Details & specifications
The BAUM 20 IPF Independent Deep Pile Feeder is a standalone feeder that integrates with a range of finishing equipment. It feeds sheets on register into UV coaters, laminators, creasing machines, scoring and perforating machines, inkjet bases, die cutters, and more. It is built on BAUM 20 Series technology and carries the controls and automation that go with it.
Key features
- Mobile design on heavy-duty locking casters, so the feeder moves and then stays put.
- Side blow kit standard, for air distribution across the pile during separation and feeding.
- Patented dual front blow bar system for consistent, accurate feeding across media types.
- Registration table with sheet guide, which holds sheet alignment for the machine downstream.
- Downline communication with an exit-sheet sensor option, for integration with connected finishing systems.
- Built-in batch counter with variable batch, including delays or stops at preset quantities.
- Built-in total counters that track current job counts and lifetime production.
- Diagnostic error messaging with real-time troubleshooting feedback to cut downtime.
- Double sheet detection that stops the feeder on a double feed.
- Non-contact pile height sensor, which holds sheet height without touching the stock.
