Rapid-Air STRAIGHTENER and PUSHBUTTON RAPID-ROLL: SC SERIES - Manual (Page 9)


Curve Up/Down Adjustment
Some applications have dies that can-
not accept anything but flat stock
and other dies run better with the ma-
terial curving up or down to miss the
built-in edge required in the die. Be-
fore this feature was added, operators
would under straighten or over
straighten the material to suit their
needs but in doing so would severely
change the material entering the die.
This not only caused feeding prob-
lems but part quality problems. With
this feature, curve up or down can be
accomplished by changing the posi-
tion of the rolls without stressing the
material.
Standard Straightener coMponentS
Entrance Cascade Roll
The entrance cascade roll assembly
is used to maintain a support arc for
stock entering a feed. The cascade
roll has three extra rollers to help the
material flow better.
Exit Cascade Roll
The straightener is shipped with
the exit side pre-drilled for the
cascade roll or guide roll block.
The entrance and exit use the
same components.
optional Straightener coMponentS
Angle Bracket
Rapid-Air offers this accessory that
mounts between the straightener
head and the base. It angles the
exit side of the straightener twelve
degrees lower than the entrance
side. This feature works very well
when using the straightener to pull
off a non-powered reel.
Entrance Guide Roll Block
All straighteners are shipped with
an entrance guide roll block. This
contains a roller and two adjustable
edge guides.
