What Is a Pneumatic Feeder?

A pneumatic feeder uses compressed air to alternately clamp and advance metal strip into a stamping press. Fixed and moving splints grip the strip, then advance it one step per press stroke. This simple mechanism produces reliable, repeatable feeding.

The AF Series suits small-to-medium stamping jobs with a fixed feed pitch. It offers an economical alternative to NC servo feeders when budget is the priority.

Key Features

Pneumatic Drive

Compressed-air power means simple structure and fast response. Maintenance stays minimal without a servo drive system.

Wide Range

Eleven width tiers serve narrow strip up to medium-wide stock. Thickness covers 0.5 to 3.0 mm.

Reliable Clamping

Alternate fixed and moving splints deliver slip-resistant feeding for stable batch runs.

Line Integration

Pair this pneumatic feeder with a decoiler and a straightener to feed any press. Upgrade to a servo NC feeder when higher precision or speed is required.

FAQ

How does a pneumatic feeder work?

Compressed air drives two splints that clamp and advance the strip by a fixed pitch each stroke.
