Variable Tooling Size Accommodations
The MotoMount system can adapt to small variations in tooling fixture
lengths without changing the tailstock’s performance or permanent
location. Two steps can be taken to adjust the tooling fixture distance.
4.6.4.1
Changing Adapter Shaft Position
The preferred way change the adapter shaft position is to simply slide the
tailstock adapter either way along the adapter shaft. If more adjustment is
needed, loosen the four tailstock bolts and slide the adapter shaft and the
tailstock adapter until a suitable position is acquired. These two processes
do not effect MotoMount’s performance. It is important that a minimum
distance is maintained between the tailstock adapter and the top of the
tailstock column.

Reinstalling the Adapter Shaft
Once the new position for the adapter shaft is found, torque the tailstock
bolts to 350 N•m (259 lbf-ft.).

Conducting a Safety/Operation Check
Before operating either MH-Series SIGMA-5 Positioner take a few
minutes to perform a safety/operation check. To perform a safety/
operation check, proceed as follows:
1. Check that all cable connections are tight.
2. Verify the headstock and tailstock are level and parallel.
