LIGNMENT
In this section, the APC will be set in place and roughly aligned to the VMC. When the alignment procedure is
complete, the rollers on the VMC receiver and on the APC base will be at the same height and aligned with
each other. In the "Fine Tuning" section, the APC will be aligned more precisely by adjusting variables in the
VMC control.
1.
Remove the APC from its shipping crate. Remove all tie-downs and strapping materials. Remove
the pallet shipping bolts and install the socket set screw plugs with Loctite (see Figure 3.1). Lift
off the pallets and set them aside. Remove the door air cylinder and the cable bundle from their
storage positions in the APC pan.

2
Remove pallet shipping bolts
and install 1/2”-13 plugs. Use
Loctite. Visually check to verify
that plugs do not extend into
roller channels.
It is important to
install the plugs to prevent chips
from falling under the pallets and
causing possible damage.
Figure 3.1 Removal of Shipping Bolts
CAUTION!
The pallets have wipers on the bottom of the clamp rails at the VMC
end. These wipers should overhang any temporary storage position.
2.
Important!
Before installing the APC, ensure the VMC has been installed and leveled. Also make
sure the APC jumper is installed in the "5th Axis" port on the side of the VMC control cabinet (see
Figure 3.2).
