clearance between 0.001 in and 0.005 in depending on alloy: roughly 0.002\u20130.005 in for low-carbon, as tight as 0.001 in for high-carbon and alloy grades, and 0.001\u20130.003 in for stainless, against more conventional levels of 0.005\u20130.010 in. The mechanism is documented in the literature. A 2018 study in <em>ISIJ International<\/em> of strip trimming on a cold rolling line analysed the effect of overlap, clearance and front and back tension on edge quality and linked buckle edge, burr and unbalanced cut-off ratio to how those parameters are combined, not to any single setting (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/isijinternational\/58\/8\/58_ISIJINT-2017-708\/_html\/-char\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>Strip Edge Defects and Comprehensive Control Technology in Cold Rolling Production Line<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, <em>ISIJ International<\/em>, 2018).<\/p><p>For how clearance and knife overlap interact to set edge quality at each material and gauge, see <a href=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/de\/rotary-knife-overlap-settings-clean-edge-quality-slitting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>Rotary Knife Overlap Settings: Clean Edge Quality in Slitting<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Warnung:<\/strong> Torquing to chase runout masks a seating fault and loads the arbor.<\/p><\/blockquote><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1016c6d6-265f-4801-ae26-6a4a71ef6806\">Fallstudie: Steuerung des axialen Rundlaufs zur Stabilisierung der Schnittbreite<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1018\" src=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roll-Shear-Blade.jpg\" alt=\"Fallstudie: Steuerung des axialen Rundlaufs zur Stabilisierung der Schnittbreite\" class=\"wp-image-5558\" style=\"width:570px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roll-Shear-Blade.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roll-Shear-Blade-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roll-Shear-Blade-768x782.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roll-Shear-Blade-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Roll-Shear-Blade-600x611.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p>A published Maxtor Metal field case shows how the stack-up logic plays out on a real line. The numbers below are from that published case, with the TIR figures stated as a representative measured range rather than a named customer&#8217;s raw log.<\/p><p><strong>How to read these figures.<\/strong> Every number in this case comes from a single source \u2014 Maxtor Metal&#8217;s own published case record. No independent audit, third-party test report or equipment OEM bulletin was used to verify it, and no raw measurement log, gauge serial number or dated reading sheet is reproduced here. Treat the case as a worked, manufacturer-published illustration of the diagnostic sequence, not as a benchmark you can copy into a contract. The most defensible thing to take from it is the order of the checks and the reason each one was made; the specific percentages and micrometres should be re-established on your own line against your own measured width spread and the machine builder&#8217;s specification before you apply anything line-wide.<\/p><p>Where this case and the \u00b10.14 mm example elsewhere in the article appear to disagree, they are answering different questions: the example is a worst-case arithmetic sum of nominal tolerances, while the case values are measured deviations on one production line.<\/p><p><strong>Line and target.<\/strong> A cold-rolled steel service center running SPCC-equivalent carbon steel at 0.50 mm, slitting a 1,250 mm master coil into 8 strands of roughly 156 mm each, to a width tolerance of \u00b10.05 mm at 120 m\/min.<\/p><p><strong>The symptom.<\/strong> Width was acceptable immediately after setup, then walked out of spec during the run. Initial width sat at 156.00 \u00b10.03 mm, but after 20\u201330 minutes of production it spread to 155.88\u2013156.12 mm, an actual variation near \u00b10.12 mm against a \u00b10.05 mm requirement. Operators first blamed spacer thickness, knife wear, clearance and tension. Swapping the knife set did not clear it.<\/p><p><strong>The measurement sequence that found it.<\/strong> (1) Finished width was sampled at the coil head, 25%, 50%, 75% and tail; the deviation rose and fell periodically instead of holding a constant offset, which ruled out a simple spacer arithmetic error. (2) Each knife was checked with a micrometer at several angular positions; no significant thickness error appeared, so replacing the whole set was not justified. (3) Spacers were removed and measured individually; several older spacers had light face wear and contamination whose individual errors were small but whose cumulative effect was significant. (4) The arbor was measured alone at 0.018\u20130.022 mm TIR, acceptable for that machine. (5) After assembly, the worst knife station read about 0.047 mm axial TIR \u2014 close to the commonly referenced 0.05 mm level. The key finding: the arbor was sound, and the large runout appeared only once the stack was assembled.<\/p><p><strong>What failed first.<\/strong> Two attempts were logged before anything about the stack was touched, and the difference between them is the useful part of the record.<\/p><p><em>Attempt 1 \u2014 opening the clearance.<\/em> Clearance was opened slightly. Burr height at the coil head dropped noticeably and stayed lower for the first few coils, so the operator had good reason to believe the problem was solved. Width variation was unchanged: the same periodic rise and fall returned within 20\u201330 minutes, and the tail of the coil still drifted past the \u00b10.05 mm limit. This separated two things that had been treated as one \u2014 clearance sets edge quality, width drift is set by position along the arbor.<\/p><p><em>Attempt 2 \u2014 fitting a new knife set.<\/em> A complete new set went on. Initial slit quality improved and the first coil ran clean, but by mid-run the width had again walked toward \u00b10.12 mm. Because a fresh set reproduced the original symptom within the same coil length, knife wear could no longer be the primary cause. The new set cost a full changeover and a production window and changed nothing structural \u2014 the stack still held the error.<\/p><p><em>Attempt 3 \u2014 rebuilding the stack.<\/em> The improvement appeared only after the spacers and seating were controlled: worn and contaminated spacers pulled out and matched by measured thickness, all contact faces cleaned, and the pack clamped in a defined sequence to the machine&#8217;s torque. The same knives that had already failed once in Attempt 2 then held width inside the customer specification.<\/p><p>The lesson worth copying is the order: a fix that changes the symptom without changing the drift is evidence pointing at the stack, and buying new knives before excluding seating spends money in the wrong place.<\/p><p><strong>What worked.<\/strong> Rebuild the tooling stack as a controlled precision assembly: clean and individually measure spacers, match them by actual thickness, inspect for damaged faces, build precision within an engineering target of \u00b10.003\u20130.005 mm thickness where the machine and product justify it, clean all knife and spacer contact faces of oil film, metallic particles, grinding debris, bore burrs and face damage, and clamp uniformly with a defined tightening sequence and a machine-specific torque rather than &#8220;tighten until it feels tight.&#8221;<\/p><p><strong>The result.<\/strong> Axial runout fell from about 0.047 mm to roughly 0.015\u20130.020 mm TIR, comfortably below the 0.05 mm reference level used in several published slitting documents. The core conclusion is the point to carry into your own setup: axial runout was not corrected by changing the knife alone. The improvement came from controlling the complete tooling stack: arbor condition \u2192 spacer faces \u2192 knife seating \u2192 clamping sequence \u2192 TIR verification.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>How far to trust the result.<\/strong> The TIR figures are a representative measured range, not the raw log of a named customer, and the whole case is manufacturer-published.

If the incoming coil has significant residual stress or poor flatness, width variation may persist even after the tooling is correctly aligned.

A machine can hold its commanded position perfectly and still ship off-width coil if the knife pack carries the error, which is why tolerance classes are quoted against the assembled stack rather than against individual components.<\/p><p>Two different numbers appear in this guide, and they are not interchangeable. The \u00b10.14 mm figure in the stack-up sections is a worst-case example: 14 knives \u00d7 \u00b10.01 mm of blade thickness tolerance, summed at full value, before spacers or arbor runout enter. The figures in this paragraph are tolerance classes \u2014 the width band you can expect to hold with a given grade of knife and spacer set, measured on a real line.<\/p><p>Using the same 14-knife geometry as a consistent reference point, a commercial tooling class accumulates to roughly \u00b10.14 mm, a precision class to \u00b10.05 mm and an ultra-precision class to \u00b10.025 mm. The worst-case sum and the commercial class therefore land on the same order of magnitude, which is the practical warning: buy commercial-grade tooling onto a wide arbor and you are already sitting at the edge of a \u00b10.05 mm specification before anyone measures a single blade. The tolerance class you quote sets the scrap exposure: a mill quoting commercial class on a narrow, high-value strip is accepting a width band several times wider than the process could otherwise hold.<\/p><p>Gauge compounds the problem. Published standard tolerances widen as gauge rises: EN 10140 bands cold rolled narrow strip by thickness and width, tightening to around \u00b10.15 mm at 0.60 mm and opening to \u00b10.50 mm or beyond at the heavy end (<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.standards.ie\/en-ie\/standards\/bs-en-10140-2006-215441_saig_bsi_bsi_508326\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>BS EN 10140:2006 cold rolled narrow steel strip<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, BSI).

Downstream, the cost shows up as function rather than scrap alone: a 0.2 mm width change on a 250 mm lamination is worth about 0.13% in core loss, which turns a width excursion into a performance claim on the finished core.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Metrisch<\/th><th>Ausgangslage<\/th><th>Ziel<\/th><th>Lever<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Width spread<\/td><td>\u00b10.25 mm<\/td><td>\u00b10.08 mm<\/td><td>Matched knife and spacer sets<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Off-width scrap<\/td><td>2.1%<\/td><td>under 0.8%<\/td><td>Stack tolerance class<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Setup time<\/td><td>45 min<\/td><td>28 min<\/td><td>Documented re-seat check<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Messerleben<\/td><td>6 Wochen<\/td><td>10 weeks<\/td><td>TIR held under 0.02 mm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p><em>Metric targets above are illustrative improvement benchmarks based on Maxtor Metal field experience; actual values depend on arbor condition, material grade and tooling class.

A documented re-seat check shortens the next setup: when the operator records axial position and cold versus hot readings at first install, the following changeover starts from a known reference instead of a fresh guess. Thermal drift is the reason the record matters. A warm-state allowance of 0.020\u20130.035 mm covers the growth between a cold arbor and a machine that has run for an hour, and a setup that ignores it will be re-trimmed once the line reaches temperature.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"e5ce3226-238f-466f-a6a5-bef4057e0e2f\">Tool life and cost per ton<\/h3><p>Tool life is bounded by two independent ceilings. Runout above 0.02 mm chips carbide on UHSS, so the axial condition of the pack sets how long an edge survives regardless of its grade. Hardness class sets the tool-life ceiling from the other direction: carbide at 88\u201392 HRA against M2 at 62\u201364 HRC is a different wear regime, not a marginal improvement. The tolerance class of the knife sets how often it is re-ground, and that interval, not the purchase price, is what determines cost per ton.<\/p><p>For a full ROI comparison between carbide, PM-HSS and tool steel for slitting applications, see <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/de\/rotary-slitter-knife-roi-pm-hss-vs-tool-steel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rotary Slitter Knife ROI: PM-HSS vs Tool Steel<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bca052df-c3b5-4bda-bf73-f523dae872ba\">FAQ<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"af8e60bd-692f-4b5e-8f7f-2c950e8309dc\">How tight does knife TIR actually need to be?<\/h3><p>It depends on the width class you are selling into, not on a universal number. Common slitting practice puts the maximum acceptable knife-face runout at 0.005 mm for precision work and 0.010 mm for standard work, and recommends assembled knife TIR of 0.01 mm or tighter on high-precision lines, with 0.01 to 0.03 mm accepted on general industrial lines. Those are OEM and technical targets in roughly the 5 to 50 \u00b5m band, not standard values: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/66777.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>ISO 1101:2017<\/strong><\/em><\/a> defines how runout is stated on a drawing but publishes no slitter acceptance limit. Pick the target from the width tolerance you must hold, then confirm it against the machine builder&#8217;s specification.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"f0ca00b7-059f-4bfc-92e8-826b31d2571c\">Why does blade thickness tolerance matter more than runout on a wide arbor?<\/h3><p>Because thickness errors accumulate along the arbor while runout is local to each station. Strip width is built from the ground thickness of every component stacked between the two cutting edges, and those errors do not cancel. A worked illustration: \u00b10.01 mm per blade across 14 knives stacks to roughly 0.14 mm of position error at the last strip, which alone can consume a \u00b10.05 mm width specification; tightening blade thickness tolerance to \u00b10.003 mm brings the same stack to about 0.04 mm. Treat that as a worst-case illustration with stated assumptions, not measured plant data.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"720ca287-5821-4df0-8d9b-0cdc3110276f\">Should I use worst-case or RSS stack-up to set my tolerances?<\/h3><p>Use both, for different decisions. Worst-case arithmetic tells you the guaranteed envelope: if the sum still fits your width spec, the design is safe without any statistical assumption. RSS assumes independent, normally distributed deviations and typically cuts a five-part chain by 40 to 60% against worst case. A published slitting example shows the gap: three components at \u00b10.025 mm give \u00b10.075 mm worst case against roughly \u00b10.043 mm RSS. Set the acceptance limit on worst case; use RSS to decide where tightening buys the most margin per dollar.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"02f86aa9-d7d8-4367-a45f-1156c174b03e\">Which contributor should I tighten first?<\/h3><p>Rank by sensitivity, not by which tolerance looks worst on paper. Multiply each contributor&#8217;s tolerance by its influence coefficient in the stack, then compare the resulting width contribution; the largest product is your first target. In most slitting stacks the order runs blade thickness tolerance across the full knife count, then spacer flatness and parallelism, then assembled face runout, then thermal drift. Tightening a contributor with a small influence coefficient buys almost nothing, however impressive the new tolerance looks on a certificate.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fd8755fc-02b1-4f1e-8086-96cf562c7a23\">Does the width tolerance I quote come from a standard or from my own capability?<\/h3><p>Both, and they answer different questions. Slit-edge width tolerances for cold-rolled narrow strip are banded by thickness and width in EN 10140, which lists values such as \u00b10.15 mm at 0.60 mm thickness and \u00b10.50 to \u00b10.60 mm near 4 to 10 mm (<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.standards.ie\/en-ie\/standards\/bs-en-10140-2006-215441_saig_bsi_bsi_508326\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>BS EN 10140:2006 cold rolled narrow steel strip<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, BSI).

Those tables define what the product standard permits, not what your line can hold repeatably. Quote the standard band to the customer, but set your internal control limit from your own measured width spread, then keep the gap between them as your margin.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fef3b7b8-5f24-4853-8a79-780c70f3a479\">Where does the tolerance stack-up start, at the blade or at the spacer?<\/h3><p>At the blade, because the blade&#8217;s ground thickness is the first term in the chain and every spacer behind it adds to the same sum. Spacers matter through flatness and parallelism rather than nominal thickness: a spacer that is flat but slightly thick shifts the whole downstream stack, while one that is bowed tilts the knife and shows up as face runout instead. Audit blade thickness first, then spacer geometry, then seating. Re-zeroing the arbor after a width drift without re-seating the stack usually moves the error rather than removing it.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"d5fe8dae-cf43-4866-a0e9-c871313bb347\">Do AHSS, stainless and aluminium need different TIR targets?<\/h3><p>Yes, mainly because the material changes how much of the stack error reaches the cut edge. Higher-strength strip springs back more after shearing, so a given face runout produces a larger width spread than it would in mild steel; stainless work-hardens at the edge and tolerates less knife tilt before burr height climbs. Aluminium is softer and more sensitive to built-up edge and thermal drift than to runout itself. Keep the same measurement method across materials, but tighten the assembled TIR target for AHSS and stainless rather than applying one number line-wide.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c3c6a419-456b-4efe-b2ce-92876ca64011\">How often should I re-measure runout after a knife change?<\/h3><p>Measure after every knife or spacer change, and again after the first production coil, because the first heat cycle settles the stack. A knife that measured 0.008 mm on the bench can read 0.02 mm once the arbor is torqued and warmed, and that shift is seating and thermal drift, not a bad blade. Log the bench reading and the hot reading separately so you can tell a genuine tooling problem from a setup one. If the hot reading drifts coil after coil, look at clamping force and cleanliness before you replace knives.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"590e9c0d-d813-4be5-b951-f7ce62b1edee\">Fazit<\/h2><p>Width variation is a stack-up problem, and the sub-0.01 mm contributors govern the result: control the sub-0.01 mm contributors and the lane tolerance follows. Hold knife TIR to 0.01 mm and assembled runout to 0.01\u20130.03 mm, then specify to worst-case and monitor to RSS so the arithmetic ceiling stays honest while daily data stays realistic.<\/p><p>The Monday-morning sequence is short. Measure assembled runout first. If it exceeds 0.02 mm, tighten TIR before touching anything else. With high knife counts, tighten blade thickness tolerance next. When spacer flatness is eating your clearance budget, tighten the spacers. Upgrade components only after arbor and bearing faults are excluded, because no knife change tunes out a bent arbor.<\/p><p>In practice, this is the order Maxtor Metal&#8217;s engineers work through with customers, and it is built on more than a decade and a half of supplying precision-ground blades into steel, automotive, electrical-steel and general processing lines worldwide. The company&#8217;s quality system covers material inspection and multiple production checks before shipment, and its ODM and OEM capability means a matched knife and spacer set can be built to your drawing or sample rather than bought off a catalogue and sorted on the machine.<\/p><p>If you would rather not build that capability from scratch, <a href=\"https:\/\/maxtormetal.com\/de\/produkt\/rollenschermesser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>Maxtor Metal<\/strong><\/em><\/a> supplies matched knife and spacer sets with documented tolerances. Send a drawing for a matched-set quote, or ask an application engineer to review your current stack-up against your target strip width tolerance.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"800063e5-af83-4e8a-abb6-2d2e54f9ff45\">\u00dcber den Autor<\/h2><p>Jerry Chu is Technical Support Specialist at Maxtor Metal, with over a decade of field experience diagnosing width drift and axial runout issues on coil slitting lines processing carbon steel, AHSS, stainless and aluminium.<\/p><p>His technical focus for this guide is axial runout and stack-up control: why a knife pack that measures true on the bench can walk out of a strip-width specification during a production run, how blade and spacer tolerances accumulate along the arbor, and how arbor condition, spacer face quality, knife seating and clamping sequence interact to set \u2014 or lose \u2014 a stable cut window.
