Heavy-Duty Servo Feeds

June 4, 2019 Products

More robust and capable of handling thicker materials, redesigned Heavy-Duty Servo Roll Feeds from COE Press Equipment increase speed and precision and decrease the cost of operation.

The redesigned Heavy-Duty Servo Roll Feed from COE Press Equipment has 15 percent larger journal and bearings sizes to handle material thickness up to 0.750 in. Its air cylinder diameter is smaller to reduce the air required to pilot the feeder and achieve faster speeds. More robust and flexible edge guides and a new Single Point Roll Lift adjustment option helps operators quickly set the optimal roll gap for proper piloting.

The redesigned line of Heavy-Duty (HD) Servo Roll Feeds from COE Press Equipment (Sterling Heights, MI) now offer increased speed, precision and decreased cost of operation while being more robust and capable of handling thicker materials. Based upon a modular design, these feeds provide ease of maintenance and the flexibility to reconfigure machine options should a customer’s needs change. Design changes include a 15 percent increase to journal and bearings sizes that enable the feeds to handle material thickness up to 0.750 in. To optimize performance, the air cylinder diameter has been reduced across the product line to reduce the air required to pilot the feeder, helping to achieve faster speeds. The edge guides are now designed to be more robust and flexible, and a new Single Point Roll Lift adjustment option helps operators to quickly set the optimal roll gap to ensure proper piloting. Both of these features are available in a hand crank, motorized or automated configuration.

This revamped equipment line – consisting of the 500, 600, 700 and 800 series – is available in nine widths, from 18 in to 78 in. Two new pull-through straighteners have been released to work in conjunction with these HD feeds, which are designed to work with or without a power straightener. A Servo-Piloting option has also been developed to increase productivity in high-speed and high precision applications. Servo-Piloting allows accurate, repeatable pilot timing at speeds more than 10X faster than air piloting mechanisms. These systems can process a wide range of heavy gauge materials, including advanced steels. The HD Feeds can reach speeds up to 319 fp or up to 409 fpm with the Servo-Piloting option, and have a peak motor torque of 1,406 lb to 1800 lb based on model and configuration.
