April 3, 2026 – Hexin, a global leader in converting equipment manufacturing, is making waves in the slitting
machine industry with its advanced XH-FQ series, a line of high-precision, multifunctional slitting and rewinding equipment that combines cutting-edge technology, versatile applications and energy efficiency. As the demand for precise material converting continues to surge across packaging, electronics, and new energy sectors, the XH-FQ series is redefining industry standards, offering tailored solutions that address the evolving needs of manufacturers worldwide.
The XH-FQ series, headlined by the flagship XH-1600FQ model, stands out for its comprehensive functionality and superior performance, integrating slitting, laminating, waste discharge and edge positioning control into a single, efficient system. Equipped with an ultrasonic sensor-based EPC (Edge Positioning Control) device, the series ensures precise alignment of raw materials, minimizing material waste and enhancing product consistency—critical for high-volume production environments. The adoption of magnetic brakes and clutches further optimizes tension control, while inflatable bearings for feeding and receiving materials reduce friction and extend equipment lifespan, ensuring stable operation even during long production runs.
Versatility is a key strength of the XH-FQ series, which is designed to handle a wide range of materials across multiple industries. From industrial adhesive tape, electronic materials and protective films to copper foil, aluminum foil, and various plastic films (including OPP, PE, and PVC), the series adapts seamlessly to diverse converting needs. It is widely deployed in printing, packaging, 3C electronics, leather, garment, and plastic industries, catering to both small-scale workshops and large-scale manufacturing facilities. Notably, the series meets CE certification standards, ensuring compliance with global safety and quality regulations, which has facilitated its market penetration in European and North American markets.
Technological innovation is at the core of the XH-FQ series’ success, aligning with the global slitting machine industry’s shift toward intelligence and data-driven production. While the series maintains high precision—with edge burrs controlled within 0.05mm and tension fluctuation within ±1.5%—it also incorporates elements of modern automation to enhance operational efficiency. Hexin’s engineering team has optimized the series’ servo drive system, enabling slitting speeds ranging from 100 to 600 meters per minute, with high-end models capable of exceeding 800 meters per minute, matching the demands of high-volume flexible packaging converters.
Market data underscores the growing demand for high-performance slitting equipment like the XH-FQ series. According to a 2026 report by Future Market Insights (FMI), the global slitting machine market is valued at USD 561.4 million in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 807.4 million by 2036, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%superscript:2>. This growth is driven by sustained demand for precision converting of flexible packaging films, papers, and nonwovens, as well as the emerging need for ultra-precision slitting in EV battery electrode manufacturing—areas where the XH-FQ series excels.
In China, the XH-FQ series has gained significant traction, particularly in East and South China, where 73% of the country’s slitting machine market is concentratedsuperscript:3>. Domestic manufacturers in the packaging and electronics sectors are increasingly adopting the series to replace legacy equipment, drawn by its reliability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Hexin’s localized service network, which ensures after-sales support within 24 hours, has further strengthened its market position, with the XH-FQ series accounting for 18% of domestic mid-to-high-end slitting machine sales in 2025.
Hexin is also expanding the global footprint of the XH-FQ series, targeting emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Latin America, where demand for converting equipment is growing alongside the expansion of manufacturing sectors. The series’ adaptability to different regional production needs—from small-batch customization to large-scale mass production—has made it a popular choice among international buyers. In 2025, exports of the XH-FQ series grew by 22% year-on-year, with key markets including India, Vietnam, and Brazil.
Industry experts note that the XH-FQ series addresses a critical gap in the market, balancing precision, versatility, and affordability—attributes that are increasingly important as manufacturers seek to optimize production efficiency and reduce costs. “Hexin’s XH-FQ series represents the future of slitting technology, integrating proven functionality with modern design to meet the diverse needs of today’s converting industry,” said a senior analyst at FMI. “Its ability to handle a wide range of materials and adapt to different production scales positions it well for sustained growth in the global market.”
Looking ahead, Hexin plans to further upgrade the XH-FQ series, integrating AI-ready automation and real-time quality monitoring systems to align with industry trendssuperscript:2>. The company also aims to enhance the series’ energy efficiency, complying with global green manufacturing standards by reducing overall energy consumption by 15% compared to traditional models. As the converting industry continues to evolve toward智能化 (intelligence) and sustainability, the XH-FQ series is poised to remain a leading choice for manufacturers seeking reliable, high-performance slitting solutions.
