5.) Place appropriate protection to prevent damage and dust contamination to electronic
assemblies.
6.) Place the drill bushing inside each adjuster, to keep the hole vertical and centered within the
adjuster.
- Use the drill bushing to center the anchor holes in all adjuster locations, to provide
maximum lateral alignment capacity when you center the cradle on isocenter during
subsequent system testing.
- Take care not to injure yourself on the gantry cover brackets.
7.) Drill the holes perpendicular to the floor.
Important - Follow these guidelines when drilling anchor holes:
- While one person drills the holes, position a second person to watch the relationship
between the drill bit and floor. Make sure the bit remains absolutely perpendicular to the
floor throughout the drilling operation.
- Always use the mechanical guide when drilling.
- Stop drilling every 15 or 20 seconds and clear the hole of debris. This lets the drill bit cool
and helps to prevent binding of the drill bit.
- Vacuum while drilling to keep gantry and table as free of dust contamination as possible.
Place the funnel tip or long extension tip inside the hole.
A drywall dust filter must be used on the vacuum.
- Drill each hole until the mark on the drill bit is even with the top of the drill bushing. All
holes must be have a depth specified in Table 1-3, as measured from the top of the
adjuster to the bottom of the hole. (See Figure 1-57, on page 78) Use an upside-down
anchor to check the hole depth.
