Rapid-Air SERVO FEED: 100C, 100D series - Manual (Page 8)


Now that your servo feed unit has
been mounted and the cables have
been attached, you can proceed with
testing the unit. The first step is to
turn on the main disconnect switch
on the electrical enclosure. Next, at
the operator’s console, turn on the
on-off switch. The button should
illuminate to indicate that there is
power to the system.
The drive performs an initiate
sequence to check it’s internal
program. At this time the display
should show the Rapid-Air screen
for 5 seconds before starting the
main setup program. If you are
comfortable with programming a
job then continue; if not, please
refer to the “Programming
Procedure” located in this manual.
Follow the programming sequence
for the operators terminal to input
parameters into job storage. Your
servo feed has been fully tested
before it was shipped to your facility
PRETEST wRITE UP
Pretest For Servo Feed And Press Without Material
and this procedure is merely a test to
insure that all functions are
still functional and the cables are
properly seated.
Once you have programmed the
required parameters, select the
manual mode of operation. If you
are using air, check that the main
air is at least 80 PSI. Open and close
the feed rolls electrically and or
manually. Visually inspect that the
rolls open and close as you press the
appropriate keys on the keypad or
when using the manual levers.
Select the “inch” function (F2 on
keypad) on the manual mode screen.
Visually check that the rolls rotate
both forward and reverse with the
corresponding key. The speed is
preset to creep the rolls at a slow
speed for manual positioning of
the material.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to
place your fingers or any foreign
material into the rolls. Injury to the
operator or damage to the servo
rolls could result.
After you have verified that the rolls
and air logic are operational, you
can experiment with the single
cycle moves. The procedure is
outlined in the programming section
of this manual.
Now you can cycle the press and
watch the rolls to verify that the
signal from the press window switch
signal is functional and actuating
at the proper time.
After all the checks have been made
and you feel comfortable with the
programming of the servo controller,
place the servo in automatic mode.
Now cycle the press in either the
inch, single stroke or continous run.
The servo feed should react upon
the closure of the press window
and signal and simulate a feed
progression of material.
