Alignment for running accuracy Due to the manufacturing process of the extruded profiles, a linear axis has a certain tolerance in terms in straightness and twist. The deviations are generally well within the specifications of EN
Perform the following lateral alignment procedure for running accuracy.
The mounting surface must be machined smooth and flat.
First, slightly tighten the screws of the slot nuts or the clamping claws.
Provide a reference plane alongside the linear axis.
Place a dial gauge onto the carriage.
Move the carriage and record the deviation with reference to the ref- erence plane over the entire stroke.
Correct the deviations by lateral alignment of the linear axis and by tightening the screws appropriately. Observe the standard tighten- ing torques 47.
4.2.3Mounting the contact plate
A contact plate must be mounted to the carriage for the inductive sen- sors. Fastening threads are located at both sides of the carriage.
Unless otherwise specified, the standard tightening torques indicated on page 47 apply.
Before mounting See chapter 7 "Accessories and spare parts", subchapter 7.5 "Sensors and additional parts" for suitable contact plates.
You need a set of Allen keys.
Clean all parts you will use.
Check all parts for damage; repair damages.
Procedure |
For mounting, select the side of the carriage that will be easily accessible for service.
Screw the contact plate to the carriage with M4 screws.
Align the contact plate in parallel with the carriage so as to have the same switching distance on both sides.
