COE Press Equipment Corporation (Sterling Heights, MI), announced that it has recently shipped two press feeding lines to the San Antonio, TX, stamping plant of Takata Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), a supplier of air bags, seatbelts and other automotive components. Each of the lines is comprised of an 18 in ServoMaster™ 3 Series roll feed; a style 350, 18 in power straightener; a COE 24 in, 15,000 lb capacity coil reel; and an 18 in x 18 in threading table.
