Zig-Zag Feeder

Optimize Material Efficiency with Zig-Zag Servo Feeders
In high-volume blanking operations, material waste is one of the highest hidden costs. PRESTON Zig-Zag Servo Feeders are specifically engineered to minimize scrap by utilizing advanced lateral (two-axis) movement. By optimizing the layout of circular blanks on the coil, our systems can reduce material waste by up to 22%.

Particularly for defense industry applications, such as the production of ammunition base plates or casing blanks, our zig-zag feeders provide the extreme precision required for continuous, high-speed production.

Technical Advantages:

Dual-Axis Servo Control: High-speed lateral and longitudinal movement synchronized perfectly with the press stroke.

Maximized Coil Utilization: Advanced software algorithms calculate the tightest possible nesting for circular parts.

User-Friendly Interface: Easy programming for different diameters and pitch patterns via an intuitive touch-screen PLC.

Robust Construction: Heavy-duty rollers and high-torque servo motors ensure long-term reliability in 24/7 manufacturing environments.

Stop throwing away your profits. Upgrade your blanking line with PRESTON’s Zig-Zag Feeding technology and start saving on every stroke.
