Efficient Operations with the Mechanically-Driven NC Servo Feeder

In the domain of mechanical operations, the NC Servo Feeder emerges as a sophisticated piece of machinery, specifically designed for high-speed feed presses and traditional punches. Its robust architecture, powered by a rod-release mechanism, ensures optimal compatibility with installation constraints.

Component Breakdown: Understanding the NC Servo Feeder

At its core, the NC Servo Feeder is a trinity of the feed head, an intuitive electronic control box, and a mechanical relaxation rod device. The feed head plays host to an array of components, including a material support frame, a baffle wheel, a feed roller spring, a relaxation bracket, a relaxation shaft, a plate thickness adjustment disc, upper and lower rollers, a synchronous belt wheel, and a servo motor.

Powering the machine, the servo motor connects to the lower roller. This connection triggers the upper gear through the lower gear, thereby actuating the lower roller. Once the baffle wheel is set, the spring tension is adjusted, and the plate thickness disc is tuned, the servo motor’s rotation, harmonized with the lower roller through the belt wheel, mobilizes the upper gear. This motion then engages the upper roller, culminating in the feeding process through the intermeshing of the upper and lower rollers.

Leveraging the Electronic Control Box for Smooth Operations

The NC Servo Feeder’s electronic control box contains a box shell, a high-precision Mitsubishi PLC, a Mitsubishi driver, a 7-inch touchscreen, a transformer, an AC contactor, control buttons, and a handle affixed next to the box shell. This user-friendly interface streamlines the process of defining feed steps, length, and segment number on the touchscreen, enabling swift, reliable, and uncomplicated operations.

The Crucial Role of the Rod Release Device

The rod release mechanism, which consists of a relaxation fixed plate, a relaxation rod guide rail, and a relaxation screw, is positioned on the press slide’s feed inlet. This strategic placement works in synergy with the relaxation bracket on the head, facilitating the performance of the relaxation action.

Optimizing the Use of the NC Servo Feeder

For the successful operation of the mechanical NC Servo Feeder, the feed height should be aligned with the stamping die’s height to maintain the same horizontal plane. Afterwards, the material is manually navigated through the feeder using the support frame, and introduced into the press mold. The lateral spring tension is adjusted for the best fit between the upper roller and the material. Subsequently, the baffle wheel is calibrated based on the material width, and the fixing screw of the thickness adjustment disc is set according to the plate thickness. Following these steps, the relaxation on the NC Servo Feeder is tuned.

Lastly, step distance, speed, and repetition number settings are entered on the touchscreen. This configuration allows for iterative testing, and assuming no anomalies are detected, it paves the way for the commencement of fully automated stamping feed production. This comprehensive and intuitive approach makes the NC Servo Feeder an indispensable tool in any mechanical environment.
