• Red Bud Industries Roll Feed (Jun 09, 2025)
  Red Bud Industries has rarely taken the path of least resistance when it comes to equipment design. We have always tried to think “outside of the box” in our approach to engineering in an effort to give our customers definitive advantages in the markets where they compete. Keeping with this tradition, we developed a direct “dual motor drive” Precision Servo Roll Feed that improves upon the traditional Roll Feed designs.
  
  Traditional Roll Feeds use a single input AC motor with dual output shafts to the Feed rolls. Although these systems normally use “anti-backlash” gearboxes, they still contribute to length inaccuracy. In addition, torsional flex in the drive shafts also contributes to Feed inaccuracy, especially in heavy gauge applications where you are moving a lot of weight.
  
  Our Roll Feeds have independent AC motors mounted directly to the Feed rolls. This design eliminates virtually eliminates length variances that originate from “slop” in traditional gearboxes. In addition, the design eliminates the drive shafts altogether. This results in  better accuracy and less maintenance.
