Introduction

The ZX5 machine can be tricky to align as there are many adjustments designed into the table to offset manufacturing tolerances. This step by step guide follows the correct protocol to ensure the starting point and sequence of alignment is correct

Étape 1 - Ensure alignment of module A, B and C on machining centre side

• Check backfence roller alignment to infeed
• Check roller heights to infeed and outfeed

Étape 2 - Linear Beam check - straightness and level

• Straightness of MH side with laser level
• Levelness of MH side with carriage plate

• Straightness of saw side with laser level
• Levelness of saw side with carriage plate
• Parallelism of hepco beams to each other with tape rule

Adjust to get this correct - adjust frames on floor if not parallel

Étape 3 - MH Roller bed height adjustment to gripper base

• Fixed distance 2-3mm
• Has to be clear of transfer beams in the up position

Étape 4 - Saw Roller bed height adjustment to gripper base

• Fixed distance 2-3mm
• Has to be clear of transfer beams in the up position

Étape 5 - Popup Alignment MH side

• Alignment of the popup ins on crank C, D, E to hepco
• Using Hepco as datum, ensure they are parallel

Étape 6 - Grip jig alignment on MH side

Étape 7 - Popup Alignment / Overlap Saw side

Étape 8 - Set backfence parallel to hepco and overlap with popup correct

Étape 9 - Grip jig alignment to backfence

Étape 10 - Saw Fence Alignment

• Backfences aligned
• Front fences aligned
• Back and front parallel

Étape 11 - Infeed to saw module alignment

• Saw module level
• Eject beds level and aligned
• Backfence 0-1mm in front of infeed backfences
• Beds 0-1mm above infeed rollers

Étape 12 - Outfeed push bar alignment

• Pusher bar is behind saw rear rollers
• Pusher bar is straight
