December 27, 2019

Pentaflex, Springfield, OH, has taken delivery of a new Dallas Industries UnderLoop SpaceSaver servo feed line, Model DRFHDS-648. Pentaflex is a contract manufacturer of metal stampings and assemblies specializing in heavy-gauge and highly formed components, with primary focus on the medium-duty and Class 8 truck market. Dallas Industries is a Troy, MI-based manufacturer of coil handling and press feeding equipment, and controls for the stamping industry.

The new line runs steel and aluminum to 0.187 in. thick and 48 in. wide, and to 0.312 in. thick and 12 in. wide, and is rated for coils to 30,000 lb. It has 6-in. rolls and a pull-through straightener with 4-in.-dia. rolls and requires only 21 ft. of floor space. To enhance setup time, the feeder passline height, edge guides and coil guide rolls for centering the coil on the uncoiler are automatically adjusted to position.
