Page 25: Leveling Procedure
A 36 mm wrench is required to adjust the leveling bolts. 4. On the VMC5, leveling is achieved by using leveling screws R1, R3, L1 and L3. See figure 2.6.1a. Adjusting screws R2 and L2 should be left loose or just snug with the leveling pads and have no pressure at this time. -
Page 26: Adjusting Level For Tram
3. If the tram measurement is not .0008 TIR on the VMC5, adjust the R2 and L2 leveling bolts to adjust the tram within specification. This will tend to help adjust any error you have in the Y axis for the tram. - Page 27 (1) Coolant nozzle and fitting – P/N 26958 (1) 10’ 120 PSI rated hose – P/N 26959 (1) Air and coolant nozzle bracket Loose Parts Photo 2.7a TRAK Machine Tools Southwestern Industries, Inc.
