Feed System

The continuous Nylon Belt Conveyor traveling through press, is utilized as a material carrier and cutting surface, transported by a rear-mounted motor combined with a clamp feed unit. Pneumatic Clamp Feed mounted on rear of press set to operate automatically in conjunction with cutting cycle.

Clamp Feed complete with one (1) movable pneumatically actuated clamp bar with linear bearing guide (for a maximum feeding distance of approximately 63” roll material in one movement); one (1) pneumatically actuated fixed clamp bar with controls, and both clamps equipped with stop mechanism to control closing position so that material is not crushed.

Out feed belt length is approximately 40″ and is completely guarded. The guarding is made of aluminum frame with 1’ mesh guarding, which allows the operator a clear vision of the cutting area.
