Installation and Operation 

  (1). General construction (Fig.6) 

The  SM5C  Straight  Line  Edging  Machine  consists  of  an  Input  Conveyor,  Glass  Support  Rack, 

Main  Machine,  and  Output  Conveyor.  It  is  important  to  set  the  machine  up  on  a  level  surface  or 
level it if setting up on an uneven surface. 
(2). Lifting (Fig.7) 

Two lifting rings are on the main machine and are the recommended way to lift the machine. 

Use wire cables and a crane to lift the main machine to the installation position. After positioning 
the main machine onto the feet (see below), remove the lifting rings. Install glass support rack, input 
and output conveyors and pull rods. 
(3). Machine Installation and Leveling Adjustment 

 

Set  up 

6

  Shock  Absorber  Feet  as  shown  in  the  photo  at  right.  Thread  a 

square-head bolt into each foot until it touches the metal plate inside the foot.   

 

Lift the Main Machine Body and install 6 Foot Pad Assemblies. Add washers 
and nuts to each bolt but do not tighten them down yet. 

 

Place a level on the front conveyor guard. Raise the low side by turning the 
square  bolt  heads  clockwise  until  the  machine  is  level,  side  to  side.  Now 
adjust the rear feet to maintain a 5 degree tilt-back. This is the standard angle 
to keep glass secure on the conveyors. The machine is made with the 5 degree 
tilt built in. If the adjustment of the feet is not enough to get the machine level, 
insert flat metal shims between the foot and the machine. 

 

With the machine level, tighten the top nuts down securely while holding the 
square bolt head. 

 

Install the conveyors and assemble the feet onto the conveyor legs the same way 
the  machine  was  set  up.  Use  a  level  on  each  conveyor.  The  conveyor  can  be 
leveled further with its own adjusters. See Figure 10. 

(4). Electrical Connection 

 

The power source box on the backside of the main machine is for connecting the 
power source. Use 3-phase, 4-wire cables to connect the power source, and make sure there is a 
good ground connection. Running the machine, check the conveyor running direction, in case 
the direction is opposite from the direction on the switch, change one pair of wire connections. 
Be sure the machine is wired according to local codes. You may want a licensed electrician to do 
the wiring for you. 

 
Caution: Before machines are shipped, all motors are connected for correct rotation direction; 
do not change the motor connection at will.
