Linear Actuator Installation
All units of the Series 300 System are stand-alone except the Linear Actuator (weld head), which must be
mounted on a stable, vibration-proof work surface. If you purchase the optional L-Stand Assembly, which
provides a flexible method of installing the actuator for non-automated applications, refer to that specific
paragraph, below.
Basic Installation
NOTE:
The Linear Actuator has
three sets of mounting holes, with
identical hole patterns, so the unit
can be mounted on its back or
either side. An optional adapter
plate (P/N 4-33273-01) is available
from Amada Miyachi America and
is already included in the optional
L-Stand Assembly.
Referring to figure 2-1 and the
Installation Drawing (included in
the Ship Kit), perform the
following steps.
1
Secure the actuator to an
adapter plate with four 1/4-20
screws. If you are using the
above-mentioned adapter plate,
these should be 1/4-20 x 3/4"
flat head Phillips screws (P/N
625-595).
2 Secure the adapter plate to a
vertical mounting surface
using two machine bolts and
flat washers. The height of the
upper electrode holder above
the lower electrode holder (to
be installed in step 3) should
allow for no more than 1.06 in.
(27mm) of upper electrode travel.
3 Secure the lower electrode holder (user furnished, but included in the optional L-Stand Assembly) to
the horizontal work surface, in alignment with the upper electrode holder. The misalignment
between the upper and lower electrode center lines should be less than 10% of the
smallest
electrode
diameter or width dimensions.
