Drum Alignment
For the Model G1066/G1066Z/G1079 Drum Sander to function properly, the sanding drums must be aligned in two directions: (1) perpendic- ular to feed direction (Figures 5 and 6) and (2) parallel to the conveyor belt.
Figure 6. Sanding drum parallel to feed belt.
In order to make the above adjustments, it is nec- essary to know how to adjust the bearing blocks.
To adjust the Model G1066/G1066Z/G1079 bearing blocks:
1.Loosen the lock nuts (See Figure 7) on one of the bearing blocks on the drum that requires adjustment.
2.Raise or lower the bearing block by rotating the setscrews (See Figure 7). Turn very gradually 1⁄8 of a turn or less.
