Assembling the Column
Installation Manual Version 001 BRUKER 17 (167)
Measure the distance from the top of the shim system of the magnet to the
ground. If the Column is fitted with a base plate, then measure from the top of the
shim system to the top of the base plate (figure 4.1
). In either case subtract 0,5
cm from the measurement. This is the length that the column needs to be from the
bottom of the square column piece to the top of the belt of the cabinet. You will
need this measurement for the assembly of the column.
Assembling the Column 4.6
Refer to Figure 4.5. for this step.
Assemble the two column pieces, placing the square piece over the round piece.
Using the measurement obtained in section 4.4
align the distance of the bottom
of the square piece to the top of the belt of the cabinet. It is important for the
proper operation of the sample changer that this length matches the distance from
the ground (or the top of the base plate for the column assembly) to the top of the
shim system minus 0,5 cm.
Fasten the two column pieces together by placing the four vertical locking mecha-
nisms in the inside corners of the square column piece. Recheck the length of the
column as described above, and adjust if necessary.
Slide the square clamp downwards until it sets over the locking mechanisms.
Tighten the clamp securely. Slide the clamp cover downwards until it sets firmly
against the square clamp.
