Manesa Takes Delivery on Two Feed Lines from Dallas Industriesâ„¢
Troy, MI — Dallas Industries™ (www.dallasindustries.com), a leading manufacturer of coil handling, press feeding equipment and controls for the stamping industry has delivered two new UnderLoop SpaceSaver™ feed lines to Manufacturas Estampadas S.A. de C.V. (Manesa), Chihuahua, Mexico, a leader in the manufacture of metal parts.
The two UnderLoop press feeding lines are both designed to run steel up to approx. 4mm thick, up to 36 in. wide and are rated for coils up to 6,000 lb.
One line is a servo feed with piloting pull thru straightener with load car. The other is a cut-to-length line with a production hydraulic shear, servo feed with pull thru straightener with no load car.
A Dallas UnderLoop SpaceSaver servo feed line design consists of a hands-free threading system featuring a servo-driven synthetic tension roll for maintaining proper coil tension while uncoiling. The UnderLoop system also incorporates a lower pivoting table with a feeder/straightener mounted rocker arm/de-bender for easy coil threading.
The uncoiler includes powered coil guide rolls that eliminate the need for slide-on coil keepers and, optionally, can automatically center the coil on the mandrel.
Dallas Industries UnderLoop lines normally require less than 20 feet of floor space. To enhance setup time, the feeder passline height, edge guides, and coil guide rolls for on the uncoiler can all be optionally added to automatically adjust to positions stored in the job recipe.
Manufacturas Estampadas S.A. de C.V. (Manesa), founded in 1988 by a Belgian engineer, and strategically located in Chihuahua, Mexico, is an organization certified on ISO/ TS 16949. Their leadership style is the result of integrating European and Mexican managerial principles.
