Dallas Industries Delivers Feed Line to Grant Industries



Grant Industries, a manufacturer of stampings and assemblies has taken delivery on a new Dallas Industries conventional feed line.

Dallas Industries, a manufacturer of coil handling, press feeding equipment and controls for the stamping industry, has announced that Grant Industries, Fraser, MI, a stamping and assembly manufacturer, has taken delivery on a new Dallas Industries feed line.

The automated conventional coil feed line is rated for materials up to 50,000 lb. x 54" wide and is equipped with 6" diameter roll feed with servo pilot adjustment. This enables the operator to adjust the pilot release gap and still maintain the ability to adjust roll pressure when running a thin, surface-critical material. The line also incorporates a nine-roll straightener with automated straightener roll position (or AutoSet).

AutoSet allows for some or all of the adjustable points on a feed line such as straightener rolls, edge guides, coil guides and feed passline to be automatically positioned based on job parameters. "Profile Select, another Dallas Industries feature, is a unique feed control system that is exclusively available through Dallas Industries," said a company spokesperson. "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% of the press feed window, reducing stress on the material and the feed's mechanical components."

The unit also features a Tail-Out feature to run the feeder in automatic mode while loading reel and a powered straightener material calculator to assist with determining brake roll adjustment.

Grant Industries provides prototypes and production of stampings and assemblies to a variety of industries.

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.
