You will need a clean, flat work area such as a table or workbench. The
surface should be long enough to support the full height of the PTM. The
height is equal to the height of the stack of modules in your system plus any
gaps you intend to include in the stack. Use the following procedure to
assemble your PTM.
In most cases, you have received a pre-assembled PTM. If its length is correct
for your system, proceed to the section "Mechanical Installation of the
Expansion and MiniLibrary Base Modules" and continue on to the end of the
chapter. If you need to add sections, please take a few minutes to read this
section and the section "Installing the Belt," before proceeding to "Adding to
an Existing PTM."
NOTE: References to left and right refer to the position of the part when the PTM is
assembled and mounted in the rack, as viewed from the front of the rack.
1. Place the base section, with the inside facing down, overhanging the
right end of the work area, with the bottom plate of the section toward
the right (see Figures 3-1 and 3-4).
2. Place each of the extension sections, with the inside facing down, in a
row aligned edge-to-edge beginning with the base section. The bottoms
of the sections should be toward the right. Disregard the motor drive at
this time.
