Checking Drum Alignment
CHECKING DRUM ALIGNMENT:
Unless the machine was stressed during shipment, only fine adjustment should be necessary. Minor alignment
corrections can be done without relieving V-belt tension or adjusting the tension rollers but should be done without
any abrasive strips attached.
Using a flat piece of wood or metal as a thickness gauge, insert it between the
conveyor table and the primary (front) drum on the left (outboard) side of the machine (See Figure 26).
Raise the table up so the drum just contacts the Thickness Gauge. Then, *holding up the front tension roller ,
check at outboard side (Figure 7) of the drum to see that the drum is parallel to the table. If it is not, disengage the
right (inboard) Miter Gear (See Figure 8) , finely raise, or lower the right (inboard) side of the table to achieve
parallel alignment of the front (primary) drum. The distance between the conveyor table and both sides of the front
drum should be the same.
Reinstall the Miter Gear , aligning the set screw to the flat of the shaft.
