Press Feed Line for Stamping Presses | American Steel Products, Toledo, USA

American Steel Products's Press Feed Line for Stamping Presses feeds metal strip from a coil through the die of a stamping press. It is linked electronically to an automatic feeder through a programmable logic controller (PLC).

Strip is uncoiled, passed through a roller straightener or flattener, then fed into the automatic feeder. A loop is normally formed before the press so the press can keep a constant number of strokes per minute.
