Servo Feeds
EF Series EF Series feeds are designed to provide an economical means of
employing servo feed technology to smaller presses without sacrificing build
quality, accuracy, durability or power. 
The mechanical design of the EF Series also sets it apart. Consider all that is standard on every model: solid, matte finished rolls, air cylinder roll pressure and pilot release, planetary inline reducer, cluster gear power transfer and pivoting upper roll assembly for ideal gear mesh. The EF series can be equipped with a pull-thru straightener to reduce space and capital investment in the overall feed line. See this link for more information.
Another significant difference between EF Series feeds and other models is power. Compared to similar competitive brands, some EF Series feeds may have 400% to 800% more torque!!

RF Series The RF Series feeds are ideal for many medium to heavy duty stamping and cut-to-length applications. This series comes in 5 sizes, ranging from 4” to 8” diameter feed rolls in an array of coil widths. High torque servo motors drive either planetary or helical-bevel reducers make the RF series both powerful and precise. |

Controls
Feed Lease Corporation
is proud to employ top quality controls on every servo feed. Each Feed Lease servo feed utilizes a Control Techniques drive for superior performance. Since no components of the electronic system are proprietary, you have the option to use your local distributor for any replacement parts.
All feeds except EF) are PLC-based, allowing a wide array of functionality including four different jog modes, part recipe storage, and an integrated batch count. The standard control includes a feed complete output (optional on EF series) to use with simple press signal-feed/feed-signal press and cut-to-length applications.
Optional I/O are available for more advanced cut-to-length systems. Our optional Automated Line Solution allows any powered axis to be
stored in the job recipe storage and automatically position when a given job is loaded. The optional Off-Site Remote Service adds to our 24/7 service commitment by allowing our controls service personnel access to the feed line controls remotely. We
can take control of the feed line for troubleshooting and setup adjustment from anywhere in the
world at a moment's notice, anywhere in the world!

Four-Roll Feeds
4 roll feeds from Feed Lease can be a good choice when running wide, lighter gauge material. Since four rolls contact the material instead of two, the per roll pressure can be reduced. For sensitive materials where not marking or stretching the material is critical, a 4 roll feed may be the best choice.
These feeds benefit from a few construction advantages worth noting: 1) The upper feed rolls are trunion mounted (i.e., rolls pivot rather than go straight up and down as with a slide block design). Trunion mounted upper rolls are the standard on most heavy-duty two roll feeders as they increase the mechanical advantage of the roll and maintain complete gear mesh at all times. 2) Upper rolls work together or independently. Unlike some other 4 roll feeders, Feed Lease four roll servo feeds allow all four feed rolls to work together OR independently. This adds flexibility in the line. In effect, you get a 2 roll and a 4 roll feed in one! 3) Two sizes are available - dual 4" diameter rolls and dual 5.5" diameter rolls All standard features and options of 2 roll feeds are also available for 4 roll feeds. Discuss your application with a Feed Lease sales rep to determine if your application is best suited for a 4 roll feed. |

Feeder/Straighteners
 |
The Servo-Powered Series of Feeder/Straighteners mark a huge advancement in compact feed line capabilities. It is ideally suited for heavy-gauge, high strength steels. Material up to 84” wide and up to ½” thick can be fed and straightened, even if the material is high strength. Different than a servo feed with a pull-thru straightener, this tested system is designed such that the entry and exit feed rolls along with all of the lower straightener rolls are driven together. This is accomplished with a huge servo motor, helical-bevel reducer and gear train. As impressive is that all upper rolls (straightener too) will lift for pilot registration using a heavy-duty pneumatic or hydraulic system (a much heavier-duty design than the pilot release systems available on pull-thru straighteners). A great benefit of the design is that the straightener rolls, while able to lift for pilot registration, are still independently adjusted. This gives them greater depth penetration and flexibility when compared to bank-adjusted and pull-thru straightener designs. |

| A great benefit of the design is that the straightener rolls, while able to lift for pilot registration, are still independently adjusted. This gives them greater depth penetration and flexibility when compared to bank-adjusted and pull-thru straightener designs. To illustrate the differences between this design and many servo feed/pull-thru straightener designs, consider just the straightener side plate. For some pull-thru straighteners, the side plate thickness will range between 3/8” and 1¼”. Comparatively, the Extreme-Duty feeder/straightener has an outer side plate thickness of 2”. Since the upper roll assembly is built separate from the rest of the machine for added structural rigidity, the side plate for the upper rolls (inner side plate) is 2.5” thick! That’s quite a significant design upgrade over even so-called “heavy-duty” servo feeds with pull-thru straighteners. |

Servo Feeds with Pull-Thru Straighteners

 |
 |
| Model EF-XD-12 on an adjustable height cabinet. This unit also has a seven roll pull-thru straightener with manual pinch rolls for a compact solution. | Model RF-4-24 on a cabinet with optional pull-thru straightener in a typical stamping application. Note that the pull-thru straightener is equipped with available powered pinch rolls and has the "Airlift" feature. This feature allows the pull-thru straightener's upper rolls to open with the roll feed, allowing true "float" for proper pilot engagement. | Model RF-8-60 (rated for 60”x.250”) shown with optional seven roll pull through straightener with our unique Airlift pilot release feature which allows the straightener’s upper rolls to pilot with the feeder’s upper roll. The upper roll feed was specially designed with removable collars for running material coated with dry lubricant. |
