TRACKING
The conveyor must track straight for proper sanding. If the conveyor tracks to either
side and not straight, you must fix the tracking. When tracking your conveyor,
remember that this process can take some time and that proper balance and
patience is required. To make the conveyor move in the middle of the rollers, it is
recommended that you first over tighten the loose side (the side the belt is tracking
towards) and then loosen that same side in order to make the conveyor stay in
position. You can try this for both sides but must ensure that the conveyor tracks in
the middle by trail and error.
1) Turn the conveyor belt
ON
. Watch the conveyor track and notice which way it is
tracking.
2) Once you have determined which way it is tracking, turn the machine
OFF,
tension the tracking bolt on the loose side (the direction the belt is tracking to).
Turn the machine
ON
to see if it is tracking the opposite way. (This may take
some time to notice a difference but be patient)
3) When the conveyor is near the middle of the table, loosen the adjustment knobs
until the conveyor itself stops moving sideways and tracks straight.
4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 if you do not get results right away. This process may take
several minutes.
