Now you must turn the cutting bar 180º and cut the
second end of the belt so the scrap/unusable piece will
not be part of the belt. Both egdes of the belt must be
cut so that both the final ends are usable (1/2
pitch+2 to 3mm).
Place double-sided tape on both sections of the Pliers.
Cut the tape away from the teeth grooves in the base.
Position the locator bar as per normal operation of 3mm
-5mm belt, and then slide it until one of the positioning lines
is in the center of the groove. (Photo 8)
The end result is that both ends of the belt will have a
combined pitch of SuperDrive™ tooth pitch + 3-4mm.
When welding the belt, those 3-4mm will melt and the
final pitch should be the exact pitch needed.
A pitch of - (Minus) 1 to 2mm is acceptable.
Remove the protective paper from the double-sided tape on one side and position the belt. The difference in working
with the SuperDrive™ belt is that you must position the teeth over the groove before bringing the rest of the belt into
contact with the tape. To make this easier mark the center of the tooth on the top side of the belt and aline it against the
central positioning line.Press the belt against the locator bar and onto the tape to ensure a firm, consistant contact
(Photo 8).
Position the second belt end against the locator bar and fix
the belt with the cross bar. (Photo 9)
Position the FBW Welder in place. Weld the belt
according to the welding instructions in the FBW Manual.
Check the pitch; pitch larger than normal is not acceptable,
however welding results with pitch up to 2mm shorter is
acceptable.
Check the weld for any cracks or bubbles, if needed cut the
belt and rejoin it (you will lose about 80mm from the belt length).
