Function: FEED

Automated Press Sheet Feeders or Sheet De-Stackers from Union Tool.

Many machines in this category are called de-stackers as well as feeders since the job of a sheet feeder is to take sheets one at a time from a supply (usually, a stack) and feed the sheets into the infeed side of a processing machine or conveyor line.

Here are a few samples that illustrate the FEED function in action:

New to Union Tool's Engineered Wood Flooring Lamination line is our Dual-Lane Core Feeder.

NEW! DUAL LANE CORE FEEDER - New to our Engineered Wood Flooring Lamination line is the Union Dual-Lane Core Feeder. This machine is designed to automatically feed two stacks of plywood cores up to 12" wide into our Union Hot Melt Roller Coater. Feeder incorporates two independent lanes, which feed separately on demand.

Automatic Feeder/Roller Coater from Union Tool is designed to destack and feed aluminum round blanks into a Roller Coater and apply lubricant to both sides.

AUTOMATIC FEEDER/ROLLER COATER (SO16777) - Designed to destack and feed aluminum round blanks into a Roller Coater and apply lubricant to both sides. A “thumper” cylinder rapidly taps the blank to insure only one is fed into the coater. The lubricant roller coater features “Deburring” rolls in front to flatten the blank edges before being coated, prolonging the life of the rubber coating rolls.

Union Tool Sheet Feeder PB12987 is specifically designed to automatically destack, align and feed steel sheets.

UNION SHEET FEEDER (PB12987) - Specifically designed to automatically destack, align and feed steel sheets. The feeder will feed sheets ranging in sizes from 20" to 44" wide and 60" to 76" long with thicknesses varying from .050" to .125". A complete stack can be a maximum of 16" high and weigh up to 8,000 pounds. Cycle time is a maximum of five sheets per minute.

This very large feeder from Union Tool is for steel sheets and plates has a 30,000 pound hydraulic lift table.

STEEL PLATE & SHEET FEEDER (PB8582)- This very large feeder for steel sheets and plates has a 30,000 pound hydraulic lift table. This machine can de-stack and feed steel sheets from 24"x24"x16" gauge up to steel plates 72"x240" thick.

This Union Tool Steel Blank Sheet Feeder destacks and loads steel blanks onto a feed table, such as for an automatic CNC punch machine.

STEEL BLANK SHEET FEEDER (PB7044) - This Union Tool Steel Blank Sheet Feeder destacks and loads steel blanks onto a feed table, such as for an automatic CNC punch machine. It features precision placement of the blank to within 1/16" (0.0625", 1.5875mm)

Sheet foam feeder from Union Tool simplifies and automates the process of destacking foam sheets and feeding them one at a time to a conveyor.

SHEET FOAM FEEDER (PB3647) - The programmable Union Tool Sheet Foam Feeder simplifies and automates the process of de-stacking foam sheets and feeding them one at a time to a conveyor. Handles foam sheets 4 feet wide and up to 16 feet long, as line feed speeds up to 100 feed per minute.

AUTOMATIC PRESS BLANK FEEDER / COATER / FEEDER FOR LARGER STEEL BLANKS

AUTOMATIC PRESS BLANK FEEDER / COATER / FEEDER FOR LARGER STEEL BLANKS (PB11387) The special aspect to this unit is the ability of the feed stroke of the feed head to be programmed for the sheet size. The feed head also has a built-in side motion that can move the blank left or right so the dual motion of x-y can locate the blanks against the locating pins in the die. The PLC and touch screeen allows for easy operator set-up and monitoring. Cycle time is variable based on press speed.

This special return feed conveyor can be adapted to any new Union Tool roller coater.

RETURN FEED CONVEYOR for Roller Coaters (PB2039) - This special conveyor can be adapted to any new Union Tool roller coater. One person can handle both infeed and outfeed, thanks to a unique slanted conveyor that accepts the work piece as it is fed through the roll coater, then drops down to return the finished piece to the operator and retracts to the start position to accept the next piece. A unique approach to manual feed operations.

This automated sheet feeder from Union Tool accepts a stack of metal sheets or blanks and feeds them one at a time to a conveyor line or a processing machine.

AUTOMATIC METAL SHEET FEEDER (PB15181) - This automated sheet feeder accepts a stack of metal sheets or blanks and feeds them one at a time to a conveyor line or a processing machine. The infeed stack is automatically indexed up to the correct pass line height as each sheet is fed.

Metal Sheet Vacuum Feeder from Union Tool feeds metal sheets one at a time from an integrated lift table carrying a stack of sheets weighing as much as a ton.

METAL SHEET VACUUM FEEDER (PB14993) - Feeds metal sheets one at a time from an integrated lift table carrying a stack of sheets weighing as much as a ton. The lift table indexes the sheet stack to pass line height, magnetic sheet fanners separate each sheet, and vacuum cups transfer the sheets to the conveyor.

This automated vacuum sheet feeder from Union Tool accepts a stack of wood, plastic or metal sheets and feeds them one at a time to a conveyor line or a processing machine.

AUTOMATIC VACUUM SHEET FEEDER (PB401) - This automated vacuum sheet feeder accepts a stack of wood, plastic or metal sheets and feeds them one at a time to a conveyor line or a processing machine. The infeed stack is automatically indexed up to the correct pass line height as each sheet is fed.

A combination metal blank de-stacker, drawing compound coater, and blank feeder all in one machine makes the Union Tool Press Blank Feeder Coater a natural for metalforming and metal stamping operations.

PRESS BLANK FEEDER COATER (PB15093) - A combination metal blank de-stacker, drawing compound coater, and blank feeder all in one machine makes the Union Tool Press Blank Feeder Coater a natural for metalforming and metal stamping operations.

This heavy-duty feeder from Union Tool  is actually a dual station de-stacker that accepts a pair of 150-sheet stacks of steel and feeds them into a forming machine a sheet at a time using vacuum cups to lift the sheets up to pass height, and then feeding them into the former through a set of heavy pinch rollers.

PINCH ROLL FEEDER (PB17406) - This heavy-duty feeder is actually a dual station de-stacker that accepts a pair of 150-sheet stacks of steel and feeds them into a forming machine a sheet at a time using vacuum cups to lift the sheets up to pass height, and then feeding them into the former through a set of heavy pinch rollers.
