Rapid-Air SERVO FEED: 104CJ, 108CJ, 106CJ, 112CJ - Manual (Page 4)


The Rapid-Air servo was run and fully
tested before being shipped from our
plant. Carefully inspect all parts when
uncrating them. If you find any dam-
aged parts, please report it to the
carrier that delivered the servo drive
and at the same time, report the dam-
age to your distributor.
The servo feed container should
contain:
1 servo feed-- standard
1 console-- standard
1 console stand-- optional
1 servo mounting bracket-- optional
1 cascade roller assembly-- optional
please contact someone at your
facility to verify what options were
purchased.
If a mounting bracket was purchased
then it should be mounted first being
careful that the center line of the
bracket lines up with the center line
of the die area. The servo can then be
mounted on the bracket. A print of the
INSTAllATION, mEChANICAl & ElECTRIC PIlOT RElEASE
bracket can be found in the back of
this manual.
If a bracket was not purchased then
the servo will have to be mounted on
the press bed or customer provided
bracket. line up the rolls to be cen-
tered and perpendicular to the center
line of the die area. Included in the
back of this manual is a hole pattern
layout print for the CJ servo.
All CJ servo feeds are manufactured to
accept an optional mechanical pilot re-
lease kit. If the mechanical pilot release
is used, (we recommend it for press
speeds of 250 or greater strokes
per minute.) An adjustable actuator must
be mounted to the press and timed to
open the rolls when needed. Rapid-Air
offers such an actuator but only in one
style and one length. If after inspecting
the print dimensions and it is found that it
would work for you then contact your
distributor to purchase the actuating
arm. If the arm doesn’t seem like it will
work then manufacturing your own arm
is your only recourse. The only
dimension that has to be closely
watched is the travel of the mechanical
actuating arm attached to the feed. The
maximum travel of this arm is .800 before
bottoming out (.250 for 106 & 112 CJ).

The optional electric pilot release is
mounted on top of the servo with 4
bolts which are included in the kit.
The kit also includes the valve and
the roll release stop for setting the
maximum movement of the roll open-
ing. It is the customers responsibility
to interface the pilot release
valve with the customer supplied,
press mounted, activating switch. The
air requirements for the release to
work correctly is 80 to 120 pSI, dry fil-
tered and lightly lubricated air. There
should be a minimum of 2 CFm avail-
able at all times.
