LD Precision Style Feed Drive

The four wheel LD Precision Style Feed Unit can be integrated with most fine wire and strip processing operations, and offers features and benefits that make it an excellent choice for applications that require a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.  The material is guided between two pairs of synchronously geared feed rolls, with adjustable gripping pressure applied through pneumatic cylinders. The feed rolls are ground to suit the specific material cross section, and can accept up to 3 individual wire grooves.  The Four Roll Feed Box is well suited for high speed feed applications, and when equipped with the appropriate drive and controls, is an excellent choice for demanding multi-directional feed and speed requirements. When servo-drive configured, dual axis are employed to insure accuracy and repeatability. Depending upon the specific application, constant speed, variable speed, stepper or servo motors and controllers can be utilized to drive the feeder. A single drive axis configuration is also available but will not match the product specifications listed below.

 TAK offers two standard control packages that can be utilized to exercise the unit to perform controlled wire or strip feeding or with the incorporation of a TAK cutter head, wire straightener, and wire / strip payoff can function as a turnkey cut to length system.
