Introduction/Safety/Installation 8 SG9M Manual
Machine Installation:
Location:
The productivity of the SG9M will depend a great deal on the proper initial installation. Pay particular
attention to the means by which work pieces are lifted into and out of the machine as well as the material
handling to and from other operations in your shop. The proper loading arrangements and work location
for your SG9M is extremely important.
For shops where large production runs are anticipated, the work pieces should be loaded and unloaded
directly from a conveyer. If this is not the case, we suggest you pay considerable attention to the crane
so that it covers an adequate area to allow the operator to back up and remove work pieces without
creating a cluttered, dangerous work area.
Unpacking and Lifting:
Use care when removing the crate materials from the machine. Be careful not to use force on any part of
the machine.
Remove the shipping screws (4) from the skid; the shipping brackets will be painted red for easy
identification. These screws are located at the four bottom corners of the Main Base.
CAUTION
THIS MACHINE IS TOP-HEAVY. Use care when lifting and moving Machine. Approximate shipping
Weight of Machine is 2800 lbs. (1258 kg).
Positioning the Machine
:
Lift Machine using a fork lift. Move fork lift to front of Machine and separate forks so they are visually
centered. Insert forks under front-center of Machine, using care not to damage Foot Pedals Valve or Air
Lines. Tilt forks slightly upward so Machine will lean toward fork lift and lift Machine.
While Machine is on fork lift, install five (6) Leveling Screws and Jam Nuts in holes provided in bottom of
Machine Base. Two (2) Screws installed in rear-corners and one (2) Screw installed in front and rear -
center of Machine Base will serve as Leveling Screws; while two (2) Screws installed in front-corners of
Machine Base will serve only as Support Screws.
Move Machine to desired location and placed leveling bolts over the center hole of the Leveling Pad. Be
certain to allow sufficient clearance to allow access for leveling and also for connecting air and electrical
lines. Lower machine onto leveling pads making certain that the leveling bolts align into counterbore on
leveling pads.
Be certain nothing interferes with air or electrical lines running from the floating head assembly to the
cabinet. Determine there is no possibility of air or electrical lines dragging on wall surfaces or adjacent
machinery.
Wipe top Rails with a clean, dry cloth to remove protective shipping oil.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to move the Work Head unless Air Supply is connected, and air valve is turned on, and
foot Pedal is depressed, allowing Head to float on Rails apply (WD40) or similar degreaser and flow the
work Head side by side to remove all the shipping oil from under the work head. (Top Upper surfaces rails
should be clean and free of oil).
