Measure the idler spacing, which should all be evenly spaced, and enter
the result in Table 2–1 or Table 2–2.
Figure 2–8. Idler Spacing
Measure the angle of the conveyor (in degrees) and enter the result in
Table 2–1 or Table 2–2. An easy way to arrive at a measurement in
degrees for angle Ø, is to measure the length AC, divide by length AB,
and look up the cosine.
Figure 2–9. Conveyor Angle
If the conveyor slopes up, the angle is positive, meaning the conveyor
has a positive incline. If the conveyor slopes down, the angle is negative,
meaning the conveyor has a negative incline. The appropriate sign (+
or –) for the incline must be entered in the appropriate Micro-Tech menu
(see page 2-31).
