Need good coil feed info source

Need good coil feed info source

(OP)
We are finally considering moving this plant into coil fed sheet metal.  We are essentially a low volume manufacturer but have a few parts with enough volume to make this process attractive.
I need some good basic info to begin specifying equipment.  
The initial project will involve 22 gauge between 10 inches and 14 inches wide.
Anyone been involved in such a process conversion who would care to share experiences?

RE: Need good coil feed info source

I am a little late responding, but thought I might have some insight to share. I have been involved in similar work with soft, malleable materials of similar size.
Are you coiling/uncoiling vertical or horizontal?
Push feed or pull? (or both)
Distance between machine components?
What type of process? Stamping? Heat treatment? Fabrication?

What factors are you trying to control?

If this project is still alive, let me know.
