1 Congratulations on aquiring a machine from our Pro Line. A few comments about the assembly of the machine. Please read this description through thouroughly before you begin. All screws are to be tightened only slightly - when the machine is completely assembled are they to be tightened firmly! * Firstly get an overview over the parts and check the BOM * Take a look at the pictures on the CD included * Power supply: The connection should be done by a professional. * Do NOT turn up the voltage on the power supply! - 24V are preset - the controller will blow if turned to more than 28V!! For assembly you will need the following tools: * A152 2/3/4/5/6 * Torx wrench T40 * Wrench SW 13 / 14 * Flat wrench 13mm * Mallet small * Oil/grease * Side-cutters small * Screwdriver small/medium * Sliding rule (calliper) * Tape measure * Centre punch * Small hand drill * Drill 2,5mm * Marker/pencil 1

2 Profile connector The profile connectors can be assembled in 4 directions Make sure that the sliding block slips into a groove The grub screw (headless screw) hast to be level with the top side 2

3 Profile connector Insert the Torx screw ( Torx T40 ) and screw lightly with a cordless screwdriver or ratchet! The screw forms the thread. A bit of oil or grease will make it easier. Don't screw in the screws completely, leave approx. 1mm air between head and sliding block. The sliding block should now "rattle" with a bit of backlash. TIP: Test screwing on the feet of the machine first - the threads have to be pre-formed (see page 5) 3

4 Underparts First lay out all parts belonging to the underframe on an even surface. Allocate the parts. The struts for the working area have to be inserted into the upper profile before assembling the 2nd front part. TIP: 2 flange bearings and the motor bracket on the Y axis should now be assembled to the front part. see page 7 You will need 16 profile connectors.. 4 connectors are needed per corner. Screw the connectors into the front and side parts the "long" way. If the connectors are assembled correctly, the corners can be slid open easily. Remember: Fasten all connectors lightly!! Under part Allen key 4mm The connectors are tightened with this screw. Moving or loosening is possible at any time. 4

5 Upper part Allen key 4mm The corner part hast to be level! The easiest way to assemble the frame is when it is placed on a straight, flat table, top side down. Assemble the machine feet after the frame has been put together Machine feet Assemble machine feet underneath on the inside. TIP! Pre-form the thread for the feet with a profile connector screw. To assemble place a M8 washer under the screw nut. SW 13 / 14 The machine can be adjusted by the feet later. The threads (4x) of the portal/gantry should also be pre-formed. 5

6 Shaft bearings for the spindles When assembling the frame, the bearings should be mounted also on one side - this saves time. Motorplate Y and motor should also be assembled when mounting the frame. Assembly: Place 4 slliding blocks M6 into the provided groove, flat side up!! Place screw M6x25 through the square punch hole in the bearing. Place distance role 7mm on to the screw M6x25 and screw together with sliding nut using a socket wrench SW5. Do not tighten, just screw in lightly. Mount the 2nd holding screw with distance role 7mm. Please remember to prepare the threaded spindles, spindle nuts, nut holder, drive belts and cogged pulleys and mount between the bearings before mounting the 2nd side bearing. The washer discs of the belt pulleys have to face outwards. Drive belt T5 650mm 6

7 Motorplate Y and motor Y The motors are fastened with screws DIN 912 4x50 In this order: 1. Screw 4x40 2. Spring washer 4mm 3. Motor 4. Distance role 25mm 5. Motorplate 6. Spring washer 4mm 7. Nut M4 8. Drive belt T5 305mm The motorplate with motor is mounted onto the front profile. Screw M6x30 Spring washer 6mm Motorplate Distance role 15mm Washer 6mm Slide nut M6 The exact positon of spindle and motor is determined after lateral carriage Y and connecting plate have been mounted 7

8 Mounting the guide rails Insert sliding block M8 from the side, raise and adjust with a small screwdriver. Mount screws M8 x22 without washer Nm. Don't forget: Screw in lightly, they will be tightend later on. Adjust and centre the guide rails for X and Y. Any adhesive residue remaining on the guide rails can be removed with e.g. WD-40. If the adhesive residue is too hard, you can remove with your fingernails. Adjust guide rail Y 51mm from the top side of the 90x45 profile Check the measurements at the ends and in the middle of the guide rail with a sliding rule (calliper). A small mallet or block of wood are good adjustment aids. Tighten screws M8 x Nm 8

9 Mounting the guide rails Mount both X axis guide rails on the same principle. Insert sliding nut. Insert screws. Adjust (centre in all directions) Tighten screws after mounting the X axis.. Centre the guide rails at the top and bottom. Tighten screws after mounting X axis. 9

10 Mounting the carriage Per carriage you will need: 4 screws M8 Spezial 4 washers 8mm 2 nuts M8 flat 2 grub screws (headless screws) M5x8 1 panel 4 ball bearings In this order: Screw M8 Spezial Ball bearing Washer Panel (2x Nuts M8 flat) Screw the guide bearings to the fixed side part. Press the M8 screws outwards on the loose side and fasten loosely Thread carriage on to guide rails and, using the grub screw M5x8, press loose bearing on to the guide rail. Not to tightly! Now tighten the screw M8 Try mounting first on a demounted rail. In order to tighten the screws when mounted, you will need a flat open-end wrench SW 13 The bearings must be backlash-free and run on the guide rails with a bit of resistance. 10

11 Mounting the portal/gantry and X axis Screw the portal side parts on to the side carriages using screws M8 x22 with washer or spring washer 8mm Watch out that the top 2 screw holes are on the proper side! See drawings and pictures. To mount the 2 retaining plates of spindle and motor X you will need 2 connection blocks with 4 screws M6 x25 and 4 sliding blocks. A slight displacement on the retaining plates is normal (old version) The connection blocks will later hold the retaining plates and are screwed together with M4 x35 spring washers 4mm and nuts. Please see photos on CD New side parts as of 01/2009 The flange bearing is mounted from the outside with M6 x25 and 2 distance roles. Do not tighten, just put in position. Drive belt T5 225mm 11

12 Mounting base plate Z The guide rail Z is mounted onto the base plate with screws M8 x 16. Screw the nut-holder onto the retaining plate, the position can be adjusted with a short Allen key later. Pre-mount retaining plate for nut-holder X, use the DIN 933 4x16 screws here (hex bolt) When inserting the threaded spindel, don't forget the cogged pulley and drive belt. Motorplate Z 12

13 The motorplate is fastened to the holding block with screws M4x35, 2 spring washers 4mm and M4 nuts. The motor is mounted with M4 x50 Please follow this order when mounting: Screws M4 x50 Spring washer Motor Distance roles 25mm Plate Spring washer Nut M4 Don't forget the drive belt! Drive belt T5 305mm Nut holder Z Mount the end switch on to the side of base plate Z with sheet-metal screws 2,9 x 6,5 use 2 large washersn 3mm Screw M4 x 16 in the guide together with a distance role and adjust the switching point The holes for the sheet-metal screws are not pre-drilled. Determine switch position and if necessary drill 2 holes with a distance of 10mm in the centre of the base plate - 2,5mm diameter 13

14 End switch X A distance role 5mm or 2 large washers 4mm need to be placed under the GRP platelet and a large washer 4mm under the screwhead. Wrap cable with spiral tape. Mount end switch with M4 x20, large washer and sliding block M4 Fasten the cables with cable ties to the self-adhesive mounting sockets Watch out that the guide carriage X doesn't squash the cables! Mount end switch Y with slide nut M4 and screw M4 x16 The end switches are screwed onto the platelet with screws M4 and nut Build a stop collar on the side part of carriage X with screw 4 x16 and nut 14

15 Secure the motor cables with spiral tape and cable ties Strain relief of cables X and Z There are cable clips mounted under 2 of the 4 screws Maintenance plan If you have aquired a pre-assembled machine, please check all screw connections on the machine - the frame parts in particular still "settle" (don't forget the underside of the mechanism) The inner braces are just assembled - not tightened! Guides: Wipe the guide rails before and after milling with a slightly oily rag. The ball bearings on the guides shouldn't be able to be rotated by hand, then you have the correct preload. Please don't press the bearings on too hard! ( lateral grub screw M5x8 ) Threaded spindles: For lubrication of the spindle use oil, grease collects dust and makes a grinding paste. Oil runs and takes the dirt with it Oil the spindles every 10 operating hours, 1-2 drops are enough (15w40) Readjust the nuts every operating hours (loosen on one side and press together) Bearing: Maintenance-free and lifetime-lubricated 15

16 The lid is fastened on each corner with 4 sheet-steal screws 2,9 x 6,5, these holes are not pre-drilled. Changes as of Following distance roles 5mm, 15mm and 25mm were replaced with distance roles 7mm, 15mm and 25mm made of plastic. Unter die Flanschlager in den Profilen kommt eine große U-Scheibe Das Lager liegt nicht mehr am Profil an. Vorteil: Die Maschine lauft etwas leiser, die Lager können die unwucht der Spindeln besser ausgleichen. Seitenteile bestehen jetzt aus einem Teil, zuvor waren es 3 Teile, die Montage ich viel einfacher. 16
