this, manual pressure is used to affect alignment (note that this is a very fine adjust-
ment method). Refer to
Connect and Secure G3 Motors and G3 Switches
for details of the alignment procedure.
Once the V-braces are firmly secured, the joint should be as perfect as possible and
biased to minimize noise for bidirectional vehicle travel. It is prudent once this opera-
tion is complete to check that no issues are present by making sure a vehicle (puck) is
able to travel across this joint with no apparent binding.
6.
Once the V-brace is secured the bolts on the motor mounts that attach to the custom
motor mounting surface and to the motor for that V-brace can be tightened. Ensure that
the motors and motor-to-motor connections are not distorted by over tightening the
motor mounts.
7.
Once all the motor to motor joints have been secured with the V-braces in the manner
described above, a final verification of all the joints should be made and it should be
verified that the vehicles (pucks) can go around the track with no binding on the guide-
way. Refer to
Verify Motor and Switch Installation
for details of the veri-
fication procedure.
8.
Once all motor mounts are secured to the motor mounting surface make sure the vehi-
cle (puck) is able to travel across all motors and joints with no apparent binding. If
binding is detected, make adjustments as required to eliminate the binding.
