Rapid-Air MINI-SERVO FEED: MS2, MS4 & MS8. 115vac, 1ph, 60hz - Manual (Page 4)

The gear box is located within the
feed body on the same side as the
roll release handle. It has a non-
lubricated gear box so it is essentially
maintenance free.
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 car-
rier that delivered the servo drive and
at the same time, report the damage to
your distributor.
The servo feed container should
contain:
1) servo feed – standard
1) console – standard
insTAllATion, roll PressUre & releAse, PiloT releAse
Installation
1) console stand – optional
1) servo mounting bracket – optional
1) cascade roller assembly – optional
Please contact someone at your
facility to verify what options you
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 centerline of
the die area. The servo can then be
mounted on the bracket. A print of the
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 centered 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
MSA2 servo.
The roll pressure knob is located on the
entrance side of the feed and is a knurl-
ed knob with a locking nut located
right behind it. It is positioned parallel
to the inlet face and uses a compres-
sion spring for adjusting roll pressure.
Roll.Pressure
The roll release handle is located on the side of the feed. Lifting the handle
opens the rolls and lifting to its stop will lock the rolls in place. This is a true
statement if the pilot release stop is not set. If the stop is set, then the roll will
only raise until the stop is reached just like in automatic for pilot release.
Roll.Release.Handle
The optional electric pilot release can be mounted on the entrance side of the
servo at the place labeled “inlet.” It is the customer’s 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 filtered and lightly lubricated air. There should be a minimum of 2 CFM
available at all times.
