Rapid-Air STRAIGHTENER / RAPID-ROLL: SA3 - SD with compact control - Manual (Page 37)

OPERATION
For set up only, place a short length
of stock about four feet long on the
bottom rolls, between the pinch
rolls. Set the entrance guide rolls
to maintain stock position. Make
sure the top rolls are retracted. To
prevent stock deformation apply
light pinch roll force on the stock
to insure adequate assisting
pulling force on the stock and to
prevent slippage of the stock while
operating. never overload the pinch
rolls. This could damage the stock
by extrusion causing permanent
deformation.
The dancer arm position for height
and range is operator selectable
through the setting of thumbwheels.
rapid roll
The speed of the Rapid Roll rollers is
automatically controlled by the posi-
tion of the dancer arm.
As the dancer arm is raised the Rapid
Roll rollers increase in speed. This
minimizes starting and stopping and
resultant stock deformation.
