installed system. Ensure together with the customer that proper material is available.

1.7 Decide where in the room to locate the system


In the Site Preparation Manual, a footprint showing the different installation alternatives for the XP
models is shown.
Use that information to decide where in the room to install the system. Mark on the floor the
position of the cutting table frame legs.

XP Installation manual

1.8 Decide space for temporary storage


Clarify together with the customer where to unpack the boxes.
Clarify temporary storage for packing materials etc.

1.9 Verify acceptable floor level


The floor prepared for the machine should meet the following requirements:
It should be level.
The flatness should be within +/- 5 mm (+/- 0.2).

1.10 Move the crates into the room


If possible, keep the equipment inside the crates until the crates are moved to the desired spot.
The system is shipped in a number of crates.
In the Site Preparation Manual, the weight and dimensions of the crates is specified.

1.11 Unpack equipment


Before unpacking, move the crate to a position where it is suitable in order to easily bring the
equipment to its final destination.
Take into account:

Minimize the distance you have to move the equipment.

Note the box orientation; avoid turning the equipment after unpacking.

Keep all transport latches in place as long as the equipment is moved.

1.12 Box orientation


Table top and frame boxes are marked as follows:

XP Installation manual

1.13 Unpacking sequence


The unpacking sequence highly depends upon the destination location.
A recommended sequence could be:
1. Unpack frame for table section 2 (frame 2).
2. Move frame 2 close to its final destination.
3. Unpack table top 2.
4. Mount and preliminary fix table top 2 on top of frame 2. About vacuum system mount, see
next chapter
5. Unpack frame 1.
6. Move frame 1 close to its final destination.
7. Unpack table top 1.
8. Mount and preliminary fix table top 1 on top of frame 1.

1.14 RWS shipped inside a table frame


If RWS is shipped inside the table frame, unpack in this sequence:
Remove the top and walls of the shipping box.
Lift the frame straight up and out.
Now the rest of the shipment is easy available.

1.15 Table top and vacuum system


During the process of moving the vacuum table
onto the frame, remove the vacuum tubes
entering the vacuum table (marked with red).

1.16 Lifting / handling the equipment


Due to heavy weight, care should be taken when lifting / handling mechanical pieces. In the Site
Preparation Manual, you will find a detailed description about how this can be done in a safe way.

10

XP Installation manual

1.17 Frame assembly


On the base frames, mount the foot screws
together with the locking nuts.
When mounting the screws, leave an
adjustment space as indicated at left. This
should allow for height adjustment of the
cutting table.
Place the frames on the footplates in the
position decided.

There should be washers beween the table


frame and the table top.
If suitable, mounting the washers can be
done afterwards.
Or put flat washers between the table base
and the tabletop.

Lift the table section on top of the frame.


Ensure the washer is in place.
Insert the alignment pins (in two corners).
Fix the table top to the frame.

11

XP Installation manual

1.18 Table top mount and alignment


Position the base frame for table
section 1 in a correct position
relative to walls etc.
Place table section 1 on top of the
base frame.
Loosely mount the table fixing
screws.
Use a waterpass on top of the
table surface and adjust the foot
screws until the tabletop is level
in both directions.
As the X-axis guides and racks
extends from the table body, we
have to be very careful when
handling the table section.
Place table section 2 on top of the
base frame.
Loosely mount the table fixing
screws.

Carefully slide table section 2


towards section one.
Stop in the position indicated at
left.
Adjust the height of table 2 to fit
with table 1.
Use a waterpass on top of table 2
and adjust until the tabletop is
level in both directions.

Carefully slide table 2 towards


section 1.

12

XP Installation manual
Use a high-quality water pass to
ensure correct levelling.

Using a tension belt as shown at


left on each side is recommended.
By this, you can move the table
slowly and controlled into correct
position.

Check the distance between each frame using measures from the figures on the next pages (all
numbers in mm).
Check these values:
Metric (mm)

1.21 Final check of table levelling


Use a waterpass on top of table 2
and check that the tabletop is
level in both directions.
Check that the table height of
section 2 fits section 1.

15

XP Installation manual
Ensure all frame foot screws have
proper contact to the floor. Tighten
up all foot screws.

Be careful not to turn the screws


and thus lift the frame leg.

16

XP Installation manual

1.22 Horizontal alignment X-axis guides


For this purpose, use the Guide
Adjustment tool prepared for XP.

One example:
You have to add shim in order to make
the guides meet perfectly.
The illustration is a top view showing
the joint between two X table sections
(X-guides).

Loosen one or more fixing screws on


the guide you are about to move.

Now, by adjusting the screw on the


adjustment tool, you force the guide
outwards, allowing insertion of shims.

The above procedure completes the horisontal adjustment of the guides.


In addition, you have to ensure vertical alignment of the two guides before the guides are fixed.

17

XP Installation manual

1.23 Vertical alignment X-axis guides


Use a steel pin (router bit) and move it along
the top of the guide.
When passing the joint between two guides,
ensure smooth movement (no resistance).

1.24 Align rack joints


For this purpose, mount a Dial Gauge
Puppitast on the Guide Adjustment tool
prepared for XP as shown.

To be able to measure
the height of the rack,
place a steel pin,
2mm, inside one and
one tooth.
In order to keep the
pin in place, it should
be magnetized using a
small permanent
magnet.
Just rub the pin against the magnet
before use.

18

XP Installation manual
Measure and adjust the height of the rack
on both sides of the joint until they are
even.

Fix the racks in this position.

Measure the height of the rack when the


measuring pin is in the joint.
All three heights measured should be
exactly equal in order to avoid mechanical
noise when the traverse is passing the
joint.

In order to achieve the optimal


adjustment of the rack height in the joint,
it might be necessary to loosen the foot
screws and carefully adjust the table top
level.

This procedure must be carried out for


both sides of the table.
Tighten up all foot screws and lock using
the locking nuts.
The rack adjustment is completed.

1.25 Frame and vacuum system


Complete vacuum system installation beneath the table top

19

XP Installation manual
The vacuum system shipped partly mounted
inside the frame.

This illustration shows the vacuum system in


correct position.
To enter the vacuum tubes into the vacuum
table, the vacuum system has to be lowered.

Use a set of tension belts to keep the vacuum


system up during table top mount.

Mount the vacuum tubes.

Carefully enter one and one vacuum tube into


the vacuum table.
Use the tension belt to keep the vacuum
system up during this process.

20

XP Installation manual
When in position, fix the vacuum system to the
frame.

1.26 Mount traverse onto table

Clean the racks and guides on the table before the traverse is mounted onto the table.
On the cutting table, remove the plus X end
stoppers.
The traverse should be entered from the plus X
side.

21

XP Installation manual
On the traverse, apply grease to the runner
blocks before the mounting tool rails are
mounted.
Ensure the mounting tool rails are inserted into
the runner blocks. These mounting tools should
be pushed out from the runner block as the
traverse is mounted onto the table.

With at least one person on each end of the


traverse, carefully lift the traverse up and slide it
onto the X-axis guides.

Note: As you see from the illustration, the


distances from the X-axis runner blocks in X1 and
X2 and to the traverse beam are not equal.
To ensure that the traverse beam is entered
correctly, parallel to the table, you have to look at
the traverse beam itself.

Insert the +X end stoppers.


Ensure the X end stoppers are properly mounted
as well.

22

XP Installation manual

1.27 Install table front / rear covers

1.28 Install the Cable Chain Bracket


Prepare for the cable chain.

1.29 Revolving work station


The Revolving work station is shipped completely assembled, ready to be mounted.
If more details are needed, RWS is discussed in a later chapter.

1.30 Mount MPU


Mount and fix MPU cabinet.
Connect and assemble the cables in a nice way beneath the top frame.

1.31 Measuring station


Mount the measuring station as shown at
left and connect the cable.

1. The cover around the measuring


station must be levelled equal to the
top of the cutting table.
2. The top of the measuring pad should
be 2 mm (5/64 inch) above the
surrounding level.

23
