New SpeedFeeders for up to 240 kg

AP&T has produced a SpeedFeeder to accommodate weights up to 240 kg, and it was specially developed for press hardening lines. SpeedFeeder 240 feeds parts between the furnace and the press, and it is particularly suitable for applications with heavy grippers.

"This is a robust solution that also satisfies our customers' needs in terms of effectively performing heavy lifting and moving. SpeedFeeder 240 is fundamentally designed to match our furnace concept – Multilayer Furnace – where several furnace modules are stacked on top of each other. This requires a great deal of lifting capacity," says Per Arne Mattsson, Product Supervisor at AP&T Advanced Automation.

SpeedFeeder 240 is the first of several products based on a new standardized module system. The program also includes SpeedFeeder 130, and it will also eventually be possible to produce monobars and transfer feeders for demanding tasks with the same modules.

"This is the same idea we have been implementing with our smaller SpeedFeeders for quite some time. By using standard parts, we can quickly produce a reliable and cost-efficient solution for every customer. We have moved up to a new weight class with the new program."
