Single Knife Slitting Services
Advanced Technology Supply, Inc. offers ISO compliant single knife slitting services that meet the needs of multiple industries, including the military. Just like with our rewind slitting operations, we can stock our own materials, but can also slit and rewound material provided by our clients. However, unlike rewind slitting, single knife slitting allows us to cut through foil materials. Moreover, due to reduced set up time, single knife slitting eliminates the need for large minimum order quantities.
Adaptable Precision in Material Handling
We cater to a broad spectrum of materials, adapting our techniques to meet the unique demands of each project. Our precision in handling foil materials showcases our adaptability to diverse industry requirements. The flexibility of our operations, combined with our commitment to ISO compliance, ensures we meet stringent quality standards across all sectors, including the military.

Key Features of Single Knife Slitting
- Precision Cutting: Achieves very tight tolerances, often as precise as ±0.005 inches.
- Versatility: Can be used on various materials, including tapes, films, fabrics, and elastomers.
- Adjustable Widths: Capable of cutting widths ranging from as narrow as 1/25 of an inch to several inches wide.
- Crisp Edges: Produces clean, sharp edges on the cut material, which is critical for applications requiring precise adhesive placement or clean finishes.
- Efficiency: Suitable for high-speed production runs and can handle large quantities of material efficiently.
Applications and Capabilities
- Adhesive Tapes: Producing narrow rolls of adhesive tapes for various industrial applications.
- Films and Plastics: Cutting plastic films used in packaging, electronics, and other industries.
- Textiles: Slitting fabrics used in automotive, aerospace, and other sectors.
- Rubber and Elastomers: Creating precise widths for gaskets, seals, and other rubber components.
These materials are slit to width from a master roll (log rolls) measuring between 0.125 inches to 58 inches wide. Typical width tolerances are (+/-) 0.031 inches, depending on the material being slit. However, some products can be single knife slit with tolerances as close as (+/-) 0.010 inches.
Our state-of-the-art equipment, operated by skilled technicians, guarantees accuracy within remarkably narrow tolerances, ensuring that every slit meets your exact specifications. By choosing our services, you're not just ensuring precision, but also embracing a partnership dedicated to quality and efficiency.
In addition to Single Knife Slitting, we provide Rewind Slitting Services to meet diverse cutting needs.
