How it benefits you.
*May reduce floor space
*May eliminate need of a looping pit
*Loop control automatically adjusts from job to job
*Feed automatically adjusts to press speed
*Integration of press, feed, and straightener makes system more
intuitive
*Sophisticated servo and PLC design constantly monitors feed line,
ensuring maximum accuracy and uptime
*Optional PC (with Ethernet connectivity) allows for quick remote
access for system troubleshooting
*Color touchscreen HMI designed with simple- to-use operator screens
is standard equipment
*Optional automatic setup will adjust feed passline height, edge
guide position, straightener roll penetration, and reel alignment to
straightener automatically with the touch of a button. |

How it works.
A Feed Lease-supplied rotary encoder (a) constantly senses the press' crank
position. This position reference is sent to the servo feeder's drive (b)
thereby integrating the press and feeder. Since the feed always knows how
fast the press is running, it will automatically compensate for changes in
press speed (this system is also ideal for link-motion presses).
The powered straightener drive (d) is upgraded to the same servo platform as
the drive in the feed. This platform has a unique "peer-to-peer"
connectivity, allowing the two drives to communicate directly with each
other through a high speed networking protocol. Once upgraded, the
straightener drive will receive an average line speed pulse from the
feeder's drive. In this way, the straightener now knows how fast the feeder
is actually going, rather than simply receiving a signal from a
non-integrated loop control (i.e.: ultrasonic, loop arm, loop lights, etc.).
An ultrasonic loop control (c) is included as a backup and also provides a
position reference to confirm that the two drives are communicating
properly.
