Feeder:
A total of 14 feet
from back back of the coil to the press
Teach mode minimizes operator duties -
optional
Closes the loop on straightening the metal as the coil diameter
gets smaller
Closed Loop Control - Sensors look
at the metal and automatically adjust the rolls to assure straightened metal
enters your die no matter the coil diameter - optional
Capable of handling metal
thicknesses from 0.09 to 0.5 inches .
Servo Feeds:
Permanently sealed, lubricated bearings
used throughout feed for less maintenance and longer life.
Feed rolls are hardened and ground with
shot blast finish to assure positive grip for consistent, accurate feeding.
Upper and lower rolls driven through
cluster gear arrangement assure constant gear mesh throughout material
thickness range.
Air-applied adjustable feed roll pressure
for various material thicknesses and finishes.
High performance AC Servo brushless motor.
Adjustable roll lift mechanism for varying
material thicknesses and quicker response during piloting.
Quick release, manually adjustable,
vertical roller-type stock guides easily align material to the die.
Entry catenary rolls support material from
the loop.
Micro feed length adjustment in automatic mode for
fine tuning of feed lengths.
Electrically matched drive and motor for better
response and performance.
Fully programmable feed length range between .001” and
99.999” in .001” increments.
Roll position repeatability of plus or minus .002”
with high resolution encoder providing superior accuracy and repeatability.
Straighteners:
Permanently sealed lubricated bearings
reduce the need for maintenance and increases bearing life. Straightening rolls are arranged to
provide precision straightening over a wide range of material thicknesses. The
lower driven rolls maintain line speed and ease thread-up.
Individual upper roll adjustment provides
more control to remove coil curvature in the straightening operation.
Engraved scales show true upper
straightener roll position.
Over sized bearings support set in
heavy-duty support frames maintain roll parallelism and assure long lasting
performance.
All rolls are hardened and ground to a
smooth finish, providing a long lasting durable roll surface.
Vertical roller type stock guides are
manually positioned and require no hand tools for adjustment to properly edge
guide material.
Variable speed drives provide smooth
material acceleration and deceleration to minimize material loop motion and
provide maximum adaptability to varying production requirements.
Potentiometer-Adjusted speed control allows
the operator to effectively control the loop of the material and assure the
smooth running and more efficient operation of the straightener and feed.
Power to the rolls is transmitted through a
worm gear reducer and multiple strand chain, providing consistent control of
line speed over a greater range of material and reducing maintenance.
Inclined Straightener head.
Outgoing catenary assists and supports the
material into the loop.
Coil Reels:
Spindle Arms and Spindle Assembly
mounted on tapered roller bearings.
Larger reels have oil filled gear case.
Clockwise or counter-clockwise spindle
rotation.
Electric brake and power pack.
Adjustable front and rear keepers. Quick
release eccentric cam operated front keepers (On 2,000 lb. reels and above
only).
Turret assembly is mounted on anti-friction
bearings (Double reels only).
Turret release mechanism actuated by foot
pedal (2,000 lb. reels and above - double models only).
Handwheel for expansion of spindle arms can
be located at the front or rear of spindle.
Electrical devices are prewired and
terminated at one location on motorized reels. Call or e-mail Variegate, Inc. today for a comprehensive catalog
