While operating an automatic press line, you may be required to load a new coil of material to replace a coil that has been depleted. It is crucial that the new coil is loaded correctly so that the stamping press can continue to produce quality piece parts.

Learning Objectives

• Describe two common types of automatic feeds used on mechanical power presses
• Explain the process for threading coil into different types of feeds
• Describe methods for aligning the coil at the die starting position
• Explain the process of threading the coil through the die stations
• List the tasks that the press operator may be required to perform after an acceptable piece part is produced
