System Installation
Assembling the Guideway
The guideway with the motor mounts must be located and attached to stands or other equip-
ment as required. Each guideway section must be connected to the guideway sections on
either side of it to form the complete system layout. The layout can be broken into sections for
ease of assembly. When breaking the layout into sections, make sure that each section is as
self-contained as possible.
NOTE:
Before completing a closed guideway, add the vehicles by sliding them onto a sec-
tion of guideway that has been installed (see
Leveling the Transport System
Once the track assembly is complete, make sure that it is properly located and that all sections
of the track are level.
1.
Establish a datum for the system (interface to existing equipment, and so on).
2.
Use a laser level to identify the datum throughout the installation area.
3.
Make sure that all sections of the track are level and correctly referenced to the datum
and adjust the track as necessary.
Securing the Transport System
Secure the QuickStick HT transport system to the floor to help prevent system movement.
Tie-downs for facilities that require earthquake protection are the responsibility of the user.
Secure the transport system to the floor and to any other equipment as required.
Mounting the Motors
The motors must be attached to the motor mounts on the guideway (see
for an overview) using the mounting features built into the motors. Make sure that
all motors are flat and level once mounted.
1.
Locate all QSHT motors (if not already installed) by placing the bottom of the motor
on the motor mounts installed on the guideway. Secure the motor to the mounts using
M6 bolts and M6 split lock washers through the motor mount into each threaded
mounting hole on the motor and finger tighten.
NOTE:
Locking features such as thread locker or lock washers must be used.
NOTICE
Make sure that the transport system is properly grounded to
safety ground (earth).
