4-2-4 Mounting Plate Design Requirements
The plate to which the tools are mounted must maintain the following specifications:
 Plate must be Blanchard ground (to ensure sides are adequately flat and parallel) to a minimum
thickness of 15.88 mm (.625 inch) +/- .05 mm (.002 inch).

Chamfer all bores on both sides by 1.6 mm (.063 inch) x 45 degrees.

Tools must be mounted 1.6 mm (.063 inch) apart, at a minimum.
4-2-5 Locating Procedure for Fixtured Multi Spindle Powerhead
1. The locating of multi-spindle fastening equipment begins with a review of the floor layout and
assembly drawings. They must be checked for set-up dimensions and any special instructions. Once
the proper dimensions have been established, installation may proceed.
2. Verify the established dimensions of each of the following in order of precedence:
Conveyor - Whether this is new or existing machinery, this MUST be done first. Adjust to print as
required. NOTE 1
Pallet - Verify using several pallets. Make note of any variation for further alignment.
Machine base - Set base height and location while maintaining parallelism to the conveyor
NOTE 1 : If any dimensions do not match the prints or is severely out of adjustment, evaluate the
effect of the discrepancy prior to proceeding. Document any variations from print.
3. Once the conveyor, pallet and machine base are set to dimensions and level, the fastening equipment
can be installed. The head, fastening tools and spindle assemblies must be assembled and secured
to the slide assembly prior to locating the powerhead to the work piece. If push pull blocks are not
used to locate the powerhead to the slide, dowel pins should be install at this point
4. When locating the power head to the work piece, ensure that the work piece is located as it will be
during actual production. EXAMPLE: if there is a pallet locate and clamp, it must be in the clamp
position). Fasteners should be rundown fully to ensure that the alignment is perform with the
fasteners in their final fixed positions.
5. Next you should advance the power head slowly to check the alignment to the work piece. If there is a
misalignment left to right or up and down, the base must be moved using the leveling jack screws,
push pull blocks or provided spacers. The powerhead may be adjusted on the slide assembly if push
pull blocks have been utilized. Do not readjust the conveyor or the pallets.
6. When adjusting the alignment by moving the machine base left to right or up and down, the base must
remain parallel to the conveyor. Alignment is correct when all spindles, easily slip on and off of all the
fasteners, without causing any sticking, cocking or undue stress on the fasteners. This must be
performed on several work pieces and pallets to ensure correct alignment.
7. Once the alignment has been accomplished, adjustment of slide stops, shock absorbers and flow
controls must be done. Adjust the slide advance stops for 3/8" minimum spring preload on the
spindles when the fastener is secure (Refer to assembly drawing). Ensure that the spindle assembly
does not fully compress during any phase of the powerhead advance.
Setting of the flow controls is done with cycle time in mind. The speed of the slides should be set at a
smooth and even movement. The cylinder cushions and shock absorbers, if provided, should be set
to avoid any slamming at the end of the stroke.
8. When everything has been aligned and adjusted they should be locked down, tightened up and
anchored.
NOTE: Some of the locating equipment that can be used to install a fastening system may include a
precision level, indicators with magnetic base, a conventional transit or laser transit.
