INCLINED OPERATION OF TC-3
1. The beam should have a Knurled Drive Flange and the
CAUTION
When the carriage is used in an inclined application the unit is free to move whenever the Carriage Release Handle is pulled down. This may happen even if a counter balance weight is used. With a prop- er counterbalance and if the flux hopper and wire reel(s) are mounted off of the carriage, this “free- wheeling” is less likely to occur since the changing weight will not affect the counterbalance.
2. With a tilt of 5° or less, a counterbalance is typical- ly not required (see CAUTION).
3. A tilt in excess of 5° will require a counter weight as shown in Figure A.10. The amount of coun- teweight will depend on the tilt angle and the amount of load on the carriage. Beam angles should be limited to 10° or less.
