AIR FEEDER for automatic machines
AFA20A-NT / AFA20A-HR / AFA40A-NT / AFA40A-HR
This feeder is pneumatically driven and grip-type, suitable for hoop materials with irregularly shaped (preformed) or easily damaged.
The conventional integrated air feeder has been divided into three units, so that it can be used as a functional unit in any automatic machine.
This air feeder uses two clamps, one fixed and one movable, to alternately gripping the hoop material and feeding it by using the air cylinders.
Where, the fixed, movable clamps and feeding air cylinders are individually controlled to achieve flexible operation.
Two models are available, suitable for feeding small parts, with maximum material widths of 20mm and 40mm, respectively.
Features
Compact design and unitization make it small and light weight.
Flexible operation and configuration expands the design options for automatic machine.
Centralized control is possible from automatic machine.
Easy to incorporate into automatic lines such as automatic machines and molding machines.
Improved initial starting ability and heat resistance (100°C).
Reduced maintenance frequency.
Supports irregular shaped materials.

*. Values for accuracy of repeatability, release follow-on SPM and maximum SPM are from our in-house tests.
*. When feeding thin materials, the material may flexion and become difficult to feed. Please add a guide to support the material or use the pull-out feeding mode.
*. Power consumption is the value when three solenoid valves in the solenoid valve unit are turned on at the same time.
*. If the ambient temperature is below 8°C, please use an air dryer (Air Filter).
