Dallas Industries conventional feed line installed at Apex Spring & Stamping, a full-service manufacturer of precision springs, stampings, wire forms and assemblies.
Dallas Industries, a manufacturer of coil handling, press feeding equipment and controls for the stamping industry, 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 and cabinet mounted servo feed. It is rated for up to 6,000 lbs. x 18" wide material and is feeding a newly acquired Aida servo press.
The feed line includes Allen-Bradley controls and features SyncLoop and ProfileSelect. With SyncLoop technology, the average line speed and loop depths are monitored and payout speeds adjusted automatically to provide a smooth payout.
ProfileSelect is a 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," said a company spokesperson. "ProfileSelect, on the other hand, uses a sinusoidal (cam motion) profile. This results in a smooth feed motion that utilizes 100% of the press feed window, reducing stress on the material and the feed's mechanical components."
