Plasma Feeding System

Save operating costs by reducing scrap and eliminating labor through the use of the Vicon Plasma Feeding System. Automatically uncoil, straighten, bead, and feed your various material gauges to your plasma cutting machine.

With a Vicon style drum mandrel, the Vicon Plasma Feeder is an innovative solution for the easy loading of coils. Convenient removable coil keeper end plate is light enough for just one person to attach it to the drum mandrel. The unit is designed with pneumatic "backup" wheels at each coil station for positive feed up of each coil and safe band removal on new coils.

Coils will be spooled on Vicon's exclusive Coil Drum Assemblies for the fastest coil loading available (patented). Roller track guiding system provided to guide the end of the desired coil up to the infeed guide ramp on the plasma feed unit.
