New Conventional Feed Line Delivered to Apex Spring & Stamping
Dallas Industries, a leading manufacturer of coil handling, press feeding equipment and controls for the stamping industry has announced that Apex Spring & Stampings in Grand Rapids, MI has taken delivery of a new Dallas Industries conventional feed line. Apex Spring & Stamping is a full-service manufacturer of precision springs, stampings, wire forms and assemblies.
The conventional line features a pull off coil reel with automated braking, a powered straightener, threading table, cabinet mounted servo feed. It is rated for up to 6000 lb.-x-18 in. wide material and is feeding a newly acquired Aida servo press.
The feed line includes Allen-Bradley controls and features SyncLoop and ProfileSelect™. SyncLoop technology, wherein the average line speed and loop depths are monitored and payout speeds adjusted automatically to ensure a smooth payout. ProfileSelect™ is a unique feed control system that is exclusively available through Dallas Industries. Most servo feed controls use a trapezoidal motion profile that creates quick, jerky motions that can cause slippage, material damage and added stress to machine components. ProfileSelect on the other hand uses a sinusoidal (cam motion) profile. This results in a smooth feed motion that utilizes 100 percent of the press feed window, reducing stress on the material and the feed’s mechanical components.
Dallas Industries’ full line of products includes conventional and compact coil feed lines, as well as servo feeds, heavy-duty straighteners and coil handling equipment.
