Customizable belt feed
Overview of the customizable parameters of our belt feeders
Feed rate
The speed at which the tool or workpiece is moved along a path. Measured in units such as millimeters per minute (mm/min) or meters per minute (m/min).
Feed force
The force applied to the tool or workpiece during the feed. Adequate feed force is important to ensure effective material removal or forming.
Adjustability
The ability to adjust the feed to the requirements of the processing or production. This can be done manually or automatically.
Return speed
The speed at which the tool or workpiece is retracted after the feed has been completed.
Precision and repeatability
The accuracy and repeatability of the feed mechanism. Precision is crucial for achieving tolerance-compliant processing results.
Operating mode
The operating mode of the feed system can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic. In CNC machines (Computer Numerical Control), the feed often occurs automatically according to the CNC program.
Feed type
Depending on the application and machine type, various types of feed mechanisms may be present, such as linear feeds, rotary feeds, or pivoting feeds.
Control system
The control system can vary and allows for programmability as well as integration into production lines.
Feed axes
The number of feed axes indicates along which axes the feed takes place. This can occur along a linear axis, multiple linear axes, or rotating axes, depending on the machine.
Material feed
In manufacturing lines or systems that supply material, the feed also refers to the controlled feeding of the material into the production process.
Security features
Feed systems can be equipped with safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop buttons, or collision sensors.
Ease of maintenance
The accessibility and ease of maintenance of the feed mechanism affect maintenance efficiency.
Would you like to know more about our feeds?
We would be happy to discuss your specific case in a non-binding conversation. You can expect the following:
- joint conceptual discussion for the new feed
- first sketches of the new machine
- Discussions with design and production
- Access to confidential videos
Please feel free to contact me to arrange an appointment to discuss feed rates.
What are belt feeders?
In manufacturing and machining technology, the term "customizable strip feeder" refers to the uniform movement of a tool or workpiece along a predefined path during a machining process. The feed rate is a critical parameter that determines the speed at which the tool or workpiece is moved. The value of the feed rate directly affects the rate at which material is removed or a workpiece is processed by a machine.
