With many types of sheet metal processing, the feed and levelling processes can be combined in a single machine: With its feeder straighteners, ARKU has had a considerable influence on the development of the short-format machine.
In a confined space
The use of a loop pit as a buffer is superfluous when using a feeder straightener. The length of the line is reduced, and unwinding and rewinding times are noticeably shortened.
Zigzag saves material costs
ARKU short-format machines can be equipped with zigzag traverse systems. The automobile industry and its major suppliers have calculated that CompactFeed® systems with zigzag operation save six-figure material costs per year.
