SERVO DRIVE STAGGER FEED STF4, STF6, STF8
Produces the most parts from the least amount of material.
Rapid-Air’s STF Series Servo Drive Stagger Feed maximizes material usage by pre-programming the optimum pattern to reduce coil material waste. Enhances even the most simple die by feeding it diagonally, side-to-side, or in any pattern.
- The programmability allows use of common or uncommon stock widths. Uncommon stock widths may be purchased at a lower cost and maximized by using our servo drive stagger feed.
- Any pattern, staggered or column, can be created for round or non-round parts to maximize material usage, staggered or column.
- The STF Series is a dual servo drive working in harmony with the die to provide fast, accurate moves.
- Feeds coil material up to 8” (203mm) wide x .085” (2.15mm) thick. Shuttle travel 8.5” (216mm). 8.0 usable travel.
- Incorporates our reliable, high performance Rapid-Air servo which offers quick changeover and speed, unlike time-consuming mechanical models.
- User-friendly Rapid-Air controls.
- In-house programming capabilities no one else can offer.
- Pilot release is included. Just add valve.
- 250 strokes per minute, with or without pilot release.
- Low maintenance.
| Model | Max Material Width | Max. Thickness Capacity at Full Width | Shuttle Move | A.C. Input Power Required | Speed Strokes Per Minute (With or Without Pilot Release) |
| STF6* | 6” (152mm) | .085” (2.15mm) | 0 to 6” (0 to 152mm) | 230vac, 1ph, 60/50hz | 250 |
TANDEM SERVO FEEDS
Ideal for feeding thin or very flexible materials.
A Rapid-Air Tandem Servo Feed is recommended when feeding thin or very flexible material into a die. Two synchronized feeds prevent buckling by maintaining tension on the stock using a special program. A Primary Servo Feed is placed at the entrance to the die and a Secondary Servo Feed is placed at the exit. You can later convert to two standard feeds, if desired, by a simple addition of a keypad and a standard program for the slave unit.
