ROUGH L EVELING / ALIGNMENT
In this section, the APC will be set in place and roughly aligned to the VMC. When the alignment procedure is
complete, the rollers on the VMC receiver and on the APC base will be at the same height and aligned with
each other. In the "Fine Tuning" section, the APC will be aligned more precisely by adjusting variables in the
VMC control.
1. Remove the APC from it's shipping crate. Remove all tie-downs and strapping materials. Remove
the pallet shipping bolts, lift off the pallets and set them aside. Remove the door air cylinder and
the cable bundle from their storage positions in the APC pan.
2. Important! Before installing the APC, ensure the VMC has been installed and leveled. Also make
sure the APC jumper is installed in the"5th Axis" port on the side of the VMC control cabinet (see
Figure 11.16).

4. Insert the air cylinder rod into the door bracket, then attach the lock nut and washer to the bottom
of the cylinder rod.

towards the door. Insert the door air line into the fitting at the base of the air cylinder.
