Rugged and compact.

Rapid-Air servo feeds are built rock solid to withstand constant high-speed use in a metal stamping environment. Massive side frames are dowel-pinned and screwed to the center section and all precision components and solid castings form a rigid assembly for long term alignment and feeding accuracy. The drive motor is protected within side and top framework and all air circuit cavities and pneumatic operating pistons for roll release and pressure are housed inside the feed rather than exposing components like cylinders, hoses and valves.

Precision drive for optimum performance.

Both the upper and lower feed rolls are driven to precisely control positioning accuracy. Quality drive components operate in an oil bath inside the gear case. Our gear cluster system allows our feed rolls to apply a constant stock gripping force to prevent slippage with material at virtually any speed.

Mechanical and air pilot release.

CJ, 100 and 200 Series models have mechanical and air pilot releases available. Air pilot release is standard on 200 Series.

Feed roll system designed for high traction and positive control of stock gripping pressure.

The feed rolls are manually adjustable two ways. One, sets the amount of roll pressure applied to the stock, another provides eccentric adjustment for the upper roll, so you can not only vary the gripping force, but also maintain exact feed roll parallelism. Both are big pluses in eliminating feed induced camber and minimizing marking.

Easy to use programs and controls.

Sophisticated, yet easy to use, smart operating programs, controls and interfacing capabilities are made possible by advanced electronics. Our proprietary software can be utilized for a broad spectrum of press feeding applications, plus specialized operating programs can be implemented at any time.

Rugged construction, totally integrated mechanical features, highly responsive drive and control systems and exceptional functional performance - it all adds up to great value. When it comes to roll feeds, nobody compares to Rapid-Air.

NOTE: Servo feed accuracy at the rolls +/- .0025.
