Automatic power feeders for woodworking machine

To ensure efficient and safe operation, woodworking machines (milling, planing, thicknessing and others) use power feeders that are mounted on the work table. Woodworking Power Feeders greatly facilitate the operator’s work and reduce the risk of industrial injuries. You can buy such devices in the Stancomplect online store.

Power feeder for a machine: design features and dimensional settings

The removable automatic power feeder consists of the following main parts:

1. Rigid design bracket with a vertical stand, traverse, screw clamps and handles for adjustment;
2. Feeding mechanism - it combines into one block:
3. Three-phase electric motor;
4. Chain reducer;
5. Spring loaded rollers with rubber coating.

Thanks to the large number of degrees of freedom, it is possible to adapt the power feeder to a milling or other woodworking machine that does not have its own feeder.

Adjusting the position of the pressure rollers to the thickness of the material being processed and changing their angle of inclination is done by lightly rotating the handles on the bracket.

Operating principle of the power feeder

The automatic woodworking power feeders has a simple operating principle. The rollers capture the material being processed, which is manually fed by the operator, and, rotating, move it towards the cutting element. Precise positioning of the workpiece is ensured by guides or a copy stop.

The feed speed of the workpiece can be adjusted using the switch on the top panel, and if it is necessary to move in the opposite direction, you need to turn on the reverse mode.

Benefits of using an power feeders

Using an power feeder for woodworking machines allows you to:

• reduce physical stress on the operator;
• increase labor safety, since the operator does not need to keep his hands close to the cutting element;
• reduce the percentage of defects in work due to uniform supply of material;
• increase productivity without compromising the quality of processing by selecting the optimal feed speed.

Type of power feeders

Woodworking power feeders come in different types and may differ:

1. Purpose:
   • universal, designed to work with most types of through-type machines (such devices are presented in our catalogue);
   • specialized - they can be used with machines of a certain type (vertical milling, jointing, circular saws and others);
   • special, for example for curved workpieces.
2. Number of feed rollers and speeds;
3. The presence of a pipe for connection to aspiration systems, as in models MX48 and SF48 from CO-MATIC.

Features of choosing devices for automatic feeding

To select an power feeder, you must consider:

• machine type and dimensions;
• dimensions of the power feeder and feeding mechanism;
• number of clamping elements, their type (finger, roller), dimensions and material of manufacture;
• the ability to rotate the feed mechanism relative to the table surface, if required by the processing technology.
