Multi-part guide rails are marked with a number at their joints. In the case of a matched
design, the guide rails are also marked with a set number at the start of the rail.
The guide rail with the set number index 1, or with the butt joint number 1 is designated
as the reference rail.
Installation procedure:
•
Install individual rail segments alternately or consecutively from the line centre
outwards.
•
Install the guide rails so that the butt joint numbers match.
Proceed as follows according to the rail system:
•
In the case of multi-part rails without a locating surface in the machine bed,
align the butt joints using a fixing bridge or MWM installation carriage.
•
In the case of guide rails with locating surfaces on the machine side, lay the guide
rails with their locating side against the locating surface.
•
In the case of MONORAIL AMS, install the guide rail with the magnetic measuring
scale as the reference rail. MONORAIL AMS guideways have a designation
on the guide rail and a carriage with a read head.
ATTENTION!
Risk of material damage posed by sharp edges!
Carriage cross wipers can be damaged during operation by sharp-
edged rail fixing holes.
• Ensure that rail fixing holes are covered.
Prior to carriage installation, cover the mounting holes on the upper surface of the
guide rail with a suitable adhesive tape. The adhesive tape protects the cross wiper of
the carriage from damage by sharp-edged fixing holes.
