Navigating the world of automated stamping production involves mastering a three-step operation that forms the crux of the process: uncoiling, levelling, and feeding sheet metal. Each of these tasks is assigned to a specific machine – the uncoiler, the leveler, and the feeder.
An innovative piece of technology that amalgamates these three pivotal roles into one machine is the ‘three-in-one’ feeder. Conversely, a ‘two-in-one’ model merges two of these functions into a single system. A common variant of this technology is the ‘two-in-one’ uncoiling and levelling machine. However, an alternative combination exists – the ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine.
Understanding the ‘Two-in-One’ Levelling and Feeding Machine
This hybrid machinery ingeniously combines a precision leveler and an NC servo feeder, providing levelling and feeding capabilities akin to its ‘three-in-one’ counterpart. The ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine, in its standalone variant, presents a more simplified model than the ‘three-in-one’ feeder, albeit with some marked functional differences.
Divergence in Precision
The unassisted ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine depends solely on the feeder for its levelling process, while the ‘three-in-one’ feeder utilizes an imported servo motor, creating a notable distinction in their operational accuracy.
Differences in Material Loading
Unlike the ‘three-in-one’ feeder, which boasts fully automated loading, the ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine requires manual intervention due to the absence of a hydraulic head-folding device.
Variance in Adjustments
The ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine depends on manual modification of the machine pedestal to adjust the machine body feed’s height. In contrast, the ‘three-in-one’ feeder features electric lifting adjustment, offering seamless electronic control operation from a touch screen interface.
Disparity in Relaxation Function
The simple ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine lacks a relaxation function in the levelling roller group, while the ‘three-in-one’ feeder is equipped with a pneumatic relaxation device, lifting the entire upper roller group when needed.
Practical Applications
The ‘two-in-one’ levelling and feeding machine excels at handling thin sheets between 0.3-2.0mm. However, it struggles with thicker materials due to possible slippage and inaccuracies. The ‘three-in-one’ feeder, with its wide array of models, offers a more versatile solution, adept at handling thin plates, medium plates, thick plates, and an assortment of other sheet types.
In the highly competitive domain of automated stamping production, the choice between ‘two-in-one’ and ‘three-in-one’ machinery is largely dependent on your requirements. Despite their differences, both types of machines contribute significantly to the industry, streamlining processes, enhancing precision, and ultimately, propelling productivity to new heights.
