require adjustment. If the Carriage becomes loose or binds after installing the process
equipment, then the brackets must be removed and the problem corrected.

Figure 1. Carriage bolt hole pattern
The bolt pattern on the Carriage has been designed to facilitate process equipment
installation. The Carriage has thirty-four (34) M8x1.25 mounting holes with a depth of
0.52 inch (13 mm) to provide secure attachment points. The mounting holes are spaced
as shown in Figure 1. The Carriage also has two (2) 5mm dowel pin holes to be used
for process equipment alignment. (See Figure 1 for location) These dowel pin holes are
oversized to allow the pins to be glued into place using Loctite 609, or equivalent.
DO
NOT press pins into the AFD Carriage, as this will damage the Linear Rails.
CAUTION: The Fastener Tightening Torque Specs chart in Section 7.0 should be
used to determine proper fastener length and torque. This is to prevent pull-out
of the Carriage helicoil inserts. Fasteners must not exceed a depth of 0.52 inches
(13 mm) into the Carriage as this could damage the Linear Rails.
3.2 Mounting the
AFD92
The design of the
AFD92
force device allows attachment to a stationary table top fixture
or a robotic manipulator mounting flange. Specifying a -2 or -3 determines which
Mounting configuration is supplied. Adapter plates or "quick-change" attachments can
be used as well for mounting. The
AFD92
has two (2) 6mm dowel pins pressed into the
base for location and alignment of the Mounting Bracket.
