HG series mechanical cam feeder
High Speed Gripper Feeder for Precision Stamping
Henli HG series high speed gripper feeders synchronize with high-speed power presses for short-pitch strip feeding, delicate plated material, terminal stamping, lead frames, motor laminations, and other precision metal parts where feed timing and surface protection matter.
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.
The moving and fixed clamp work with release timing so the strip advances while the die is open and stays positioned during press action.
The release adjustment, pitch indicator, and handwheel should match the die timing, target SPM, and required feed length.
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.
Quotation data
Send strip, press, and die data before model selection
A correct HG feeder recommendation depends on more than the model name. Share the production data below so Henli can check model size, feeding timing, installation direction, and line layout.
- Material type and surface condition
- Material thickness and strip width
- Required feeding pitch
- Target press speed / SPM
- Press model and crankshaft timing
- Die guide pin or release requirement

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.
