For short strokes and fast working cycles, e.g. on
high-speed presses in mass production in the precision, electrical, and watchmaking industries.
Feed units can be used to push in front of the tool or
to pull behind the tool, operating from right to left
in each case. Proper functioning is ensured in each
mounting position.

Operating Instructions
for pneumatic feed units
type
BV-50-
marking groove on the clamping gripper indicates the
centre of the clamping plate. The guide rollers (1)
are provided for lateral guidance and must be set to
the appropriate strip width. Make sure that they run
freely. With open clamping grippers, it is possible to
transport material which exceeds the width of the
feed unit.

de
The housing of the feed unit has 4 fastening holes (10)
and is attached on the press table with socket head
cap screws to the tool or to an attachment angle. It
is advisable to attach the unit such that it can be vertically adjusted in order that the strip entry can at all
times be adjusted to the tool.
Material adjustment
With strips less than 30 mm wide, it must be ensured
that the strip is guided over the centre of the clamping piston (18) and is aligned with the tool centre. A

If strip or tape material is to be inserted against the
length stop, it is advisable to incorporate a further
hand slide valve into line P 1 for exhausting the grippers (Figs.
1
and 2, item 25).

To obtain the optimum cycling frequency, the control
line between valves 20 and 21 should not exceed
two metres in the pneumatic control (Fig. I). The
control signal for valve 20 can be obtained linearly or
rotary as required. With linear pick-up, an adjustable
control rail must be mounted on the press ram. With
press strokes over 15 mm, only rotary signal pick-up
is possible.
In general, the rotary type of signal pick-up is to be
preferred. This usually allows one to avoid resetting
of the control rail if tools are changed.
With both types of control, the timing of the pulse
output for the feed should be selected such that the
rams have wiped off and the tape is freely located in
the tool. The feed should be completed no later than
30’
after upper dead centre.
Example:
Pneumatic control
The solenoid valve (Fig. 2. item 20) obtains its reversal
pulse from an electrical limit switch.
Reverse control (if feed unit is to operate in the
opposing direction)
Reversal of the feed direction and opposite starting position of the slide: interchange connections
C and D.
Reversal of feed direction with same starting position of the slide: interchange connections A and B.
Reversed starting position of the slide with same
feed direction: interchange connections A and B
and also C and D on the feed unit housing.
The grippers can be shifted through
180°
such that the
opening is on the opposite side. To do this, the
socket head cap screws (7, front side) must be
slackened.

Tools with catch pins
Where cycling rate and ram stroke permit, it is possible to momentarily exhaust the holding grippers
with tools having catch pins (locating pin, pilots). A

A service unit type FRC must befitted on the upstream
side of the entire control system. With this unit, the
compressed air is cleaned, regulated to constant
pressure (6 bar), and provided with a fine oil mist
lubricating purposes. The bearing bushes of the feed
brace must be lubricated from time to time by means
of lubricating nipple (II).

factors, mostly stroke and load. In the diagram, the
upper range for each type represents the attainable
cycling frequency at low load, and the lower range
represents the attainable cycling frequency at high
load.
To attain the upper limit, time-leading control is ad-
visable.
A fitted advance movement cushioning arrangement
allows optimum balancing of stroke, cycle rate, and
mass.
