ZX4 Infeed Roller Reinforcement

The design of the ZX4 Infeed Table was such that the first roller was located by a single block, of which was attached to the first arm by 2 bolts and a single dowel. The clearance on the two bolt holes meant that the block could rotate slightly around the dowel, resulting in the roller having a large potential deflection when load was put on it.

Introduction

A plate has been designed to strengthen the installation of the first roller.

Étape 1 - Remove the 2x M8 bolts as shown.

Étape 2 - Align Infeed roller block

Étape 3 - Remove the new strengthening bracket.

Étape 4 - Drill and tap into the infeed roller block

Reinstall strengthening bracket with 2x M8 x 16 Bolts (F0000023) into the infeed roller block, and the 2x M8 x 25 Bolts (F0000025) into the infeed arm.

Étape 5 - Recheck alignment of infeed roller
