PROCEDURE
– SQUARING THE MACHINE
The machine may become out of square if the bridge is pushed while power is off.
This can also occur during shipping and handling
– while moving the machine to its
final location.
Since the bridge was squared at the factory, the bridge bolts should still be in their
factory set location and should not be loosened. Instead, the machine can easily be
squared again by adjusting one side of the bridge relative to the other. This can be
done by removing power to one of the drive motors (while the other drive motor
maintains its position) and pushing the bridge to its square position.
Tools needed: Magnetic base dial indicator;
carpenter’s square; feeler gauges
or calipers
1. Determine how much out of square the machine is:
•
Cut a 24” x 24” square plate
•
Determine its squareness by checking it with a carpenter’s square and
feeler gauges (calipers can be used in lieu of feeler gauges)
•
Multiply the out of square amount by the distance between Y-axis
pinions divided by the width of the square (24”).
o
For 48” wide machines, the distance between pinions is 68”
o
For 60” wide machines, the distance between pinions is 80”
•
For example, if the 24” square is out of square by .010”, and the
distance between pinions on a 60” machine is 72”, then the gantry
needs to move .010” x (80/24) = .033”
2. Set a dial indicator up against the gantry cover on the Y2 side of the machine
(side opposite the cable carrier side)
