Our Product Range

Performance Servo Roll Feeds

Our Performance Roll Feeders are specially developed for high speed and demanding productions. Thanks to our technology, you are at the forefront of technology:

  • highest demands on precision.
  • high speed applications 
  • fastest possible pilot release
  • latest security requirements

High-speed Pilot Release

Zehnder & Sommer is one of the pioneers of fast pneumatic pilot release. The constant development of this technology culminated 2018 in the launch of the Colibri system, which allows reliable pilot release for productions up to more than 2,000 strokes per minute. Thanks to directly integrated sensors and the modern feed control with real-time recording, the feeding movement is continuously monitored what allows a perfect optimization of the stamping and forming process.

R-Series Roll Feeds

One-sided roll feeds for special applications:

  • quick roll change
  • double systems side by side (2 parallel materials)
  • can be attached to the side (e.g. on stamping and bending machines)

Compact roll feeds

The small compact feeders can be installed in the tightest of spaces, for example in automation systems or directly in the punching tool. The integrated control IC makes the overall system even more compact and versatile.

ECO Roll Feed

Cost-effective complete roll feed systems without sacrificing precision and Swiss quality.

Electrical Gripper Feeds

The linear-electric gripper feeds stand for fast feeding at highest precision. Ideal to feed wires and narrow bands.

Pneumatic Gripper Feeds

For more than 50 years Zehnder & Sommer is manufacturing Pneumatic Gripper Feeds known for its precision and reliability. Many systems are still in use 40 and more years after installation.
