Cutting Edge Technology
Press Feeds
The Variax V Series is a high-performance, cam-actuated variable roll feed that uses fan-shaped sector rolls and four cam mechanisms. It offers unparalleled accuracy and convenient design features for ease of operation and use. Numerous technical innovations have made the V Series the choice feeder for stamping lines all over the world for more than 20 years since its inception. Innovations such as dual-driven rolls, parallelism adjustment for the rolls and brake, and an absolute digital counter for precise feed pitch display are just a few examples. Sankyo has also developed newer models that are even easier to operate and handle while meeting specific needs, such as wide stock handling ability and advanced functionality.
The Variax VG Series is a coil feeder for presses that delivers high precision and speed. It can be used for a variety of feeding conditions, such as for irregularly shaped or soft material and in applications that call for micro-pitch feeding and ultra-high-speed feeding.
The Variax VGX Series is a coil feeder for presses that inherits the high level of accuracy of our top-selling VG Series. Material thickness, feed pitch, and release timing are easy to adjust, even during operation.
The Variax OPUS series is a high-performance servo roll feed that is perfect for use in motor core production lines for hybrid, PHEV, and EV car motors along with other applications requiring high line speeds. By integrating a high-capacity servo motor and roll into one body, it achieves world-class performance. The driving servo motor’s motion profile follows a unique Sankyo developed cam curve for optimal dynamic performance. A servo motor and cam curve motion profile are also used to control the vertical roll motion for the release mechanism, allowing the OPUS series to feed thin and soft materials. The controller in the OPUS series is equipped with a large monitor and included many diagnostic functions. It offers IoT (Internet of Things) preventive maintenance and diagnosis, as well as good operability.
