Red Bud Industries Unveils Coil Debanding Robot at Fabtech 2025

Red Bud Industries' new Coil Debanding Robot in action.
Red Bud Industries unveiled its new Coil Debanding Robot at Fabtech 2025 in Chicago.

Red Bud Industries, located in Red Bud, Ill., is now offering a fully automatic Coil Debanding Robot. Removing bands from coils often puts workers in potentially hazardous areas.
Additionally, once cut, the bands have to be manually picked up and placed into a scrap bin. Red Bud’s new Coil Debander automatically detects and cuts both outer diameter (O.D.) and inner diameter (I.D.) bands.
Once cut, they are automatically fed into a band winder or optional chopper. The unit can also detect the leading edge of the strip so that it can be automatically positioned under the coil.
In addition, the unit can automatically measure the coil’s width and OD, which can further automate downstream functions such as automatic coil loading onto the uncoiler.
The new robot was officially unveiled by Red Bud Industries during Fabtech 2025, which was held in Chicago from September 8 to September 11
