Dallas Industries feed line, rated at 30,000 lbs. x 72" wide, delivered to Toledo Tool & Die.
Dallas Industries announced that Toledo Tool & Die has purchased another feed line. This marks the third line in the last three years that Toledo Tool has purchased from Dallas Industries. Toledo Tool & Die specializes in metal stampings and precision engineering, from tool design and in-house builds to high-volume mass production of stamping assemblies and other machines.
The new LoopSelect SpaceSaver feed line is rated at 30,000 lbs. x 72" wide. The 72" wide is a DRFXDS-872 feed (8" diameter rolls) with a 9 roll, piloting pull through straightener with 5" diameter rolls.
The compact and flexible Loop Select SpaceSaver feed lines feature a selectable loop control. The front loop mode allows processing of light gauge material at long feed lengths and high speeds. The back loop mode allows processing of heavy gauge materials using a clock spring loop to form beneath the coil.
The line is built on an Allen-Bradley, Ethernet-based control architecture 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.
The ProfileSelect feed control system 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 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."
The system also has AutoSet, a feature that automatically adjusts various axes based on job recipe. AutoSet features auto adjusting feed passline, feeder/straightener edge guides and reel coil guides.
