3.5.3 Jog The Trolley
To speed up the Homing procedure the Operator can jog the Trolley near the end of the Rail,
so it has less distance to travel to contact the X Axis homing switch.
3.5.4 Pre-Operational Drive Belt Check
Before beginning machine operations, it is important to check Drive Belt placement along the
entire length of the Rail. This is accomplished by jogging the Trolley the length of the Rail and
observing the tracking of the Drive Belt on the Drive Pulley and idler pulleys. Once the Dragon
A400 is powered up the Operator can use the jog controls to ensure the Drive Belt is riding in
its accepted position near the center of the Drive Gear.
! Caution !
When jogging the Trolley to the end of the Rail allow it time to decelerate. If the
Trolley contacts the end of the Rail the Operator will see a Machine Disabled signal.
This is a safety feature designed to protect the Dragon A400 from being damaged.
The Operator will need to click Enable Machine to resume machine operation.
Refer to Chapter 1 for proper Drive Belt mounting and tensioning.
All the Axes move in a negative direction to Home.
