Definition and main functions of punch press feeder: Punch press feeder is an electromechanical integrated automated equipment. It is a special auxiliary machine that can be matched with ordinary punch presses, deep throat punch presses or gantry punch presses. Punch press feeders are widely used in stamping processing in industries such as screen making, can making, machinery, electrical appliances, instruments, and hardware.
A punch press feeder is a machine for conveying materials, indispensable in both light and heavy industries. There are many types of punch press feeders, including pneumatic feeders, high-speed roller feeders, NC servo feeders, high-speed gear-changing feeders, and clamp feeders. Why is it necessary to loosen the feeder during punch press production? We all know that industrial products inevitably have errors during manufacturing. Similarly, punch press feeders also produce errors during the feeding process. The typical feeding accuracy of a punch press feeder is ±0.05mm, but this accuracy is still insufficient for high-precision stamping products. Therefore, precision stamping dies are equipped with guide pins. Through these guide pins, the accuracy of the stamped product can reach 0.003mm.
The principle is that during stamping, holes corresponding to the guide pins are first punched into the material. In the next feeding step, after the conical head of the guide pin enters the guide hole in the material, the feeder completely releases the material so that the die guide pin can correct the feeding error of the feeder. Therefore, when the stamping die has guide pins, the feeder must have a release function. However, if the die does not have guide pins, the release function of the feeder must be closed or adjusted so that the feeder does not release.
Currently, the operating and manufacturing costs and labor costs of companies in the stamping industry are constantly increasing. More and more stamping companies are choosing or considering choosing stamping automation equipment that offers high production efficiency, high quality, and low cost, thereby further enhancing their competitiveness. The punch press feeder is one of the most critical machines in stamping automation equipment. Companies that are choosing stamping automation equipment for the first time may not be very familiar with the characteristics and performance of punch press feeders.
