Pneumatic feeders

Automatization of stamping process

 why ...
Control by mechanical valve directly from an actuating plug on the die
or press ram. Remote control by the press cam available on demand.

Easy feeding speed adjustment

Herrblitz can customize the feeders for every production need!

Thin-thread screw for quick

adjustment of the feeding

Front and rear hardened shock

Lateral strip guides, hardened

The stop block is fixed to the guides by a system with patented Lower and upper hardened rolls to facilitate
semi-spherical centering holes.This solution does not weaken the strip introduction and to grant smooth
the guides which must withstand millions of shocks material feeding

When a company begins to assemble a stamping line, usually the feeder is the last item that they will
think about.
Their attention is focused on the choice of the press, on the manufacturing of the die set and its
perfecting in order to aim to a high quality production.
But when it comes the moment to consider how to feed the material, it is very important not to make
mistakes and to choose the suitable feeder.
Given the complex manufacturing of a die set, it is wrong to try to save money when choosing the
feeder. In fact, the productivity rates, the quality of your products and the amount of wasted material
will depend on the feeder.
Multi feeding with separate clamping pressure for each strip or wire
….this is the reason to buy a feeder with the following features:

•S  trong and rigid structure, but also compact, so that it can be installed as close as possible to the die set. This is a very important
feature, especially in case of thin strips and progressive dies. It also helps to save space in the working area.
•A  ccurate, since high quality of the final products demands accuracy, and also to increase the die set durability. Accuracy is granted by the
presence of shock absorbers at the end of strokes and also by the great care which is put in the manufacturing of the mechanical parts.
•L  ow cost: low price for the purchase and low expenses during production. Thanks to the simple effect concept, Herrblitz feeders have a
50% reduced air consumption rates than other feeders.
•S  imple to use and to install: two screws are all that’s needed to fix it to the die set or to the press support. You will only need to have a
compressed air line for working. Feeders with mechanical actuation don’t even need cams on the press: the movement of the die itself
actuates the feeder!
• Manufactured to have the longest durability and lowest rates of wear, even in presence of humidity in the compressed air. All sliding
components are hardened or hard-chrome-plated. Pistons are in stainless steel with high mechanical resistance. The cylinder liners are in
hard brass to avoid oxidation problems in presence of humidity in the air. There is no part working in direct contact with the main aluminum
body, but rather each part is positioned in suitable housings for easy and quick replacement.
•E  asy maintenance: Herrblitz feeders are conceived for rapid maintenance. A feeder can be removed from the die, have all gasket
replaced and be installed back in line in less than an hour.
•C  ustomized accessories for every production need: available for purchase a vast choice of guiding accessories for thin and delicate
strips, of accessories for feeding profiles and stamped strips, wires, pipes, and material of every kind. Special clamps for shaped strips Feeding of bicycle chain

thanks to a handle device. This system is used when you must perform profiles punching operations, and especially, in case of small stamping productions. In these
situations, the customer will prefer to purchase the material in bars and not in coils in order to save money.
In this case it is required to install 2 feeders: one before the press, pushing the material into the tool, and another one at the press exit,
to pull out the last part of the material.
The feeding synchronization is always granted since both feeders are equipped with remote control by electric valves, actuated by the
same cam on the press.
