OPTIONS

  •            Material slitting mechanism to automatically cut wedge material to desired width.  Material width to be at least 3.2 mm (0.125 inches) greater than desired final width.

  • ·     Second material supply.

  • ·     Skewed armatures are accommodated with machine set at an angle to material handling.

  • ·      IC-2000 Industrial Computer Control System.

  • ·     Variable cut length feature using servo motor.

  • ·      Lamination stack heights preset in touch screen under part number.

 

 

TOOLING 

  •           Tooling to accommodate most insulating materials including rag, paper, laminates, mylar or other similar plastic materials and laminates.  Thicker materials require custom designs.

  •      Tooling consisting of lift chuck, upper and lower form rolls, wedge cavity, nose piece, ram, drift, and knife assembly.

  •      Tooling designed to provide wedge material formed to precisely fit the contour of the lamination.
