October 2013 - Hadaya Engg & Metal Services of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, recently installed a Red Bud Industries’ .118 in. (3 mm) x 60 in. (1524 mm) x 45,000 lb (20,412 kg) precision blanking line.
Featured in the line is Red Bud’s dual motor precision grip feed. The grip feed system gives Hadaya the capability of producing blanks with length tolerances of +.005 in. (.127 mm). The line includes Red Bud’s high speed hydraulic shear and three side blank support drop stacker. The drop stacker mounts directly to the back of the shear, which allows material to enter the drop stacker before shearing. Once the material is sheared, it drops straight down onto the waiting stack table.
The new line is composed of a coil lift, uncoiled, peeler breaker, dual cassette six high roller leveler, pop-Up flatness table, thread system, dual motor grip feed system, shear, drop stacker, automatic lowering stack table, end discharge rollouts, and pallet loader.
