Étape 17 - Alignment of Machining center to outfeed table

Machining center is aligned to the outfeed using the following

Grip pin setting jig

Laser level

2 meter straight edge

X axis position is determined by hepco rail travel at full extent and center clamp bar within machining center. The gap here should be approximately 75mm.

Y axis position is determined by the grip pin jig and the machining center backfence rollers. The grip pin jig must be used at 2 points for correct alignment . Infeed datum rollers and v notch datum rollers.

Ensure gripper pins fall freely and centrally into alignment jig when setting.

Only move Machining centre to adjust this position

Height is determined by the datum horizontal rollers in the machining center and the blue rollers on the outfeed table. Out feed rollers and platform should be less than 1mm below the Machining centre rollers

1. position machining center roughly in place on the end of the outfeed table
2. level using previous step
3. once the module has been levelled, final levelling of the outfeed x axis can be done , as it uses the machining center as a datum to hold the laser level

...Levels must be extremely accurate in the machining center +- 1 division for this step to be accurate

Place laser level in the rear datum roller section of the machining center

Position gripper carriage as close to the laser level as possible

Mark a horizontal line of the carriage plate as a height datum

Move the carriage to above the next section of frame feet and adjust the pair of jacking bolts to adjust line to be on laser level mark

Repeat this step above every pair of frame legs where jacking bolts are

...Make sure frame bolts are accurately rotated when adjusting as pairs. If this isn't done, y axis level will be lost and unnecessary strain will be added to frame sections

These steps will ensure the outfeed is now set on a dead flat plain

4. Use the pin jig to adjust the position of the machining center to allow the gripper pins to align with the jig at all points along the back fence rollers. hepco beam should also be moved from in to the out position also to double check this jig setting

5. Use laser against machining center rollers to cast a laser line along the outfeed. Pull the gripper as close as possible to the laser, and mark a vertical line on the gripper where the laser dot falls.

Move the gripper to the end of the hepco rail and check if the laser stop still aligns on the vertical line previously marked . If it doesn't , grip pin alignment will need re checking as it is crucial that both of these areas are correct

6 final height adjustment is set by using a 2 meter straight edge through the machining center rollers to the first set of rollers on the outfeed table. Machining center can be adjusted up or down to bring these rollers all onto the same height plain (-1mm maximum)

Étape 18 - Machining centre Infeed levelling

1. Levelling Y axis of machining centre infeed . This is done on the indicated face of the arms using a level . Only level the indicated arms as these are the only ones controllable by the jacking feet positions
2. Use a laser level placed on the levelled machining centre infeed rollers, and cast a laser line along the length of the infeed table. Ensure the beam is positioned so a reading can be taken from each circled point on the frame. Take a measurement from the first circled point with a steel rule of the indicated area. Replicate this measurement at all points indicated along the frame by Adjusting the legs in pairs to raise or lower the appropriate arm
3. When height setting to the machining centre, the whole frame can simply be jacked up or down to achieve the correct height in relationship to the machining centre

.Purge air onto active line of roller output to lift rollers for height setting

Étape 19 - Saw Machining centre Leveling

Saw machining module is levelled from the indicated point

Étape 20 - Aligning Saw to saw infeed

1. Y axis alignment

Saw back fence and saw infeed back fence are used for y axis alignment . Saw back fence should be slightly in front of saw infeed back fence. Around 1mm

2. X axis alignment

Frames should be marked to show measurement between frames to set this position . if not the defining factor is the gripper must not hit eject clamps when at full travel on x axis

...Remember to follow the same steps as machining center and using the laser to fine tune the saw infeed X axis height positions before finalizing the saw to saw infeed alignment

Étape 21 - Saw outfeed table levelling points

1. X axis of module is levelled from the two indicated points . Use a 2 meter straight edge between these points and an engineers level on top
2. y axis is levelled from these two indicated points . an engineers level rested on this face is sufficient for levelling
