Mechanical Features:
1.25" diameter smooth steel finish rolls Our special low inertia
roll design is proven performer in thousands of applications.
Heavy duty dowel-pinned frame We start with high-quality precision
ground steel plate. After assembly and alignment, the frame is dowel-pinned. This
insures long-term alignment and feeding accuracy, and has none of
the stability problems associated with cast feed frames. The steel
is finished with black oxide.
Permanently lubricated anti-friction bearings Long life back-to-back
sets.
Gears between top and bottom rolls
Two adjustable stock entry guides Cam rollers with handles. No tools
are required for adjustment.
Horizontal hold-down rollers at feed input These entry rollers keep
material from jumping the stock guides during very high
acceleration.
Precision Direct drive technology
High-speed air pilot release or mechanical pilot release Used for
releasing the feed rolls, allowing pilot pins to take control of
strip position, or to help compensate for defects in strip geometry.
Waddington feeds feature one of the fastest air pilot release
systems in use today.
Customers routinely use them for applications as high as 300 SPM.
Waddington offers many types of mechanical pilot release mechanisms
depending on press stroke length and speed.
We also offer servo-driven pilot release for applications that
involve very high speeds and/or no mechanical access to the press
crank shaft.
SF Under drive
Compact belt driven feeds feature motor located under the rolls.
Electrical Features:
Following error output Stops press or other equipment in event of
stock jam or feed malfunction.
RS-232 interface For connection to remote computers or Data
Instruments’ Spectrum, ProCamâ 1500, SmartPak, DiProâ 1500, and
selected Link Systems for total press control integration.
Electrical surge suppressers 14 suppressers are provided to suppress
any inductive coils found in the press electrical control system.
Additional suppressers are available.
Control Console push buttons and operators. We use only NEMA 12
rated industrial operators.
Touch Screen Interface
Power "ON" (push button)
Emergency "STOP" (palm button)
Feed rolls open /closed / auto (selector)
Productivity Features
Optional
Portable "SETUP" Push-button Station Jog Fwd / Jog Rev / JTL
An optional feature on Waddington feeds, the jog forward and reverse
buttons are mounted in a 2 PB hand-held box and connected to the
main electrical enclosure or operator station by a coil cord. There
is also a storage pocket that can be mounted in a convenient
location.
Thebuilt in jog feature allows the press operator or setup person to jog the
material through the die. When used in conjunction with
jog-to-length feature, the material can be jogged up to stock guides
started in the guides, and then continued into the next die station,
the jog-to-length software will automatically stop the feed at
exactly the proper location. This feature allows for rapid threading
of progressive tooling with stock lifters or unsupported areas
between die stations.
Electrical /Pneumatic roll open/close operation For easy stock
threading into feed rolls.
Electrical I/O
E-Stop String Input Stops feed
E-Stop String Output Can be used to stop other equipment
Index Complete Used to cycle presses or other equipment and can be
tied into die protection systems. This output is used in conjunction
with the software settable index complete window.
Early index Complete Used to start other equipment such
as hydraulic presses. This output can start other equipment before
the feed cycle is finished, and can decrease total cycle time when
the feed is used with hydraulic presses.
2 Feed to sensor inputs Allows the feed system to position the
material based on a registration mark or previously stamped feature
on the strip.
Fault Signals other equipment in event of feed overload or failure
Following error Can be used to detect stock jams and other tooling
and feeding problems
Control Console:
The control console
(NEMA 12) is wired to J.I.C. standards The enclosure is free
standing type. The dimensions are approximately 24" x 24" x 12".
Standard color: PRF light tan. The enclosure sits on a set of legs
and the slant front push button station is located on the top of the
cabinet.
Remote push button station
The push button station can also be remote mounted from the main
feed enclosure. For customized installations and applications where
die protection, electronic Cam switch, and programmable pattern
options are ordered, larger push-button stations are utilized.
Documentation and support
Each feed ships with one set of D-Sized electrical drawings, an
installation guide, an operator’s manual with programming
instructions, examples and a trouble-shooting guide. In addition,
factory manuals are provided for the positioning system and servo
drive. All systems are followed by our computerized feed tracking
database; all major feed components are tracked by serial number.
This computerized system allows our service and support staff to
provide prompt answers to your servo feed application questions and
service requests.
