Case Study: Seamless Coil Width Adjustment via Linear Ball Bushing Upgrade
The Challenge
A customer was having problems with setting up a Decoiler for the feeder on a press. The slide plates that set the coil width would not move smoothly and would jam. The decoiler originally was driven with air motors and acme rods on support shafts with bushings.
The Process
We reconfigured the unit to accept Linear Ball Bushings on hardened shafting to carry the side plates and designed a drive with the existing air drives with ball screws and nuts for smooth movement.
The Solution
The Decoiler after rebuild has smooth effortless independent movement on each plate so the set up for the coil in the unit can be done more accurately and much faster.
