VGXVGX Series

New type grip feed with adjustablerelease timing using a handle.

VGX Series VGX30/60/100/350
Features● Improved adjustment functions (added adjustment functions that use handles to set material thickness and the release position)● Improved applicability for different material shapes and secondary processing of materials.
● When the material thickness setting is changed, the upper material guide does not need to be adjusted.
● By employing a gate-shaped gripping clamp arm, the material gripping force is improved and the feeding capacity is improved.

To make adjustments without tools, to make fine adjustments during operation, to supply
material at creep speeds, the new cam-driven grip feed is exactly what you want. It wasdeveloped from the results and experience we have established to improve work safety andoperate at high speed. In addition to the excellent features (high-speed, high-precision feeding,and hard to scarred materials) of the VG series, this series lets you adjust for material
thickness, feed length, and release timing without needing any tools. Also, fine adjustments canbe made during operation. These adjustments can be made with handles (or pushbuttons on
the VGX350), and the current settings are displayed by mechanical counters, so that
adjustment is truly easy. A grip parameter system is used to adjust the material thickness andgripping force, which means that parameter adjustments can be done simply and precisely,compared with existing models.
By improving the usability of the VG series, the VGX series are complete, high-functionality
products that can handle a variety of material feed conditions. They have the features andadvantages listed below.

The release angle can be set from 0°to 360°regardless of thetiming of the other motions.
However, the pilot release function is enabled in the stop area
(shown above). If it is set to the feed area, the materials will be
fed without a release operation.
You can check these settings on the rotary index wheel on the

Variax operation timing

Compression margin（C.M.）

Timing diagram examples

Generally, when feeding material with a feeder, the material isgripped between the upper and lower rollers, or grippers, to be fed.
When gripping material, if the dimension between the upper andlower rollers (or grippers) is set smaller than the thickness
dimension of the material to be feed, the material may become
warped or curved, due to the gripping force between the rollers or
grippers. Therefore, the distance between these rollers or grippers
must be adjusted appropriately.
The compression margin (CM) is a numerical value of how small the
distance between the rollers or grippers can be, with respect to thematerial thickness being fed. It is calculated using the formula:"compression margin (CM) = plate thickness (t) - gap (T) .
By using this method of setting the compression margin, no matter
how much the gripping force is used, the material will not be
gripped with a higher force than the CM.
If the CM is within the longitudinal elastic modulus range of thematerial, it will not be distorted, and suﬃcient grip can be applied
to enable high-speed feeding.
The compression margin setting aﬀects the pilot release angle
during press work.
The release angle is shown in the speciﬁcations table of eachmodel. However, these are only guidelines for the standard
compression margin. The actual release angle may change,depending on the compression margin used.
(The larger the compression margin, the smaller the pilot release
angle.
See the ﬁgure below.)
The table below shows the standard compression margin for eachmodel and the guidelines for the thickness tolerance of material
that can be fed using these margins. However, the CM can be
adjusted.
If you are using a material that is not covered by this table, pleasecontact our sales staﬀ before using it in your Variax.

Figure 11-1

In the Variax, a total of four cams (the roller gear cam for feeding,the plate cams for gripping, the clamper, and for release) perform
feed operations according to the timing shown in the example
timing diagram above.
There is a DWELL area at both ends of the feed and the returnareas of the feed cam. When in this DWELL area, the material canbe transferred by the gripper and clamper.
The cam for release can be set to operate in any area, regardlessof the timing of other cams.
However, if it is set to operate in the feed area of the feed cam, the
Variax will operate without any other release occurring.
You can check these settings on the rotary index wheel on the input
shaft. (With the VGX series, you can check these timings directlyon the counter.)Standard compression margin

Feed Angle
The standard feed angle of Variax is set to provide the best balance
between feeding and returning in the oscillating motion of the roller
and gripper, which makes it well suited for high-speed feeding.
Be especially careful when using a press that has a link motion with
the Variax or when using a die that has a long pilot pin.

Release angle

Sample pilot release diagram

Compression margin(mm)When using a die with a pilot pin it is necessary to match the pilot
timing with the Variax s release timing.
The release timing can be adjusted arbitrarily up to 360°using therelease timing adjustment device on each model.
No-release feeding is also possible by setting the release timing tooccur within the feed angle.
The release angles shown in the characteristics table for eachmodel are guidelines for a standard compression margin.
Please note that the actual release angle will change, depending on
the compression margin. (See the Compression Margin section.)
In a production process in which the standard feed angle and release
angle may not offer the best feed operation, the feed angle andrelease angle of the Variax can be changed to custom specifications
for you. However, to convert a Variax to custom specifications, we willneed to disassemble a standard Variax. Therefore, if you desire
custom specifications, please contact us before placing your order.

How to read the feeding capacity diagram.
The feeding capacity of the Variax is set according to the individual
feeding device, and the speed and mass of the material to be fed.
In the case of the press layout shown below, the material mass M
that is intermittently transferred is calculated as M (kg) = material
thickness (m) × material width (m) × length ℓ (m) × density (kg/m3).
Find the maximum press speed by locating the material mass andfeed length on the maximum feed capacity diagram for each model.
The press rotation speed shown does not include friction between
the material and the guides, or any other loads such as resistancecaused by ﬂapping material. As a general guide, set the production
speed to about 80% of this speed.
(See Figure 12-2)
If the rotation speed shown is not possible in actual operation due
to various conditions such as friction between the rollers and thematerial, friction between the material and the guides, the actual
load, or to resistance due to ﬂapping material, reduce the rotation
speed.

Lubricationnecessary to replace the oil after a certain amount of operating
time.
Change the oil after the ﬁrst 1000 hours of operation, or after theﬁrst six months.
Then, change the oil once a year or every 3000 hours of operation.

Lubrication of precision machinery plays an important role inachieving full functionality.
In other words, it reduces the friction of sliding and rolling parts,
removes heat caused by friction, and prevents corrosion.
As a precision machine, the Variax needs to be fully lubricated toobtain the designed product life.
Variax adopts the optimum lubrication system for each model, andthe VGX series uses an external lubrication system. However, if
the speciﬁcations match the press's lubrication system, it is
ﬂexible enough that it can share its lubrication system with thepress.
Lubricant management is an important daily inspection item.
Here are some points to keep in mind when managing lubricants.
(For details, please check the instruction manual.)（3）

Check the oil supply

Recommended lubrication oil

From our long experience, Sankyo has selected the best lubricating
oil for each feeder.
These lubricants are high-quality mineral oils with additives that
improve lubrication performance.
The recommended oil varies, depending on the model, so refer tothe instruction manual for each feeder.

The oil level in the oil bath and lubricating oil tank should bechecked once a day, at the beginning of work or before operating
the Variax.
Also, in the case of an external lubrication system, make sure thatthe oil supply ﬂow rate is appropriate.
