Oscillated coils assure more footage in each coil loaded onto an uncoiler. Loading times for ribbon wound slit or edged coil many times can be 15 minutes or more. By loading one oscillating coil with up to 10 times the linear footage, loading times can be eliminated for hours at a time. When adding burden rates allocated to loading time as well as the opportunity cost of typing up a press, oscillated coil may result in savings of up to 100% in production times for metal stampers.
