Installation
Ensure that your conveyor equipment has been securely fastened to the floor or other mounting surface
before full operation occurs.
Consideration should be given to floor point loading prior to installation to ensure
proper support of equipment. See Appendix 1 for section weights.
5.1
Mechanical Installation
5.1.1
Bed Section Placement
1.
Lay out chalk lines on floor for placement
–
See the system layout/installation drawings.
2.
Lift the drive section off the skid using the provided lifting eyes on the frame
3.
Set the drive section in position. Refer to the system layout/installation drawing and Figure 1.
DO NOT pick up or move drive section using the lifting eyes on the motor or
gearbox. Damage to the gearbox or drive shaft may result.
On larger units, the motor may be shipped separate from the drive unit. See SEW
Eurodrive Gear Unit Assembly and Operating Instructions section 4 for installation
instructions.
Secure the drive unit to the floor before installing the motor. Heavy gearmotors
may cause the drive unit to become unbalanced or tip during installation.
4.
Adjust the foot bolts on the drive so all four feet are in contact with the floor and the drive section is
level and aligned to the chalk lines.
5.
Check that the height of the drive section matches the specified height on the system layout
drawing (the top of the
frame is 3/8” below
the final slat surface)
6.
If the drive section is out of square, use the provided tension rod for squaring adjustment
7.
Set each section and bolt them together, working backwards from the drive to the tail. See Figure 5
for details on fastening the sections together. Hand tighten only at this stage.
8.
Check square on each section and check the straightness of the sorter before securing to the floor.
5.1.2
Floor Support Installation
1.
2.
Place a thin black neoprene washer between the bolt head and the flange of the sideframe.
3.
Place a green urethane vibration damper between the sideframe and the floor support.
