Locating the bridge
The bridge can be located onto the machine with two people, with one person on each leg
of the machine. The person holding the right leg locates the leg over the granite rail, while
the second person holding the left leg maintains the bridge so that the top of the x axis is
level, and keep the bridge square to the granite rail, this is very important to do as very
little clearance between the airbearings on the right leg and the rail. If the left side is not
held square and level the angle will prove impossible to locate.
Consideration must be paid to the trailing cables, and also the airbearings, the bearings
are held against the leg by small pieces of double sided tape, check the tape is still
capable of holding the bearing, otherwise replace with a new piece.
DO NOT ADJUST
THE SCREWS BEHIND THE BEARINGS
– THEY ARE FACTORY SET FOR XY
SQUARENESS
The left leg packaging should stay on the leg and only be removed once the bridge is
located.
If you are careful you can remove the protective
paper without losing the air bearing location.
Remove 3 sides of the sticking tape then apply
a small amount of lift to the x beam whilst
pulling on the last piece of tape.
Once removed please ensure the airbearing is
located properly, if not located properly form
errors will be present during inspection.
Only remove
once the bridge
is on the
machine
