AP-510

The AP-510 Automatic Panel Feeder speeds up and facilitates material placement onto the front table of a panel saw or the infeed table of a wide belt sander.

Teaming-up your beam saw or panel sander with a feeding device improves productivity and helps reduce risk of injuries associated with handling heavy and cumbersome panels. The AP-510 Automatic Panel Feeder is designed to feed panels up to 5 feet wide by 10 feet long and stacks up to 45 inches high.

The Panel Feeder Comes Complete with:

» a 2 H.P. hydraulic power unit for efficient motorization of the hydraulic lift table, the rollers and the pusher arm.

» a 5,000 pound 5' x 10' hydraulic lift table with a roller conveyor. Three rollers are motorized and rollers are spaced 15" center to center.

» a hydraulically motorized pusher arm with longitudinal control for stroke length and vertical control for the desired number of panels to be fed.

» a rubber coated motorised roller to complete panel transfer onto the table.

» a control panel with PLC controller featuring a panel thickness selector (for up to 4 different thicknesses), a selector for the number of panels to be fed per feeding cycle and a counter adding up the number of panels fed through. All operations can be performed in manual or automatic mode as desired.
