Étape 1 - Unless otherwise stated

Use Loctite 243 on all fasteners

Use Loctite 572 on all threaded pneumatic connection

Pen mark all fasteners to show finalised

Étape 2 - Attach leadscrew sleeves

Fit pre assembled leadscrew sleeves to front and rear Z axis

Bearing fit and solvent if bearing fit is loose

Captivate with Z housing cap

Étape 3 - Fit front leadscrew

Slide onto leadscrew nut Z nut housing

Insert into frame leadscrew

Fit z nut housing to tie beam

Étape 4 - Fit rear leadscrew

Slide onto leadscrew nut Z nut housing

Insert into frame leadscrew

Fit z nut housing to tie beam

Étape 5 - Fix Z axis leadscrews to sleeve

Align dimples and fix with M8 x 12 kcp grubscrews

Repeat other side

Étape 6 - Fit top bearings to leadscrews

Fit 2 off bearings to top of each leadscrew. Use bearing and solvent if loose .

Captivate with circlip

Étape 7 - Fit double cylinder brackets

Fit double cylinder mounts

Ensure blocks are fitted flush

Étape 8 - Loose fit sprockets

Attach sprockets to leadscrews . Do not finalise fasteners

Étape 9 - Fit chain slide

Fit chain slide to top bar

Étape 10 - Attach z axis chain

Attach Z axis chain around sprockets

Ensure chain join clips are facing upwards

Étape 11 - Attach chain tensioners

Attach chain tensioners to top bar

Ensure mounting at highest point up (clearance in fixing holes )

Étape 12 - Adjust sprocket height

Measure height of tensioner sprockets from top bar and set drive sprockets to same measurement

Use verniers

Apply final tension to driven side (side with servo motor mounting point)

Étape 13 - Tension chain

Tension chain by using adjusting grubscrew on tensioners

Set chain tension to remove slack

Sam, Can you measure the amount of chain flex once set correctly please

Étape 14 - Remove slave side support

Remove slave side bearing support

Étape 15 - Fit level to y axis shaft

Fit engineers level to Y axis shaft

Étape 16 - Adjust slave side

Adjust slave side relationship between sprocket and leadscrew by rotating leadscrew with sprocket fixings loose

Adjust to bring shaft level

Étape 17 - Tension sprocket

Check sprocket height is still correct then apply final tension to fixings in sprocket

Étape 18 - Drill leadscrews

individually remove fixing grubscrews, dimple leadscrew through sprocket with 5mm carbide drill, clean swarf, apply adhesive and refit grubscrew

Repeat for all 4 fixing grubscrews in sprockets

Étape 19 - Check Z axis movement

Remove 2nd axis support and allow Z axis to move to bottom of movement

Wind by hand to top travel by rotating leadscrew, then again to bottom

Movement should be smooth and consistent with no tight spots

Étape 20 - Fit servo mount block

Fit servo mount block to driven side

Ensure access hole is facing rear

Dry fit fasteners, apply light tension

Étape 21 - Attach servo motor

Attach servo motor

Ensure motor is orientated correctly , and servo plug is facing the correct way

Trial fit motor, ensure motor fits into servo mount block easily. Adjust position of servo mount block if interference is evident

Once fit is acceptable, finalise fasteners in servo mount block and final fix servo motor in position with bolts

Add locking grubscrew to keyway on motor

Étape 22 - Check rotation of leadscrew

Check rotation of leadscrew hasn't been compromised by fitting of servo motor

Étape 23 - Fit support cylinders

Fit support cylinders

Étape 24 - ecr raised for Z axis chain mounting block

D0001271 requires drilling to suit energy chain mounting bracket

Also requires 45 degree cut off to clear v notching

2 off M5 tapped holes for energy chain mounting

Étape 25 - Fit energy chain mounting point

Fit energy chain mounting point

Étape 26 - Assemble energy chain

Assemble energy chain at 24 links long plus brackets

Étape 27 - Attach energy chain

Use button heads to attach energy chain at both points
