• Store delivered parts prior to installation in order to achieve temperature equalisa-
tion. Read installation notes and accompanying product documentation carefully
before installation.
The locating surface of the rails can be found on the side facing away from the
SCHNEEBERGER and type number labels.
1 Mounting plate locating surface
2 Carriage locating surface
3 Machine bed locating surface
4 Guide rail locating surface
The locating surfaces are prepared as follows:
1. Check the locating surfaces of the machine bed and mounting plate for shape
and positional accuracy. Rework the locating surfaces if these do not meet the
specifications.
2. Clean all locating surfaces thoroughly. Remove ridges and surface irregularities
with an oil stone.
3. Ensure prior to and during installation that the guideways and mounting base are
at the same temperature.
4. Remove the corrosion protection from guide rails and carriages using a suitable
solvent, e.g. white spirit. Do not use any solvents capable of damaging plastics.
Do not move carriages during this time, as this could result in damage.
ATTENTION!
Risk of material damage posed by movement of carriage!
This can result in material damage.
• Never move carriages during use of a corrosion protection or suitable
solvents.
5. Lightly oil the locating surfaces of the guide rails and carriages.
The absolute distance measuring system has an integrated battery-assisted power
supply which ensures that the position information is retained even if the controller
is switched off.
The measuring system is prepared as follows:
1. Unpacking
2. Remove the cover plate from the housing (see „6.5.1 Handling magnetic fields"
on page 21).
3. Activate the power supply:
• Remove the activation strip together with the magnet beneath it from the
electronics housing (see figure).
