Inexpensive custom feed and stock clamps.
Simplify many difficult jobs with our feed and stock clamps specially designed to accommodate a variety of material configurations. Clamp inserts made of rubber, leather, nylon and vinyl protect delicate surfaces of soft, pliable and compressible materials.
Spring-loaded stock clamp.
A spring-loaded stock clamp is optional with all Rapid-Air Feeds and is recommended for most applications when feeding cambered stock or when use of pilots is desirable.
Safety guards.
A see-through, high-strength plastic safety guard is available for all models. Easily installed, it shields the moving slide block mechanism.

Pilot release stock clamp.
For unusual requirements, use a pilot release stock clamp. An electrical signal actuates the clamp so that it lifts completely to allow for free movement of material to position it when pilots are used. Available for most models.
Replaceable wear plates.
Replaceable wear plates are available for all Rapid-Air Feeds (standard equipment for Series C and larger feeds, optional for Series A and B models).
Wear plates for specialized applications.
Feeds can be equipped with grooved or other special types of removable wear plates for any number of specific applications.
Rapid-Air units are simple to service.
All internal parts are readily accessible. Ask your nearest distributor for our service video. Service videos available in VHS or CD-Rom.
