Coe redesigns line of Heavy-Duty (HD) Servo Roll Feeds

COE Press Equipment, Sterling Heights, Mich., redesigned its Heavy-Duty (HD) Servo Roll Feeds, offering increased speed, precision and decreased cost of operation while being more robust and capable of handling thicker materials.

Design changes include a 15 per cent increase to journal and bearings sizes, enabling the feeds to handle material thickness up to 0.750-in. To optimize performance, the company reduced the air cylinder diameter across the product line. Minimizing cylinder size reduces the air required to pilot the feeder, helping to achieve faster speeds.

A new Single Point Roll Lift adjustment option helps operators to quickly set the optimal roll gap to ensure proper piloting. Both of these features are available in a hand crank, motorized or automated configuration.

The revamped product line consists of the 500, 600, 700 and 800 series and is available in nine widths from 18-in. to 78-in. Two new pull-through straighteners models are available to work in conjunction with these HD feeds. The feeds are designed to work with or without a power straightener.

A new Servo-Piloting option increases productivity in high-speed and high-precision applications.

These systems can process a wide range of heavy gauge materials including advanced steels. The HD Feeds can reach speeds up to 319 FPM, or up to 409 FPM with the Servo-Piloting option and have a peak motor torque of 1406 to 1800 lbs. based on model and configuration.
