Installation
Connect Two SuperTrak Conveyance Platform Sections
Together
In this procedure, “section A” references an installed straight section,
180 deg. section, or group of sections. “Section B” is the straight section, 180 deg.
section, or group of sections being installed next to section A.
1. Align the section B with the section A, and then slide the section B under the
top connection plate of section A.
2. If required, adjust the height of section B until the top of the frame touches the
bottom of the top connection plate on section A.
3. Install two (2) dowels through the outer holes of top connection plate.
4. Level section B.
See Level the Frame on page 95.
5. Loosely install four (4) screws in the top connection plate to secure section B in
position.
Always use appropriate lifting devices (for example, a forklift or crane)
and use safe lifting practices and procedures when lifting a straight or
curved section.
See
Lift a SuperTrak Conveyance Platform Section on page 74.
ATS recommends that you obtain relevant information from your national
Health and Safety Authority.
• To prevent system damage, always keep the system sections upright.
• When two (2) large SuperTrak conveyance platform sections are
joined together, remove the upper v-rail from the connecting straight
sections.
The upper v-rail overhangs the edge of the section; removal of the
upper v-rail before joining the sections prevents upper v-rail and
encoder assembly damage.
It is also recommended to install the interconnect before the sections
are joined together, for ease of installation.
