A pilot release stop may be added for higher speeds. The pilot release stop is
mounted next to the roll pressure knob and should be set to let the rolls open
about .005/.010 to free the material during piloting.

The rolls are case hardened and
ground solid rolls which make them
good for profiling, if you are running
a part that would need clearances
ground into the roll. Useful informa-
tion that you might need in the future
is that one revolution of the rolls is
3.173 inches. This can be used to
check if the program and motor are
working correctly. Put a line on the
lower roll and program the feed to
feed to feed 3.173 inches. The line
should return to the same spot after
every feed. If it does not, then call
Rapid-Air. If it does, then something
in the setup, such as roll pressure
or an obstruction in the die, could
cause a short feed.

The adjustable entrance guide is an add-on feature that can and should be used
on the entrance and exit of the servo feed. It has screwdriver slotted adjustable
stops for quick stop adjustment. By having one on each end of the feed, the set-up
time for aligning the material in the feed is decreased considerably as you will
now know that the material is straight through the feed before entering the die.
