Removing the X-Axis Hard Stop

When shipped, the X-axis (horizontal axis) on the handler includes two inner and two
outer "hard stops," which are simply #10 cap screws located at each end of the X-axis. See
Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10 Outer and inner hard stops on the handler's X-axis (right side shown)
When the inner hard stops are installed, the handler is prevented from traveling too far to
the left and right. When an inner hard stop is removed, the handler can reach into an
attached expansion pod.
You need to remove the inner hard stop on the side where you will install the expansion
pod.
To avoid damage to the equipment, never remove the two outer stops.
To remove an inner hard stop, follow these steps:
1. If you will install an expansion pod to the left of the XLS-812300, locate the inner
hard stop on the left side of the X-axis. If you will install an expansion pod to the
right of the XLS-812300, locate the inner hard stop on the right side of the X-axis.
