Fitting standard legs to the MRS
Two options are available for mounting the legs to the rail of the MRS. The direct fitting option allows legs to be attached onto the underside
of the rail. Using the step-back adaptor option allows legs to be fitted to the back of the rail and provides more measuring volume.
Recommended procedures for these two options are detailed in this section.
WARNING:
The MRS rail is shipped without the plastic end-caps fitted. Therefore there is a possibility that sharp edges could be
exposed.
Direct fitting of legs to the MRS rack
The method for directly fitting legs to the MRS rack is as follows:
1. Referring to the illustration below, slide the T-nuts (item 1) into the T-nut slot in the underside of the MRS rail (item 2), one T-nut is required
for each leg. Ensure that the longer portion of the T-nut is facing away from the end of the rail. The appropriate number of T-nuts should be
placed into the slot for the change port or rack device to be used.
2. Once all the T-nuts have been installed in the correct orientation, the plastic end caps (item 3) can be pressed into the rail.
3. Referring to the image below, connect the required number of legs and / or leg extensions (item 1) (up to a maximum of four per leg
assembly) and hand-tighten. The MRS leg-to-foot adaptors (item 2) can now be screwed into the bottom of each leg and hand-tightened.
4. Place the MRS legs into the MRS feet (item 3) on the CMM table and adjust the three grubscrews (item 4) so that the legs locate in the MRS
feet but are still able to rotate.
