Feeding Equipment: Decoilers, Straighteners and Servo Feeders
The manufacturer's feeding catalogue covers the full coil path: decoilers (uncoilers), levellers (straighteners), combined uncoiler-straightener units, 3-in-1 decoiler-straightener-feeder machines, roll feeders, gripper feeders and NC servo feeders. The documented window across the combined machines: material thickness 0.3 to 4.5 mm and coil widths of 70 to 1,000 mm on the 3-in-1 series, coils up to 7 tons, and feeding accuracy of ±0.15 mm under a 500 mm feeding length.
NLF2 3-in-1 Servo Uncoiler-Straightener-Feeder — What Is Published
The NLF2 is documented in the manufacturer's platform catalogue as a 3-in-1 N.C. level servo uncoiler-straightener-feeder machine. The published specification is short, and it is reproduced here as published rather than expanded: it fits material 0.3-3.2 mm thick and uses 11 levelling rollers, which the listing credits with enhancing the material's rectifying precision. No per-model table is published for the NLF2 — coil width, coil weight and drive figures for a specific configuration are confirmed in the quotation, not invented here.
3-in-1 Decoiler-Straightener-Feeder
The 3-in-1 series (documented on the manufacturer's platform catalogue) merges decoiler, straightener and feeder under a single touch screen with a self-diagnosis system — one cabinet, one operator, and feeding accuracy held to ±0.15 mm under a 500 mm feed length with pneumatic pilot release. Material window: 0.3-4.5 mm thick, 70-1,000 mm wide, coils to 7 tons, for material up to 245 N/mm² yield strength. It is the standard front end for the C1N, A1 and C2N press cells described on the metal stamping machines page.
Separate Units: Roll Feeders, Gripper Feeders, NC Servo Feeders
- Roll feeders — the catalogue's roll feeder machine listing publishes coil width steps from 200 to 1,300 mm, feeding speeds of 0-22 m/min and ±0.1 mm feed accuracy.
- Gripper feeders — NRG-80 and GS-906N gripper (clip) feeders move strip by clamping rather than rolling, for short pitches and delicate surfaces.
- NC servo feeders — the NCF servo feeder family sets feed length digitally for multi-pitch progressive work.
- Decoilers and straighteners — standalone uncoilers and levellers for buyers building a line around an existing feeder, or a feeder around an existing press.
Feeding equipment is quoted with the press as one line, or separately. Whichever way, state coil width, thickness range, coil weight and target feed pitch in the enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What coil sizes can the feeding lines handle?
The published windows: 70-1,000 mm width and 0.3-4.5 mm thickness, coils to 7 tons, on the 3-in-1 series; the NLF2 servo line is published for 0.3-3.2 mm material with 11 levelling rollers, with its width and coil-weight figures confirmed per configuration in the quotation.
How accurate is the feed?
The 3-in-1 documentation states ±0.15 mm under a 500 mm feed length. Accuracy in production also depends on the die's pilot pins and the material; the figure is the machine's published specification.
Can a feeder be retrofitted to a press from another maker?
Feeders are standalone machines with their own drive and control, so they are not tied to this manufacturer's presses. Interface details — signal for feed release, mounting height — are confirmed in the quotation.
Roll feeder or servo feeder?
The roll feeder documented in this catalogue is itself servo-driven: a high-torque, low-inertia servo motor and drive run the rolls, and the pitch is set at the control panel — the pattern for long runs at a set pitch. The NCF servo feeder pattern sets pitch digitally and adds stored feed-length groups (a listed option on the NCF) for multi-pitch programmes. The feeding catalogue also lists gripper feeders described for high-speed stamping work; see the high-speed page.
