Up-to-date decoiling, straightening and feeding line and new presses for wheel blank production have brought the work back in-house, reduced costs and control just-in-time production.
Press shop automation equipment described
Leading maker of servo roll feeds, power straighteners, coil reels and cradles, and complete coil processing systems has produced a general brochure for the press shop.
Combination reel/straightener/feeder saves space
Nineteen models of space-saving, multi-functioning coil lines feature unwinding, straightening and feeding of coil stock - three functions all combined into one single unit.
These precision machines have fully driven feed rolls and lower straightener rolls, and provide true pilot release function for running both blanking and progressive die operations.
* RMA Series 'Alligator' Straighteners - three models of heavy-duty straighteners that provide roll access for threading and/or cleaning.
Depending on the application requirements, the 'Alligator' head is opened by mechanical lever or hydraulic cylinder.
These straighteners are typically used in 'non-marking' and 'critical-surface' applications and where the need to access and clean the straightener rolls is increased.
* CA/VR Series Cradle-Straightener-Feeders - unique 'three operations in one machine' feeding systems for processing narrow and heavy gauge materials up to 0.500in thick in extremely tight floor space applications.
Heavy-duty cradle box construction is combined with efficient hold-down and threading systems.
True pilot release is provided by the fully-driven feeder-straightener for running blanking, progressive die, and fineblanking operations.
* VRMHR Series Heavy-Duty Compact Lines - specialized machine designs for 'three operations in one machine' systems to process up to 0.250in-0.310in material thickness and high yield strengths.
A mandrel-type payoff system with heavy-duty coil containment and threading devices allows processing in limited floor space applications and provides effective coil threading and rewinding capability.
