Zigzag feeder line--A new and precise efficient solution for processing circular pieces

Zigzag Feeder Line Maximizes Metal Sheet Utilization

The zigzag feeder line utilizes programmable swing mechanisms to dynamically adjust material feeding trajectories, matching complex contours of automotive brackets and electronic connector molds. By optimizing nesting layouts, it achieves up to 95% material utilization for irregular parts, directly translating to 15-20% raw material cost reduction in high-volume production. For example, in automotive sunroof rail manufacturing, the swing function reduces edge waste by 18% compared to linear feeding systems.

Precision Control for ±0.1mm Accuracy

Integrated with Mitsubishi servo motors and Renishaw encoders, the zigzag feeder line maintains feeding length accuracy within ±0.05mm and angular deviation below 0.1°, critical for micro-punching in electronics shielding case production. The built-in leveling module automatically corrects material warpage up to 3mm/m², ensuring consistent flatness for precision stamping dies. During refrigerator panel blanking trials, this system reduced dimensional rejects from 2.3% to 0.4% in 24/7 operations.

Multi-Thickness Processing Capacity

Adapting to materials ranging from 0.8mm thin aluminum for smartphone casings to 6mm thick galvanized steel for truck chassis, the zigzag feeder line supports 12-30m/min variable speeds via touchscreen presets. In mixed production environments, it seamlessly switches between washing machine drum steel (1.5mm) and automotive seat frames (4mm) without mechanical recalibration. The dual-channel lubrication system ensures smooth operation across all thickness grades.

5-Minute Mold Change System

HAIWEI’s hydraulic quick-release clamps enable single-operator mold swaps in ≤300 seconds, slashing changeover time by 75% versus traditional bolt-fastening methods. Precision alignment pins (H7/g6 tolerance) guarantee <0.05mm positional repeatability during transitions from microwave oven door panels to car battery trays. This feature supports JIT production of 20+ product variants daily in appliance factories.


99.5% Uptime with Alloy Roller Structure

Constructed with SKD11 alloy guide rollers (HRC62 hardness) and IP67-rated Siemens PLCs, the zigzag feeder line withstands 200-ton stamping impacts and 45°C workshop environments. Field data from 50+ automotive Tier 1 suppliers shows annual downtime <0.5% over 16-hour daily shifts. Modular design allows roller replacement in 15 minutes, maintaining <0.3mm/m linearity across 8-meter feeding paths.
