Vehicle Orientation
When installing the precision rail vehicles, they must be installed with the eccentric bearings
on the outside, or stand side, of the rails. This position locates the magnet array over the
motors and orients the bearings to allow motion through the curves. Figure 7-44 shows the
orientation of the bearings on a precision rail vehicle in relationship to the track system.

Removing Vehicles by Removing Rails
The single or dual array vehicles can be removed from the precision rail system by removing
a precision rail section.
1. Stop all motion on the path where the vehicle is being removed.
2. Remove a small section of the precision rail by removing the M5 screws that secure it
to the spine plates.
3. Move the vehicle to be removed to the open section and lift it out.
NOTE: Once vehicles are removed from the transport system, they must be stored in
their original packaging or wrapped in bubble-wrap to help protect the vehi-
cle and to minimize any safety risks.
4. Replace the removed rail section.
A. Position the rail over the edge of the spine plates. Align the letters that are
engraved on the end of each rail segment with the rails on the system.
B. Position the mounting holes in the rail over the spine plate holes.
C. Secure the rail to the corresponding spine plates using M5 SHC screws.
Tighten each screw to 1.8 N•m [16 in•lb], follow the sequence that is shown in
Align and Secure Rails to Spine Plates on page 288.
5. Return the MM LITE transport system to normal operation.
