2.6 Adjusting the Hardstops
Shock absorbing hardstops located on the head and tailstocks, prevent
the Positioner from rotating a full 360
°
. The head and tailstocks are
equipped with spring-loaded shock absorbers to absorb some of the
Positioner swingarm impact. It is important that the both the head and
tailstock swingarms strike the hardstop shock absorbers at approximately
the same time. Bolts on the headstock are used to ensure that both the
head and tailstock swingarms are striking the hardstops evenly. To adjust
the wedge blocks, proceed as follows:
1. Starting with the tailstock side of the Positioner rotate the swingarm
until the stop block on the swingarm on the “A” side just touches the
top of the shock absorber plunger bolt while ensuring the plunger bolt
does not compress using the programming pendent.
