Product Gallery & Description

Dual‑Servo Precision Feeding for Thin and Flexible Materials

Rapid‑Air Tandem Servo Feeds are engineered specifically for applications where thin, delicate, or highly flexible materials require controlled, buckle‑free feeding into a die. By synchronizing two servo feeds—one at the die entrance and one at the exit—the system maintains constant tension on the strip, ensuring smooth, accurate progression even at high production speeds.

This dual‑feed configuration is ideal for materials that would otherwise wrinkle, buckle, or misfeed when pushed by a single servo unit. Rapid‑Air’s simplified, modern servo architecture delivers rugged reliability, fast job changeover, and low maintenance, making these tandem systems a smart choice for precision pressrooms.

Key Features

  • Two synchronized servo feeds maintain tension to prevent buckling
  • Ideal for thin or very flexible materials
  • Primary feed at die entrance + secondary feed at die exit
  • Secondary unit can be converted to a standard servo feed with a simple keypad and program update
  • Compact footprint and easy installation
  • High production rates with Rapid‑Air’s proven servo technology
  • Low maintenance, rugged construction, and fast job changeover
