Installing the T3 OPX 

This chapter describes how to install the T3-OPX using the standard bracket and height control actuators on 

a one of the two TrojanLabel conveyor tables (MT1 or MT2). 

The operation of the mailtables are identical, only the dimensions of the conveyor tables separates them. 

MT1 is 600mm wide and 1500mm long (excluding feeder and catch trays) 

MT2 is 1000mm wide and 2000mm long (excluding feeder and catch trays) 

 

The image below shows the T3-OPX installed on MT1.
