Abstract
A method and apparatus for feeding strip stock into a machine, such as a press, in which opposed feed rolls are closed on the strip stock for frictionally engaging the strip stock and one thereof is accelerated from a stopped position and is then decelerated back to a stopped position for a feed cycle with a control system provided for determining the precise point during a feed cycle to initiate deceleration of the feed roll. At the end of a feed cycle, the feed rolls are again separated.
