Rapid-Air STRAIGHTENER: SBX, SCX & SD SERIES - Manual (Page 13)

STANDARD STRAIGHTENER COMPONENTS
CURVE UP/DOWN ADJUSTMENT
Some applications have dies that cannot accept anything but flat stock and other dies run better
with the material curving up or down to miss the built in edge required in the die. Before this
feature was added, operators would under straighten or over straighten the material to suit their
needs but in doing so would severely change the material entering the die. This not only caused
feeding problems but part quality problems. With this feature, curve up or down can be accom-
plished by changing the position of the rolls without stressing the material.
ENTRANCE GUIDE ROLL BLOCK
All straighteners are shipped with an entrance guide roll. This contains a roller and two adjust-
able edge guides.
OPTIONAL STRAIGHTENER COMPONENTS
ENTRANCE CASCADE ROLL
The entrance cascade roll assembly is used to maintain a support arc for stock entering a feed.
The cascade roll has three extra rollers to help the material flow better.
EXIT CASCADE ROLL
The straightener is shipped with the exit side pre-drilled for the cascade roll or guide roll
block. The entrance and exit use the same components.
ANGLE BRACKET
Rapid Air offers this accessory that mounts between the straightener head and the base. It an-
gles the exit side of the straightener twelve degrees lower than the entrance side. This feature
works very well when using the straightener to pull off a non powered reel.
