Wire Feeder [PIC-123]

Automatic Wire Feeder Machine Module

PIC-123 Wire Feeder helps you to cut out a consistent length wire for your production. This feeder module can be further integrated with a wire cutter module to become an automatic wire cutter machine for standard wire length production.

A press of a button to feed the standard length that you have preset. Simple to use. Suitable for low cost, low volume wire cutting production use.

Features

  • Standard wire length feeding with a single button press.
  • 3x push-button memory preset (M1, M2, M3) for your frequent use wire length.
  • Left/Right push button helps to adjust to length (in units of 1mm) before applying it to the memory preset.
  • Easy spring-loaded lifting to insert a fresh wire through.
  • Mounting holes for installing a holding rod for the wire reel.
  • Mounting holes for installation to bracket or chassis.
  • External input trigger to activate the feeding. (same as memory M1)
  • Trigger external output (eg. wire cutter module) when the operation is completed
  • LED indicator for the feeding operation.
  • Choice of enabling feedback beep sound.
  • 12V power supply for controlling the Bipolar Stepper Motor feeder module.
