Dallas Industries (www.dallasindustries.com), a leading manufacturer of coil handling, press feeding equipment and controls for the stamping industry has announced that Lomanco, Jacksonville, AR has taken delivery of its third and fourth Dallas Industries feed lines. Lomanco is a premier manufacturer of residential ventilation products in the world.
The conventional lines, ideal for lighter gauge material, are 36 in. wide and rated for handling coil weights up to 8,000 lb. Each includes a coil reel with ability to payout from top and bottom of coil. The reels have an automatic adjusting brake with coil OD sensor to adjust brake pressure through job operation as the coil OD depletes. Each has a DPS-2.25-9-36 9 roll powered straightener with non-marking provisions for soft and/or cosmetic material.
They are fitted with Dallas’ SyncLoop technology, wherein the coil O.D. and loop depths are monitored and payout speeds adjusted based on a combination of the line speed average (from the feeder), coil O.D. size and loop depth settings. The units also have hand-crank adjusted edge guides, triple-roll edge guides with self-centering and independent adjustment for squaring soft and light gage materials. It also has an adjustable height cabinet. The line is a DRFP-336 servo feed with non-marking provisions for soft and/or cosmetic material.
The lines are built on an Allen-Bradley, Ethernet-based control architecture and feature ProfileSelect™, a unique feed control system that is exclusively available through Dallas Industries. It uses a cam-motion (sinusoidal) profile. This smooth profile results in a feed motion that utilizes 100 percent of the press feed window, reducing stress on the material and the feed’s mechanical components.
Dallas Industries’ full line of products includes conventional and compact coil feed lines, as well as servo feeds, heavy-duty straighteners and coil handling equipment.
