4.0 Operation
4.1 Belt Media Installation and Removal
The SBS81 uses 2”, 3”, or 4” wide by 132” long Belt Media. To install new Belt Media,
verify the servo motor and robot are disabled, then position the Belt Media Tension
Release Lever towards the Contact Wheels of the SBS81, which releases the tension on
the Belt Media. Install new Belt Media over the Contact Wheel and the Tracking Wheel
as shown in Figure 4. Then tension the Belt Media by positioning the Belt Tension
Release Lever to its rearward position. To remove the Belt Media reverse the previous
steps.
Proper tension is required for each Belt Media width and type. The Belt Tension
Pressure Adjustment Knobs are located at the rear of the machine, see Figure 4. The
Belt Media tension should never be adjusted while the machine is operating. Belt Media
Tension Pressure Gauges are located on the top of the machine to allow accurate
setting of the pressure. The following chart is only a guideline for proper Belt Media
tension pressures. The user is responsible for contacting the Belt Media manufacturer
for the correct Belt Media tension.
