Set-up and alignment – fixed system
Setting-up and aligning a fixed
system
The NC4 fixed system is supplied with the
transmitter and receiver units correctly set up.
After installing the system you will need to align
the system as described in this section.
Use the setting up procedure when it is
suspected that the transmitter and receiver units
have become misaligned.
WARNING: Before setting up and
aligning the fixed system, ensure the
machine is safe to work on.
Aligning the system
1. Run the beam alignment macro (see the
publication “
Non-contact tool setting system
programming guide
”.
2. If alignment is outside the values described
in “Alignment tolerances” on page 39, make
the appropriate adjustments to the system.
Do this as follows:
Aligning to the X/Y axes
(a) On the adjuster pack, slacken the two
locking screws.
(b) Align the fixed unit to the X/Y axis by
hand.
(c) Carefully tighten the two locking
screws, taking care not to move the
fixed unit.
Aligning to the Z-axis
(a) On the adjuster pack, slacken the two
locking screws.
(b) Adjust the two Z-axis adjustment
screws.
(c) Carefully tighten the two locking
screws, taking care not to move the
fixed unit.
3. Run the beam alignment macro again.
