Why the 3 in 1 Feeder Machine is the Best Choice for Thick Coil Feeding?

Jun. 13, 2025

The 3 in 1 feeder machine is a state of the art coil handling equipment designed to solve common challenges in metal stamping, especially when working with thick coil materials. It combines decoiling, leveling, and feeding into one compact system, reducing space requirements and increasing production automation in the stamping line.

This all in one NC servo feeder features a main machine frame, a material uncoiling section, and a precision straightening and feeding section. With intelligent design and automation control, it provides high-efficiency solutions for thick sheet metal feeding processes.


Advantages of the 3-in-1 Feeder Machine for Thick Coil Material

1. Simplified Operation & Reduced Setup Time

1.1 Traditional thick coil feeding systems often require separate uncoilers, straighteners, and feeders, making the setup labor-intensive and time-consuming. Multiple operators are usually needed to guide and insert the material, especially for high-tension materials.


1.2 The 3-in-1 NC feeder simplifies this entire workflow. By integrating all three functions, it dramatically reduces manual labor, shortens setup time, and minimizes operational complexity—leading to higher productivity and lower manufacturing costs.


2. Space-Saving Design for Optimized Plant Layout

Conventional coil feeding lines need “looping zones” between machines to manage material slack, which consumes valuable floor space. The 3-in-1 coil feeder eliminates these buffer zones thanks to its integrated structure. This compact footprint is ideal for manufacturers with limited workshop space or who need to optimize their production layout.


Core Features of the 3-in-1 Coil Feeder System

Feeding Section

1. Features a worm gear reducer and zero-backlash metal bellows coupling for precise transmission.

2. Gapless synchronized top and bottom rollers ensure high-accuracy feeding.

3. Encoder-based control system offers automatic compensation for over/under feeding.

4. Consistent performance with minimal feed deviation.


 Leveling Section

1. Straightening rollers made from hardened bearing steel, hard-chrome plated to HRC62+.

2. Adjustable reinforcement increases roller rigidity and stability.

3. Top rollers use dual-point micro-adjustment via worm gear for easy and precise pressure control.

4. Pneumatic eccentric release reacts quickly to signals from the press, ensuring accurate material positioning.


Uncoiler Section

1. Hydraulic expansion for automatic coil tension control.

2. Variable frequency speed control and one-way clutch prevent coil slack.

3. Photoelectric sensors enable automated decoiling.

4. Pneumatic material support and guide rails assist in smooth feeding into the leveler.


Conclusion

Whether you're processing high-tension steel, thick plate coils, or managing complex stamping jobs, the 3-in-1 feeder machine offers unmatched efficiency, compact design, and intelligent automation. It’s the ideal solution for modern manufacturers aiming to improve coil feeding automation, reduce labor, and maximize floor space utilization.
