Sheet Metal Handling and Feeder Mechanisms
In laser cutting, punching, and bending operations, efficient sheet handling is key to maintaining throughput and precision. Automated feeder mechanisms must move large, heavy steel sheets into exact positions with smooth, synchronized motion, often under tight cycle times and demanding load requirements.
Position Precisely. Feed Smoothly. Fabricate Without Interruption.
Helix Linear Technologies provides industrial-grade lead screws, actuators, and linear guides specifically designed for automated sheet metal handling systems. Our motion components deliver stable, high-force positioning across long travel distances, enabling accurate alignment and consistent material flow through fabrication cells.
Whether feeding press brakes, loading laser beds, or indexing punching stations, Helix solutions help OEMs build robust motion platforms that support high-mix, high-volume metalworking environments.
Key Benefits:
- High-load linear actuators position heavy sheet metal with precision
- Smooth, controlled motion protects material surfaces and equipment
- Durable components designed for repetitive impact and shop-floor conditions
- Custom strokes and configurations tailored to machine layout and size
Helix provides the motion that keeps metal moving to support safer, smarter, and more productive sheet handling operations.
