The Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder, also known as the Thick Plate CNC Feeder, is a state-of-the-art machine engineered for efficient and precise feeding of medium-thickness plates ranging from 0.1 mm to 6 mm into punch presses. Utilizing advanced pneumatic pressing technology, it outperforms traditional roller-based feeders by providing consistent, reliable, and accurate material handling. This innovative design enhances both feeding speed and precision across a variety of industrial applications.

Below, we detail the key features, benefits, and feeding process of the Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder.

Key Advantages of the Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder

The Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder surpasses standard NC servo feeders through three major structural enhancements, delivering superior functionality, precision, and operational efficiency:

1. Adjustable Feed Channel Height

Equipped with a cylinder above the upper roller, the feeder allows the piston rod to extend and retract, precisely controlling the upper roller’s vertical movement. This feature enables easy adjustment of the feed channel height, accommodating materials of varying thicknesses. Such flexibility makes the feeder ideal for industries handling diverse plate sizes, expanding its range of applications and ensuring reliable performance across different production needs.

2. Additional Clamping Rollers for Enhanced Material Support

An extra set of clamping rollers integrated into the feeding support frame provides optimal material guidance and support. These rollers ensure smooth passage of materials through the system, maintaining consistent feeding speed and preventing deformation or misalignment. The result is more precise, stable, and efficient feeding, enhancing overall production quality.

3. Positioning Clamps for Improved Material Stability

Positioning clamps on the discharge support frame allow operators to adjust the material width and prevent lateral deviation during feeding. By securing the material in place, these clamps reduce the risk of misfeeding and improve feeding accuracy. With this added control, the Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder delivers smoother material transport and enhanced operational precision, ensuring reliable performance in demanding production environments.

How the Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder Works

The Thick Plate NC Servo Feeder is engineered for intuitive operation and precise material handling. The feeding process is structured into four key steps:

Step 1: Material Setup

Operators first adjust the spacing between the limit guide wheels on the feeding support frame and the positioning clamps on the discharge support frame to match the material’s width. The material is then positioned along the support frame, passing through the curved support frame, transmission roller, and non-powered clamping roller. At this stage, the material rests securely between the upper and lower rollers, ready for feeding.

Step 2: Pressing and Feeding Activation

The cylinder is then engaged to press the material firmly between the upper and driven rollers. By extending the piston rod, the system applies downward pressure via the spring mechanism, ensuring the material is held securely. This controlled pressing force guarantees stable and reliable feeding, even for thicker plates.

Step 3: Control and Adjustment

Operators can fine-tune feeding parameters using the touch screen, including feed step distance, count, and the number of sections per feeding cycle. These adjustable settings provide precise control, allowing the feeder to adapt to specific production requirements and maintain consistent performance.

Step 4: Servo Motor Activation

Finally, the servo motor drives both the active and upper rollers through a synchronized belt pulley system. This coordinated movement advances the material through the feed channel with high precision, ensuring smooth, efficient, and accurate delivery into the punch press. The result is optimized throughput and consistent production quality.
