Push the loose middle X-axis rail in the expansion module towards the X-axis rail in the control module
or expansion module to verify that there is no gap in the junction between the two rails.
4
While holding the X-axis rail against the adjoining rail use an 8 mm nut driver or open end wrench to
tighten the five 8 mm nuts on the X-axis rail alignment tool. This will align the two separate rails.
5
Working from left to right, tighten the ten 3 mm screws on the middle X-axis rail.
6
Use an 8 mm nut driver or open end wrench to loosen the five 8 mm nuts on the X-axis rail alignment
tool. Remove the tool from the X-axis rail.
7
Manually move the accessor over the rail junction points to verify that you cannot feel the junction.
There may be a slight clunk sound as you pass over the junction, but you
Note
should not feel the transition between the rails in the accessor.
Verifying the Middle X-Axis Rail Alignment
1
Place the digital level on the lower side of the control module X-axis rail between screws 3 and 4 as
counted from the left. Record this value.

Verify that value for the expansion module middle X-axis rail is within +/- 0.05 degrees of the value
recorded for the control module. Make note of this value.

If the rail is not within this tolerance, align it as follows:
