OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ALIGNING REELS IN THE HORIZONTAL PARALLELISM
THIS IS A CRITICAL SET UP AND CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN MAKING THESE
ADJUSTMENTS. IF REEL IS OUT OF POSITION
IN THE HORIZONTAL PLANE, IT WILL BE
GROUND CONE SHAPED. SEE FIG. 50.
1. Move set up gauge on the right hand side of reel
approximately 1" from the end. See FIG. 51.
2. Lower the indicator slide casting on the vertical
support so the indicator rod can make contact with
the center of the reel shaft within approximately
1/16" .062" (1.5 MM) and lock Knob A. See FIG
46. Center shaft should be clean and free of rust
where rod makes contact. Fine adjust using Knob
B until the alignment rod is in the center of the
reel shaft. See FIG. 50 and 51.
3. Loosen Knob D on the indicator stop bar. Holding
the indicator rod firmly against the reel shaft,
move the indicator stop bar back, until no contact
is made with the indicator rod plunger. Now move
indicator stop bar forward until contact is made
and then an additional 1/2". This will set the
plunger at about its midpoint and allowing it to
move in both directions. See FIG. 53.
4. Now set the outer dial indicator to the "0"
position. Read and note the position of the
smaller (.100) dial. You must know this reading
when setting up the other side. Pull back and lock
with Knob C. See FIG 46.
5. Move the alignment fixture to the left side of the
reel carefully retracting the indicator rod so as not
to damage or change setting. Set indicator rod on
the same position on the reel as you had on the
right side, that is 1" from the end and centered
on the shaft. See FIG. 52. Now read the dial
indicator to determine the distance the reel is out
of position.
NOTE: Because the set up fixture is mounted to the
carriage, you can unlock the belt drive system and
traverse manually from end to end.
When you pull the indictor rod back, tighten knob
("C") so you do not have to hold the rod in the back
position. See FIG 46.
