Specialized Upper V-Rail Adjustment - Straight Section to 180 Deg.
Section
1. Remove the encoder assembly.
See Replace an Encoder Assembly on page 165.
2. Loosen the upper v-rail screws.
3. At the end of the upper v-rail that requires adjustment, remove the 0.25 mm
(0.01 in.) shim and replace it with a smaller or larger shim as required.
For example, a shim would be placed in the area indicated if the right side
required outward adjustment.
4. Re-install the encoder assembly that was removed in step 1.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 of Fine-Adjust the Upper V-Rail on page 103.
This is a specialized procedure that is not generally required.
The most important alignment for pallets to travel smoothly is the upper
v-rail alignment. The second most important alignment is the lower flat
rail alignment. Minor misalignment is acceptable because the wear strip
straddles it, but if it is misaligned too much, the wear strip will flex and
create an audible “clicking” sound. The third most important alignment is
the laminations. If these are not aligned, a magnetic “bump” can occur as
pallets travel across it.
For all three alignments, the wedge adjust generally allows for alignment
that is adequate enough.
