2-24 Setting Up and Using Laser Alignment Fixtures
Attaching Excess Chain
One of the problems with using chains as a mounting bracket is that the excess
chain flops and can cause errors. CSI’s Laser Alignment Fixtures provide solutions
for this problem.
Two slots are provided (one on either side) to take up the slack. As shown in the
following photographs, you can use either or both of the slots as needed. The order
of use is not important. In fact, the L-slot cannot be used when mounting to shafts
(or couplings) greater than 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter. When fastening the
chain into the T-shaped slot, the rubber block will hold the chain in place.
The photograph below illustrates using the T-shaped slot; see the following page for
an example using the L-shaped slot.
