Rapid-Air Loop Controls

Interchangeable loop sensing arms.

Both a lightweight low inertia loop sensing arm and a heavier, counterbalance arm can be used on all powered reel models. The counterbalanced arm fits directly through the loop sensing arm shaft. A counterweight can be shifted to apply more or less tension to material being payed out or rewound.

When the lightweight arm is used, it fits into a sleeve that is inserted in the shaft hole and locked into place.

Optional LLRIC/LLRIM remote mount single actuating arms.

The modular design of our Rapid-Air proportional loop arm allows it to be remote mounted. This offers operators a high degree of loop flexibility in unique payout and rewind applications.

External loop control port included with all powered reels and straighteners.

Our variable speed powered reels are made for ease of operation with innovative standard features such as our proportional control system.

This top-of-the-line patented system features variable speed capability, electronic loop height adjustment and loop sensing arm range control. The standard AC to DC converter control sets rpm as a percentage of maximum speed. An internal switch automatically senses the active side to the reel.

Now combined with our control module for remote loop sensing, the proportional control provides a capability for direct electronic tie-in to separate loop control equipment.

Reel rpm can be set as a percentage of maximum rpm in order to more
