A zigzag servo feeder moves the strip in a programmed zigzag pattern so that circular or shaped blanks can be stamped with minimal scrap. It is used for producing motor laminations, washers, cover plates and other round stampings from steel or aluminum coil. Matches press stroke rates up to 1,000 SPM while maintaining consistent pitch accuracy. Servo or mechanical indexing keeps strip advancement within tight tolerances for quality parts. Tool-less roller gap and feed-length adjustments reduce changeover time between jobs. Hardened rollers and sealed bearings are built for continuous production environments.

Zigzag Feeder Models in Production
Zigzag feeder moving strip in programmed pattern for circle blanking Steel strip exits the decoiler or straightener and enters the feeder. Hardened rollers or grippers clamp the material. A servo motor or mechanical cam advances the strip an exact pitch length, releases, and returns while the press performs the stamping cycle. Widths, inner and outer diameters, drive types and options are engineered to the customer's specifications. Tell our engineers your requirements for a drawing-based quotation. Matches press stroke rates up to 1,000 SPM while maintaining consistent pitch accuracy. Servo or mechanical indexing keeps strip advancement within tight tolerances for quality parts. Tool-less roller gap and feed-length adjustments reduce changeover time between jobs. Hardened rollers and sealed bearings are built for continuous production environments. Progressive-die parts for chassis, brackets and seat frames. Tiny pitch terminals, pins and shielding strips. Washing-machine drums, refrigerator shelves and metal cabinets. Chair bases, table legs and shelving brackets from coil strip. Material is guided into the feeder from the upstream coil line. Rollers or grippers clamp and advance the strip by the programmed pitch. The press stamps while the feeder holds position. Feeder releases and returns to the start position for the next cycle. Cycle repeats at press speed for continuous production. Feeder production floor Zigzag feeder side view Feeder integrated in press line FANTY designs and builds decoilers, feeders and straighteners in-house, so you talk directly to the maker. Every unit is tested before packing; photos and video of your actual machine can be shared for approval. Export packing protects the machine for ocean freight and reduces the risk of transit damage. Our team answers technical questions before purchase and supports installation and spares afterwards. Our feeders work with mechanical, hydraulic and servo presses. We match the feeder drive type and interface to your press model. Mechanical roll feeders reach up to 800 SPM. Servo feeders can exceed 1,000 SPM depending on strip length and thickness. Servo feeders achieve ±0.05 mm. Gripper feeders reach ±0.03 mm for thin materials. Roll feeders are typically ±0.1 mm. NC servo feeders handle 0.2–6.0 mm. Roll feeders suit 0.3–3.2 mm. Gripper feeders are ideal for 0.1–1.5 mm. Servo feeders use a touch-screen HMI with stored job recipes. Mechanical feeders synchronize through a press crank or flywheel linkage. Monthly lubrication of rollers and cam, quarterly belt tension check, and annual bearing inspection. We supply a maintenance schedule with each machine. Tell us your requirements. The FANTY engineering team will reply with a recommended configuration and a quotation.
