HG series high speed gripper feeder for precision stamping press lines — HG high speed gripper feeder for short-pitch, high-frequency press feeding.

Overview

Mechanical cam feeding for short-pitch, high-speed stamping

The gripper feeder uses a cam-driven mechanical transmission linked to the press timing. During each cycle, the clamp holds and moves the strip forward while the release action protects the die timing and feeding position. This structure is useful when a roller feeder may mark the material surface, slip on narrow strips, or struggle with very fast short-pitch production.

High-speed synchronization

Mechanical drive helps keep the feeding action aligned with the press crankshaft, supporting high-frequency stamping work where stable timing is critical.

No-mark strip handling

The horizontal gripping structure can be adjusted for material thickness and surface sensitivity, reducing indentation risk on plated, soft, or precision strip material.

Repeatable setup

Digital pitch indication and a material-thickness dial help operators set feeding length and clamping gap with less trial-and-error during die changes.

Model selection

Choose the HG model by pitch, strip width, and press speed

Start with feeding pitch and material width, then confirm the required press speed, feeding angle, material thickness, surface condition, and die release timing.

Structure

Check the clamp, release, and pitch controls on the feeder body

The HG feeder is selected around short-pitch accuracy, surface protection, and press timing. The marked structure image shows the buyer where the main adjustment and inspection points sit before confirming a line layout.

Feed clamp and fixed clamp

The moving and fixed clamp work with release timing so the strip advances while the die is open and stays positioned during press action.

Release and pitch adjustment

The release adjustment, pitch indicator, and handwheel should match the die timing, target SPM, and required feed length.

Oil sight glass and infeed support

The oil sight glass and material infeed bracket help operators check running condition and strip entry before long production runs.

Setup control

Fast adjustment for material thickness and feeding pitch

For short-run die changes or precision terminal production, setup time matters. The HG series keeps the material-thickness dial and feed-pitch adjustment visible so operators can repeat the required settings more easily.

Short pitch first

Check feed length and press speed before choosing the model name.

Surface protection

Use gripper feeding when plated, soft, or delicate strip surfaces need reduced roller contact.

Press timing

Confirm feeding angle, release timing, and installation side with the die and press layout.

Applications

For terminals, lead frames, motor laminations, and high-speed strip work

HG gripper feeders are used where the press must feed narrow or short-pitch material quickly while keeping the strip surface and pitch position stable.

Match the feeder to the stamped part

Share the part drawing, strip width, feeding pitch, material thickness, target SPM, and surface requirement so Henli can check the HG feeder fit.

Typical stamped products include motor core parts, terminal strips, connector pins, and precision lead frames.

01Precision terminals and connectors

Plated strip and small contacts with controlled marking risk.

02Lead frames and micro-electronic parts

Short-pitch feeding for progressive dies and repeatable positioning.

03Motor cores and laminations

Thin-sheet lamination stamping on high-speed press lines.

04Containers, zippers, precision hardware

Repeatable feed timing for surface-sensitive parts.

Feeder comparison

When to compare gripper feeding with other press feeders

A high speed gripper feeder is not the only press feeding choice. Compare the production need before choosing a machine type.

Gripper feeder

Best fit for high-speed, short-pitch precision stamping where strip surface protection, synchronized press timing, and stable feeding are important.

NC servo feeder

Compare when feeding length changes frequently, recipe control is needed, or the application requires servo-driven roll feeding rather than cam-driven gripper feeding.

Pneumatic air feeder

Compare for economical fixed-pitch punch press feeding where speed and precision requirements are lower than the HG high-speed gripper feeder range.

High speed gear feeder

Compare when the die, press, and material conditions fit gear-driven high-speed feeding instead of horizontal gripper clamping.

FAQ

High speed gripper feeder questions

What is the maximum speed of the HG high speed gripper feeder?

The HG-60 model supports up to 800 SPM in the listed range. HG-80 supports up to 700 SPM, and HG-80W supports up to 400 SPM. Actual production speed should be confirmed with feeding pitch, material behavior, die timing, and press condition.

When should I choose a gripper feeder instead of a roller feeder?

Choose a gripper feeder when short-pitch, high-speed stamping needs synchronized mechanical feeding and lower surface-marking risk. If the job needs frequent programmable pitch changes, compare an NC servo feeder before final selection.

Will the gripper feeder mark plated or sensitive strip material?

The HG series uses an adjustable horizontal gripping structure to reduce marking risk on sensitive strip material. Final suitability still depends on material hardness, coating, thickness, surface cleanliness, and clamping adjustment.

What material range can the HG feeder handle?

The listed material thickness range is 0.04-2.0 mm. Standard material width is 8-110 mm for HG-60 and HG-80, while HG-80W handles 8-150 mm. Share the strip drawing or material sample details for confirmation.

Does the feeder need electricity or compressed air?

The feeding motion is mechanically driven by the press timing instead of a separate feeder motor. The listed required air pressure is 5 kgf/cm2 for release-related functions, so the final setup should confirm the plant air supply.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Please provide material type, thickness, strip width, feeding pitch, target SPM, press model, die release requirement, installation side, feeding direction, and existing coil handling equipment.
