9.4 Replacing the read head
• The carriage and guide rail form a single unit. In the case of matched designs,
ensure that the carriages of different guide rails are not interchanged.
• To prevent rolling elements from being dislodged from carriages, use an
MRM/MBM assembly rail when transferring carriages to and from guide rail. The
MRM/MBM assembly rail is not included in the standard delivery.
• Should one carriage become damaged, replace all carriages. Should it be
unknown which accuracy levels are installed, a G0 system can be installed. This
ensures that the original accuracy levels are achieved.
