High-Torque Power
The DXY Zig-Zag ServoFeed offers dramatic advantages in stagger feeding as compared to other zig-zag feeds which tend to be mechanically complex and difficult to operate and maintain. The model DXY is completely automated using proprietary software interface techniques to calculate and set up all machine parameters quickly and accurately.

The X-Y movement allows parts to be nested in a staggered pattern for optimum material yield and, unlike any other stagger feed on the market, the DXY allows you to automatically calculate your best pattern for optimum material yield in seconds

Designed for optimum performance, the model DXY utilizes the basic mechanical advantages of the standard DX ServoFeed, set up in a dual-axis format. A linear ball screw and an AC brushless servo motor in each axis provides high torque and maximum pulling force. The powerful Dynamic gripping system uses one-way rollers to grip material on the forward stroke and hold it on the return stroke.

	Dual AC brushless servo drive motors
	Dynamic feed gripping system
	Linear ball-screw system in both X and Y axes
	High rigidity and oversized load carrying capacity
	Mounting plate +/- 1" adjustment
	User friendly ServoFeed console with operator controls featuring Dynamic Feeds' proprietary Zig-Zag software. Includes all DX console features with LAN-based, dual-axis communication
	Software optimizing tools provide: · Optimal material yield. · Optimal web width. · Optimal material width

Provides all of the benefits of the DX ServoFeed, plus:
	Can be used to punch 1-out or multiple-out patterns
	Delivers material in a simultaneous X/Y movement which allows for high speed operations
	Reduces costly scrap by optimizing material yields
	Reduces inventory and downtime by standardizing and consolidating material widths
	Minimizes set-up time by automatically calculating both X and Y axes
	Allows a family of parts to be run on one press based on a given width
	Powerful, yet compact. Requires very little floor space
	Mounts to any side of a press

System Set Up Is Easy
System set up and calibration is so simple it requires no computer training. Simply enter:

1. number of columns per strip (2-out, 3-out, etc.), or material width
2. part diameter
3. web width
4. strokes-per-minute

Once job parameters are entered, the controller automatically calculates the optimum movement in each axis and sets up the feed to deliver the material in a simultaneous X-Y movement. This allows the feed to deliver material at high speeds.

Automatic Punch Calculations
The DXY can be used to punch either 1-out or multiple-out patterns. The standard "Pattern Generator" software is available with the DXY to automatically calculate the best yield of your material and set up all parameters for the machine.

No Computer Training Needed
The "Pattern Generator" software can be preprogrammed by Dynamic Feeds to calculate your specific applications and then downloaded to your DXY Zig-Zag ServoFeed. Just send us your specifications for a family of diameters at a given thickness, and Dynamic Feeds will:

• recommend a family of widths.
• recommend running a given family of part diameters for a given width.
• recommend your best pattern for optimum material yield.
• show you your projected cost savings.

Pull-through straightener mounts directly to the back of the feed.

Additional Feedheads enable stock to be gripped on both edges. Available with hardened knurled, chromed, urethane-coated or chromed shot blast rollers.

Adjustable Mounting Plate has a hydraulic jack for quick, easy feed height adjustment of +/- 3". OBI presses may require the plate to be shimmed from the bolster to clear the leg of the press.

Top Guard shields the moving carriage on the feed. Easy to install and remove. Rear Guard and Roller guards the thrust rod or motor while supporting incoming material with roller. An additional top roller and/or cascade rolls can be added to introduce material into the feed system.

Pilot Release System releases material where camber is a problem or where the pilot can't pull forward due to material softness. Used for very thin (.020" and less) and narrow material.

Dual Grippers are standard on feeds 15" or wider. They are offered as an option on smaller feeds running 5" wide material at .060" or greater. Standard models can accommodate a maximum width of 36".

Tandem Block provides extra pulling power for thick material that is not wide enough to grip on both edges and requires an extra feedhead. This reduces the total amount of feedlength by 1 3/8".

Bridge Gripper is used for applications requiring greater clamping force or material with non-markable surface. Provides a full-width grip on material up to 12" wide.
