ENGINEERING MANUAL
DTS-C finger comb installation
The DTS combs are equipped with oblong holes, which are centered at 76.2 (3”) pitch. These oblong
holes are used to bolt the combs onto the supporting profile. The supporting profile should be drilled
with M6 holes at 76.6mm pitch. Using 76.6mm pitch enables the combs to accomodate thermal
expansion over the full width of the machine. It is recommended to use RR2000 belts with Positrack
to ensure thermal expansion is equal to both sides.
Note:
Please note that the supporting beam and strip must be straight and level, and strong
enough to prevent deflection.
Drilling holes for comb fixing (sizes in mm)
All DTS-C modules should be placed level. To ensure the DTS-Comb can slide sideways in order to
follow on the thermal expansion of the belt we recommend to fit the original shouldered screws only.
These screws are supplied with the combs (2 each). Do not overtighten the bolts (max. 13 Nm).
Note:
For belts wider then 5500mm or temperatures above 90°C at the in/outfeed, please contact
our Techical Support Department for calculating the recommended pitch of the screws.
