Abstract
An idler roller assembly is provided which permits angular adjustment of the idler roller relative to the housing of the punch press feed so that accurate tracking of the feed stock may be accomplished. The idler roller rotates within a frame that is supported by trunions within the housing of the feed. The trunions permit pivoting of the frame to move the idler roller toward and away from the driven roller of the feed. An eccentric adjustment is provided between one of the trunions and the housing of the feed so that minute angular adjustments may be made to the idler roller.
