ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
TRAVERSE BELT TENSION
To adjust the tension on the traverse belt, tighten
the screws and nuts located to the left side of the
traverse belt behind the left side cover panel to a
minimum of 1.75" [44 mm]. The traverse belt
should be level when adjusting the belt tension.
TRAVERSE CLAMP FORCE
If the traverse clamp is slipping during regular
operation it may become necessary to adjust the
clamp tip location. To adjust the clamp tip, loosen
the jam nut and rotate the clamp tip. The clamp tip
should be adjusted to the dimension specified in
FIG 18. To measure, move the traverse belt out of
the way. Measure the clamped distance from the
clamp tip to the clamping block (shoe). To secure
the new position, jam the nut against the clamp
being careful not to move the clamp tip.
If there is not enough adjustment in the clamp tip,
the bracket that supports the clamp can also be
adjusted. The bracket is slotted, to adjust loosen
the two screws that are hold the bracket in place
and slide the bracket forward or back. Then
retighten the screws, make sure they are tight or the
bracket will move during clamping. Check the tip
distance and make any necessary adjustments.
THE TIP HAS BEEN FACTORY SET SO THAT
IT WILL SLIP IF THE GRINDING HEAD
ASSEMBLY COMES IN CONTACT WITH
SOMETHING. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED
AS ADJUSTING THE TIP WILL AFFECT THE
SLIP LOAD AND COULD DAMAGE THE
CLAMP TIP, BELT OR TRAVERSE DRIVE
SYSTEM.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
OVERTIGHTENING COULD
DAMAGE THE BELT OR
TRAVERSE DRIVE SYSTEM.
