2 Adjusting the belt
When the STM or the like has been replaced, it is necessary to adjust the belt tension. Perform the adjustment as shown in the figure below.
1
Remove the belt holder. (One screw)
2
For the proper belt tension, adjust the respective pulleys (asm.) so as to obtain the deflection described in the table below when a load of 0.98 N (100 g) is applied to the
midway of the belt, and tighten screws (two screws).
3 Adjusting the origin
[X origin]
Insert a gauge of 1 mm between the X drive felt B and the X drive shaft holder
presser, and adjust so that the X detecting switch (asm.) is turned ON when the X
drive plate (asm.) is shifted in the direction of the origin.

• If the belt is excessively tensed, the STM will step out.
• If the belt is insufficiently tensed, the belt will move lightly but skipping will occur.
• Before starting to adjust the belt, check the frame holder (asm.) and Y drive shaft, and X drive plate(asm.)
and X drive shaft. (Standard :The drive shafts need no lubrication. They automatically drop (slide)
when they are inclined by 45fl.)
Y detecting switch (asm.)
[Y origin]
Insert a gauge of 1 mm between the frame holder (asm.) and the Y drive shaft felt A,
and adjust so that the Y detecting switch is turned ON when the frame holder (asm.)
is shifted in the direction of the origin.
