PNEUMATIC FEEDERS



MODULAR SOUNDPROOFING BOX FOR AN - ANM FEEDER
As the result of several years of studies and tests G.P.A. presents a modular soundproofing box with good efficiency at reasonable costs.
Together with a high noise reduction the main characteristic is the unit composed construction which allows the complete handling by one operator only. The noise reduction which can now be achieved is shown in the graphic herebelow where the reference level (O dBA) is the feeder without soundproof. Noise levels are at one meter on the lateral side.



TEST CONDITIONS
feeder type AN 150x200, 70 strokes/1', with silencers on air exhaust

A =
without soundproofing
B =
without soundproofing box with dampers for
movable clamp
C =
with soundproofing box
D =
with soundproofing box and dampers

SAFETY SHIELD FUNCTION
Can be achieved mounting optional safety switches on the soundproof modules.


SAFETY
G.P.A. feeders are foreseen, in the standard version, to be placed on machines installed in areas protected by trip devices for person monitoring.
In the "long feeding stroke" mode (in this mode the feeder controls the press) the press control must foresee a mode for feeder operation which should take into account the relevant safety standards, to be connected to the safety circuits of G.P.A. electrical board.
Today G.P.A. electrical boards provide feeders of the safety devices foreseen in the "machinery" directive:
emergency device interfaced with the press, discharges the air from the movement cylinder, but keeps the material blocked into the fixed clamp.
reset system after emergency or pneumatic or electric energy failure.
interface circuits with the press control for the different modes of operation.


AIR CONSUMPTION
Air consumption per cycle at 5 bar AN (ANM):
-
Clamps Nl 0,35 (0,8)
-
Feeding cylinder by 10 mm stroke Nl 0,25 (0,45)
