7.2
Mounting a spacer
When the DSA100 is delivered the required spacers are usually already
mounted.
7.2.1
Threads for mounting spacers and axes
Each of the spacers has three threaded holes for screwing onto a different spacer
(S) and four threaded holes at the corners for screwing an axis (A) onto the spacer:
Mount the spacer on top of the already mounted spacer using the three
hexagon socket screws provided.
In rare cases the spacer must be mounted on the base plate of the DSA100.
7.2.2
Replacing an axis with a spacer
If an axis must be removed or replaced by a spacer, proceed as follows:
1. Move the installed x or y axis out of the center to that the fixing screws are
released.
With software-controlled axes: please consult the software manual to see
how the axes are moved.
2. Remove all available cable connections from the axes.
