Machine Concepts is proud to introduce its latest innovation — the Servo Roll Feed Bar Feeding System for mechanical and hydraulic presses. The highly-advanced servo-driven system improves production rates and feed accuracy while reducing scrap and labor.
Learn How the System Works to Reduce Labor Costs
- These highly-automated systems utilize a bar magazine loading area allowing stacks of bars to be pre-staged for the line.
- An automated gantry pick and place loading system then places individual bars on a powered roller conveyor.
- From there, a servo-driven roll feed is used to accurately move and position the bars for processing.
- To ensure accurate progressions, the servo feeds incorporate non-marking feed rolls that are textured to provide enhanced contact between the feed rolls and the bar stock.
- The bar feeding lines are fully adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of bar lengths, widths and thicknesses.
- The system utilizes an Allen Bradley touch screen control system to fully interface with the press and any in-house reporting network, storing up to 200 job recipes.
The system can operate in continuous on-demand or single stroke modes and also can operate in inches or metric. Once a job has been entered into the system, it can operate without any operator intervention reducing labor costs.
