Attach Rails To Spine Plates; Precision Rail End Identification - Rockwell Automation MagneMotion MagneMover LITE Original Instructions Manual

Attach Rails to Spine Plates

The precision rails are provided as a matched set with adjoining rail ends lettered (engraved)
at the factory as A to A, B to B, C to C, and so on, as shown in
attach to spine plates at a joint where the ends of two rails meet, as shown in
However, some rails can attach to spine plates along the mid-point of a rail, as shown in
Figure 5-34.
NOTE: Before attaching and securing the final rail within the system, install all vehicles
onto the rails by sliding them onto an open section of rail (see
Rail Vehicles on page
Make sure that all rails on parallel paths are parallel.
1. Identify the letters engraved on the end of each rail segment (see
out the rails so matching letters (A to A, B to B, C to C, and so on) align.
NOTE: When a rail segment is not used or is mislocated, the letters between the
2. When connecting a straight rail section to a curved rail section, an adjustment key is
used to make sure of proper alignment between the sections as shown in
