Rapid-Air SERVO FEED: 100C, 100D series - Manual (Page 12)


To help you to enter a job from the
keypad, let’s create an example.
We will use a feed length of three
inches and want to run at 100 strokes
per minute. We have a pilot pin on
the die, so pilots will have to be used.
The max feed arc will be 180 degrees.
The main menu is currently displayed.
First we select the job number and
we will use job #1.
1. Press F1 to select the job number.
2. Enter job number “01” – press the
F4 key when finished.
3. The job number screen shows two
choices:
A. F1 = program parameters. This
choice is used if a job has al
ready been programmed and
you would like to adjust the
parameters that were preset for
the job.
B. F2 = feed-advisor-calc. This
should be used when entering a
new job number. The two main
inputs are the feed length and
strokes per minute. The third
input is to enter a “1” or a “0”

Servo
for pilots. We will put in a “1”
for “yes for pilots”. The fourth
input is the feed arc. This is
preprogrammed as 180 degrees
and need not be changed to set
up a job unless specific move
parameters in relation to press
stroke position is required. To
move around in this screen,
press the “enter” key in the
lower right corner of the key
pad. Once the feed length and
strokes per minute are entered,
then the F4 key to exit the
screen. The program now
calculates the accel/decel and
speed for the parameters
entered. At this time the
“F4 key” review parameter
should be used to check to be
sure that you entered the
correct parameters.
4. Press “F2” to select the manual
mode.
A. Press F1 to select the “inch” or
jog mode. This mode will move
the material slowly forward or
reverse to position the material
at it’s proper location. F2 being
used for forward and F3 for
reverse movement. Press F4
to leave the “inch” mode.
B. Press F2 to select the “single
feed” mode. At this time each
press on the F1 key will rotate
the rolls to move the material
three inches, the feed length
that was entered, at the same
feed rate as the feed would
move the material in the
automatic mode. Press the
F4 key {exit} to leave this screen.
5. Press “F3” to select automatic
cycle. In this mode the servo can be
run in the batch or continuous mode.
A. Press F1 to select the batch
mode. In the batch mode, the
servo will feed each time it is
commanded until the batch
count reaches “0”, then the
automatic cycle drops out.
B. Press F2 to select the
continuous mode. In the
continuous mode, the servo will
feed each time it is commanded
until the command stops or the
operator presses the “F4”
return key.
