Fin Line

FP-3B Fin Press

Fp3

The Oak FP-3 fin production line provides a high production solution for manufacturing quality fins. This 100 ton rated press provides enough stamping power for the most demanding fin designs, while remaining flexible for quick die change options. The line features new elements in stock feeding, lubrication and fin collection all geared toward ease of operation and increased productivity.

A hydraulic withdraw feature incorporated into the press slide gives access to the inner tooling of the fin stamping die without removing the die from the press.

The FP-3 line allows for the production of quality fins ranging from 1 to 108 inches long (maximum) using fin stock with a maximum width of 48 inches. This press has a bed opening of 51 inches x 48 inches and accommodates fin dies with a shut-height range of 9 to 13 inches. The standard stroke length offered on the FP-3 fin press is 1 1/2 inches. Press modifications allow for a maximum stroke length of 2 inches if taller collar heights are required.

Standard Machine Components

Hydraulic Withdraw	Allows access to the inner tooling of the fin stamping die without removing the die from the press.

Uncoiling System	This uncoiler, of the pinch roll feed type, maintains a free stock loop paying into the press. It is controlled by a photo-electric sensor to coincide with the press operating speed. >> More Information

Die Lubrication System	Provides lubricant to the fin die.

Suction Unit	The current upper suction unit is 3 horsepower with variable speed drive. Double units are available for extreme material and part design.

Stacker Unit	As fins are manufactured and dropped to the fin stacker, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) counts fins and stops the press when a predetermined amount of fins have been created. Various types of fin stackers are available to suit your needs. >> Rotary Stacker >> Shuttle Stacker >> Cart Stacker

Machine Capabilities

Fin Lengths	1" - 108" (25mm to 2742mm)

Maximum Fin Width	46" (1170mm)

Shut Height	9" (229mm) to 13" (330.5mm)

Standard Stroke	1.5" (40 mm) Standard Stroke 1" (25mm) - 2" (50 mm) Stroke Range

Hydraulic Withdraw	9" (230.5 mm) - 17" (430.5 mm)

Additional Options

We offer an extensive line of options to meet your specific fin production needs, including:
Die Pierce Punch Lubrication System	Recommended for additional lubrication to the pierce punches and dies.

Die Enhancement Lubrication System	Recommended for additional lubrication to the enhancement punches and dies.

Standard Fin Die Injector Lubrication System	May be included as an alternative to both the Pierce Punch and Enhancement Lubrication Systems.

Fin Stock Lacer and Guide	This device laces the new material strip through the die by push button control. It then functions as a stock guide.

Single Row Fin Options	Single row fins have unique characteristics that require special suction and fin stacker unit options.

Moving Suction Sheet

Fin Die Auto Slit Selector Mechanism	This automatic system is used to determine the needed adjustment to the die slitter blades from various row productions in less than 1 minute. This works in conjunction with the fin die.

Fin Die Auto Edge Trim Selector Mechanism	This mechanism actuates the quick adjustment of the die edge trim blades to match stock width requirements.

Fin Die Take Out System	For quick and easy removal of the die from the press.

Fin Line Scrap Transfer Conveyor System	This option uses a conveyor system to collect the material discarded during press operation.

Fin Line Scrap Collector System	This system is used to collect the material discarded during press operation.

Fin Press Vibration Isolators	This option isolates the press from the floor to reduce vibration. It also provides support and levels the machine. The vibration isolators also allow the press to be relocated in your facility with minimal foundation preparation.
