COE Press Equipment Corporation (Sterling Heights, MI) announced that it has shipped a new coil feeding line to Hudson Industries (Hudson, IN), a manufacturer of metal stampings for the automotive industry.
Commissioned to feed a new Eagle 400T progressive die press, the new coil handling and feeding line has a maximum coil width capacity of 36 in, coil weight capability up to 30,000 lb, and can process high strength steel at 55,000 psi yield strength with a thickness of 0.020 in, up to 0.187 in, depending upon material width.
The line features a CPRF-536 roll feed with #3 matte chrome rolls and a ServoMaster Controller that provides automatic passline height adjustment and roll pressure control through the Job Recipe Manager, helping to reduce set up time. It is housed in a heavy-duty cabinet base with a ±5 in height adjustment.
The line’s CPPS-406-36 power straightener has a 30 hp AC variable speed drive and digital control, digital upper straightener roll height indicators, #3 matte chrome pinch rolls and a Trabon automatic lubrication system. The straightener includes the company’s unique “Alligator” peeler de-kinker station that enables hands-free threading of the steel coil.
The accompanying CPR-300-36 coil reel has a hydraulic traveling coil car for effective coil staging and loading. Other features include fail-safe drag brake to prevent coil over-run, automatic drag brake compensation, and coil hold-down arm with motorized endwheel.
COE Press Equipment designs and manufactures a complete line of premiere coil handling and servo roll feed equipment from stand-alone roll feeds, straighteners, reels, cradles and air feeds to complete integrated feed line systems including the heaviest and widest coil feeding systems available for the metalstamping industry today.
