The feeding rails and the vibratory feeder also have the motorisation

“A special design has been made for RP220 in order to make the machine very compact and to reduce the space requirements and to permit a shorter commissioning time,” explains SACMA. The blanks are separated at the feed point by an iovative stop system that positions the workpiece on three points before it is placed between the dies.

The enclosure also rests directly on the base to ensure that all liquids circulating in the machine are contained and collected to make the RP220 eco-friendly.

The feeding rails and the vibratory feeder also have the motorisation of the height positioning to facilitate the adjustment. This new type of drive with epicyclical reduction gear provides and favours higher torque and precision, and the clutch brake guarantees the speedy stop of the machine and the safety of the operator.

The most iovative RP220 feature is the brand new starter unit. Working in parallel with the insertion punch, the screw stop plate also stops the next blank from passing to prevent double insertion.
