Pneumatic Indexer with RF Press and Material Relaxer & Roll Holding Stand

Pneumatic & Mechanical Indexers are used widely in the manufacture of card holders, sheet protectors, CD page holders, menu holders, and other products where material can be pulled directly off the roll. When used in combination with Material Relaxer & Roll Stands, Over/Under Progressive Plates, Material Guides and RF sealing machines, the Indexer is part of an automated inline system. Mechanical Indexers are designed specifically for processes employing pre-printed material from a roll or requiring index accuracy within 0.002". An Optical Sensor is used to adjust for varying index lengths common with pre-printed material.

Standard Features Stroke length: Standard adjustable up to 36" Stroke Material width: Standard 24" maximum width Integrates with most all RF Heatsealing Machines Index speed of 2seconds per 36" stroke length Pneumatic Indexer uses a 2-1/2" bore cylinder to provide an index length accurate & repeatable within 0.03" Mechanical Indexer uses a stepper motor to provide an index length accurate & reapeatable within 0.002" Mechanical Indexer comes with PLC control and operator input screen Shipping weight is approximately 350lbs prior to crating

Optional Features Available with widths up to 36" & stroke lengths up to 54" Pneumatic Indexer available with PLC control for system integration with Hot Stamp Presses, Silk Screeners, etc. Pneumatic Indexer available with Shear Cut-off

Shuttles Production Rate: Manual Shuttles are dependent upon the operator. Speed Feed Shuttles are capable of 450 cycles/hour @ 6 sec press cycle Operators: Light/Heavy Duty Shuttles - Dual Operators Front-to-Back Shuttle - Single Operator Speed Feed - Single Operator

Pricing: Light/Heavy Duty Shuttles: Pricing starts under $4,500.00 USD Front-to-Back Shuttle: Pricing starts under $3,000.00 USD Speed Feed Shuttle: Pricing starts under $10,000.00 USD

Shuttles are used extensively for large, hard to handle products and for short runs requiring multi-part assemblies. Shuttles allow materials to be accurately placed in holding fixtures prior to insertion in a press.

Light Duty - Rail Drop Light Duty Shuttles are commonly used in applications where the total weight of the carriage & tooling is less than 100lbs. The Light Duty Shuttles operate by cylinders mounted to the shuttle rails lowering the carriage onto the press bedplate.	Heavy Duty - Carriage Drop Heavy Duty Shuttles are commonly used in applications requiring large nesting or tooling fixtures placed on the carriage. The Heavy Duty Shuttles operate by cylinders on the carriage lowering the carriage onto the press bedplate.
Standard Features Sizes: Made-To-Fit press bedplate Standard press bedplate sizes up to 60" x 144" Available with In-Position Limit Switches to minimize possible tooling damage due to tooling misalignment Side-To-Side Shuttle available in single and double carriage models Available with pneumatic or mechanical driven carriages Available with PLC for full system integration	Light Duty Shuttle with RF Press Side-to-Side, Dual Carriage

Over/Under "Speed Feed" Shuttles The Over/Under "Speed Feed" is a dual carriage, single operator shuttle integrated with the press cycle to provide the highest productivity rate of any of the in-line shuttles. The carriages travel over/under each other into the press thereby providing a low floor profile. The shuttle action is performed by a pneumatic powered mechanism. Used extensively in the production of carpeting, looseleaf binders and multi-layer products.

Front-to-Back Shuttles Front-to-Back Shuttles are an inexpensive solution to accurately locating materials for short-run productions. The Front-to-Back Shuttle operates by cylinders mounted to the shuttle rails that lower the carriage onto the press bedplate.

Motorized Unwinds & Rewinds

Motorized Unwinds & Rewinds are typically provided with dancing roll constant tensioners and expanding air shafts. The Unwinds & Rewinds are specificly designed per the customers application specifications. A programmable controller integrates the system components.

Material Relaxer & Roll Holding Stand

The Material Relaxer & Roll Holder Stand provides a reliable method for pulling material from rolls, aligning the material with a downstream press and ridgidly clamping the material while the press is down. Used mostly in conjunction with our Pnuematic & Mechanical Indexers. Features: Material Rolls: 5 Roll Holders Material Roll Capacity: Standard 24" wide x 17" diameter Relaxed Material Length: Standard 36" Length Available with Material Roll Widths up to 60" wide Relaxed Lengths up to 72" Includes Leveling Pads for Adjustable Clamp Height Shipping weight is approximately 180lbs prior to crating

Material Guides Material Guides provide alignment of material on the inlet and outlet of the press. Guides can be made adjustable for rapid setup or fixed width for greater accuracy. Our standard material guides are capable of handling four film layers and aligning widths up to 24 inches. Made-to-order guide assemblies are easily provided.

Over/Under Progressive Plates Used solely for Inline multi-stage sealed products such as multi-pocketed sheets and zipper pouches.
