3.2 Removing Fixing Brackets
The next step in the set up process is removing the red fixing brackets attached to the
machine. It is important to remove all of these brackets before attempting to turn on the
machine.
3.2.1 Procedure
1. Remove the red fixing brackets that are fixing the front of the module to the base.
There is one for every two M3(S) modules and one for each M6(S) module. Retain the
bolts that go into the front of the module. These bolts are used to fixed the module/
base covers.
2. Remove the red fixing brackets that are fixing the back of the module to the base. The
quantity of brackets exceeds the number of modules present by one (i.e., a 4M base
with two M3(S) modules and one M6(S) modules (three modules total) has four
brackets).
3. Remove the feeder pallet fixing brackets. There is one bracket for each module. The
fixing brackets are on the right side.
4. Remove the X- and Y-axis fixing brackets from each module. These brackets are
attached to the front of the left guide rail for the Y-axis. There is one per module. Do
not push on the side of the head or use the handle to try to move the head.
5. Remove the XS-axis fixing brackets from each M3(S) module. These are attached to
the right side of the heads.
Note: Remove any additional protection material from inside and outside the machine while removing the
fixing brackets. Be sure that the inside of the modules is clear of any shipping materials before
continuing.
WARNING
People with a heart pacemaker should stay clear of the Y-axis.
A heart pacemaker could malfunction due to the strong magnetic
field generated by the linear motor for the Y-axis in M6S modules.
CAUTION
Be careful of the magnetic attraction when using a jig near the
linear motor of the M6S. Injury could result by a jig being drawn
towards the linear motor.
Keep magnetic cards, wristwatches and other precision machines
away from the linear motor of a M6S module.
Damage to items may occur due to the magnetic field generated by
a linear motor.
