At Metal Form Group we have our own brand of NC roll feeders. We also have various other sources of NC roll feeds including ServoPresse from Italy.
Servopresse are one of the few feeder manufacturers in the world that have a separate encoder to measure the material pitch after it exits from the roll feed.
Advantages of NC roll feeds are they are quiet, they are very quick to set and adjust pitch, they can work at very high speeds, they have high accuracy and can have advanced programming features such as memory and speed control.
Disadvantages of NC roll feeds are initial purchase price can be higher than other methods, they can slip if interference is met during the feed command causing inaccuracy and require specialist service if maintenance is required. If these disadvantages are a problem for you, Metal Form Group can recommend a more suitable feeding unit for your needs.
