4.4.2: Installation, example
1) Install the two systems; the (x-y) system and the basic rail system.
• The overhang on the secondary rail is not allowed to exceed 200 mm from the center of the parallel rail.
If a longer overhang is used there is a risk for bending the rail.
• The distance between the secondary rail and the fixed rail of the basic rail system must be 1-2 mm.
a) Before mounting the primary rails on the (x-y) system;
insert clasp nuts for the adjustable stop plate into
the rail that faces the fixed rail of the basic rail system.
b) Mount the ball screw on one of the traverse trolleys.
Place the trolley in the same primary rails as the adjustable stop plate.
c)
Before mounting the secondary rail on the (x-y) system; install the gate (small) on the end of the secondary rail.
Drill a safety hole through the rail using the hole in the gate (small) as a guide. Make sure that there is a gap
between the gate (small) and the secondary rail after the safety screw has been mounted.
d) Before mounting the fixed rail of the basic rail system; install the gate (big) on
the end of the fixed rail.
Drill a safety hole through the rail using the hole in the gate (big) as a guide.
Make sure that there is a gap between the gate (big) and the fixed rail after the safety
screw has been mounted.
2) Mount the secondary rail onto the trolley sets in the (x-y) system.
