Verify Pallet Setup Stationary Mount Parallelism
This procedure is optional. It describes how to verify stationary mount parallelism.
If a stationary mount is parallel with the upper v-rail, the system nominal is
slightly closer to true nominal.
1. Install a stationary mount.
See Install a Pallet Setup Stationary Mount on page 217.
2. Mount a dial indicator on a pallet, such that it contacts the datum face of the
stationary mount.
For example; mount a dial indicator to the top or side of a pallet with a rigid
clamp.
3. Note the dial indicator measurements as you slowly slide the pallet, from left to
right, along the stationary mount.
4. Based on the dial indicator results, complete one (1) of the following:
• If the dial indicator measurements are the same on each side of the
stationary mount, the face of the stationary mount is parallel with the
upper v-rail. The procedure is complete.
For example:
• If the value on the dial indicator is different on each side of the pallet
setup stationary location, the face of the stationary mount is not
parallel with the upper v-rail. Proceed to step 4.
5. Replace the shims, installed in step 1, with shims that are the correct size to
improve parallelism.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 3.
This procedure is optional. It is okay if the nominal for a particular system
is slightly off from true nominal (for example; off by 10-20 µm). The
important thing is that all pallets on the SuperTrak system are adjusted to
the same nominal.
