The Formtek Group, Itasca, IL, has debuted a host of new roll-feed controls. One Formtek company, Cooper-Weymouth, Peterson, Clinton, ME, has introduced the ServoMax III feed control system, available on Cooper-Weymouth, Peterson and Rowe Machinery two-roll and four-roll feed systems. The ServoMax III delivers enhanced features such as increased job memory to 999, increased torque output for capacity or increased production requirements. It provides accuracy to +-0.002-in. roll position, and its absolute positioning feedback logic avoids accumulate error in continuous cycling, which is critical in close-tolerance, nonpiloted blanking runs. Standard features include pneumatic pilot release, precision gear-driven rolls and user-friendly control programming. Optional features include high-speed pneumatic roll lift to 250 strokes/min. or servo-pneumatic roll lift to 400 strokes/min. The control system also can be adapted to most existing servo-driven roll feeders.
