4.3 Support Beam and Rail Alignment
4.3.1 Checking the Straightness and Level of the Support Beam
Ensuring the Support Beam is straight and level is
critical to accurate operation of the Dragon. During long
term operation the machine can come out of alignment,
or it can be accidentally bumped out of alignment by
shop personnel. This is especially true if the machine
has not been mounted to the floor of the shop.
1. Position the Trolley
Jog the Trolley to the front of the machine.
2. Check Machine Straightness
Use a taut string or a laser to determine if the Support Beam is straight. The operator can also
stand at the Tail or the machine and sight down the Support Beam. Any fluctuations in the
Support Beam are often visible when it is viewed in this manner. However, for best results,
always use a string or laser.
Note
Newer machines come with a string specific to the machine that is used for checking machine
straightness. Older machines do not.
3. Check Machine Level
To determine if the Support Beam is level lengthwise, place a Torpedo level on each joint of the
Support Beam. Place a Torpedo Level across the Rails to determine of the Support Beam is
level side-to-side.
Tools Needed
•
9/16 in. wrench
• Torpedo level
• String or laser
