BROCHURE | AP - Automatic Panel Feeder
  • The AP Automatic Panel Feeder is designed to feed panels up to 4 or 5 feet wide by 8, 10, 12 or 16 feet long onto any receiving unit;
  • Feeding from right to left OR from left to right;
  • Safety perimeter and controlled access.

THE AUTOMATIC PANEL FEEDER COMES COMPLETE WITH:

  • An hydraulic power unit for efficient motorization of the hydraulic lift table and the rollers;
  • A 5,000 lb hydraulic lift table with a roller conveyor. Three rollers are motorized; rollers are at 15" center to center;
  • An hydraulic motorized pusher arm with longitudinal control for stroke length and vertical control for the desired number of panels to be fed;
  • A control panel with PLC controller featuring a panel thickness selector (for up to four different thicknesses), a selector for the number of panels to be fed per feeding cycle, and a counter adding up the number of panels fed through. All operations can be performed in manual or automatic mode, as desired;
  • An input in the PLC is prepared for "Authorization to feed" to insure the next machine is in operation before pushing a panel.
  • Electric powered pusher arm instead of hydraulic (required for high speed feeding applications as this option allows to increase pusher arm return speed to reduce cycle time per panel);
  • Pusher arm with manual adjustable thickness (required when feeding multiple panels per stroke in beam saw feeding application);
  • Pusher arm with adjustable thickness using the HMI interface (required when feeding multiple panels per stroke in beam saw feeding application);
  • Beam saw interface featuring 4' idler roller conveyor;
  • Thin sheet loading singulator for panel between 1/8" and 1/4;
  • Gangrip saw pre-alignment roller conveyor with lateral pneumatic pusher;
  • Thickness selector from operator interface;
  • Material thickness;
  • Pallet or dummy sheet thickness offset with pallet or dummy sheet;
  • E-won connection module for remote trouble shooting and programming changes capability using Ethernet.
