As manufacturers demand higher quality components from their
suppliers, handling of raw material feedstock becomes critical. In
the stamping process, that means feeding the coil into the press
has to be accomplished with greater emphasis on:
•Speed
Shunt
Resister
•Flexibility of coil sizes
•Faster changeover

Rockwell Automation’s FeederPro is avaiable as a range of
solutions, from a pre-engineered bundle of hardware for small
press feeds through turnkey systems for the largest flat metal line
processing systems.
Reliability is Designed into the Solution
The Rockwell Automation FeederPro system provides a reliable
solution for press feeders based upon standard, off-the-shelf
Allen-Bradley components. The system provides a press feed
controller that uses familiar configuration and troubleshooting
tools on the ControlLogix family of controllers. Built-in set-up
routines and diagnostics make the FeederPro easy for your press
room operators and maintenance personnel to run and
troubleshoot the system by themselves, maximizing their
productivity and reducing the downtime of the feeder system. The
STF Pro application software provides the commands to the drives;
This enables the system to closely follow the motions of the
press.
Results - A Smooth Operator
The FeederPro system uses the Rockwell Automation
SmoothProfile™ press feed profile to smoothly accelerate and
decelerate the feed rolls. This approach dramatically reduces roll
slippage and virtually eliminates material marking. The FeederPro
system is available as a pre-engineered bundle of engineering
and components or as a completely assembled and tested control
system.
