Mechanical Gripper Feeder, High Speed

Makewell Controls offers a high speed Mechanical Gripper Feeder. This is ideal for accurate feeding of coil material on medium and high speed presses with progressive tools. The feeding accuracy is to the tune of ±10 microns. Operation: a right angle gearbox is mounted on the press crankshaft to transmit the press rotary drive to the feeder. A splined shaft and a coupling connect the gearbox with the feeder. The rotary motion of the feed slides with the help of an eccentric disc. Wedge type carbide grippers advance the strip between hardened upper and lower stock guides for proper feeding and to avoid buckling. Full rotation roller cams control the feed cycle and timing of pilot release. A scale and a vernier are provided for feed length adjustment to ensure operator friendliness. Different stock thickness is reset by adjusting the two knurled hand knobs. Established in the year 1999, the company is one of the prominent manufacturers and exporters of pneumatic feeders, servo feeders, gripper feeders, strip straightened and de-coilers and re-coilers.
