UVF-2 SMART FEEDER

The UVF-2 SMART FEEDER is the industry’s first HMI/PLC based system designed for automatic
feeding of weld studs.  An easy to navigate, colorful display allows for full adjustment of feeding
parameters. Equipped with up to five sensors, the feeder tracks the stud’s position through the
system; from the vibratory bowl to the weld head. If an error exists, the operator is notified via
the touch screen and then instructed how to resolve the problem. The PLC can also provide an
external signal to a CNC or robot to pause production in the event of an error. A feed counter
can keep track of productivity or be used to establish a maintenance interval. A safety
enclosure made from structural aluminum and Plexiglas allows for a safe operating environment
while keeping the system free from dirt and debris.  The UVF-2 smart feeder can handle weld
studs ranging from #4 through 5/16” (M3-M8) in diameter and up to 1-1/8” in length.  It can be
used with mini-flanged, micro-flanged, and DIN flanged fasteners. The UVF-2 works with all IWT
autofeed weld heads and the IWT-CA auto feed hand gun.
