ShopBot PRS Assembly Manual Page -42
The Echain comes in the length to match
the width of the Y-axis of the ShopBot
ordered. These Echains are center
mounted so the Echain itself will not
physically extend from the end plate to
the Y-upper Echain bracket.
The Y-lower Echain bracket (002161-01)
mounts to the top of the Y-beam extrusion
and holds the Echain at a fixed location near
the center of the gantry. Location of this
bracket differs on various width ShopBots. A
chart is included later in the instructions..
One of the specialized pieces of mounting
hardware is the 5/16-18 Twist in T-Nut
(002240-01). Two of these are used to
mount the Y-lower Echain bracket to the Y-
beam extrusion. They slide into the slot of
the extrusion and turn 90˚ when tightened.
The last piece of specialized hardware is the
cable carrier (002282-01). These slip inside
the slot of the Y-beam extrusion and turn
90˚ to help with wire management for
cables going through the Echain. Zip ties are
used in combination with these to achieve
this.
Other hardware used to mount these will be called out through out this document when
needed.
