Energy Chain Mounting - Alpine AutoSet Plus Manuel

Step 4. Place a wooden wedge between the roll and
the track rail on the top chord side of the
gantry.
Step 5. Bump the forward/reverse joystick control to
move the gantry in the direction needed to
achieve a square measurement at the "A" frame.
If the Gantry is not within the ½" – ¾" side
to side, gently bump the Gantry head with a
forklift.
Step 6. Turn the jack bolts to move the guide wheel
housing until it is contacting the frame within
1/32nd of an inch.

Step 7. Verify the jack bolts are contacting the housing
plate.
Step 8. Tighten the two bolts holding the housing
to the frame (Lock washers need to be
compressed).
Step 9. Tighten the jam nuts.
After these adjustments have been made, verify the
load runner wheels are still in adjustment to the table
frame.
The angle iron load runner frame should be even with
the table frame where the guide wheels run. This can
be achieved by loosening the 10 bolts holding the load
runner frame to the "A" frame of the gantry, then align
the load runner angle iron frame to the frame of the
table (the edge where the gantry green guide wheels
ride). Then tighten the bolts.
If the load runner angle iron frame on the side of the
gantry with the rider platform is moved, loosen the
two bolts holding the Igus energy chain to the bracket
and re-center the chain, so the chain mounted to the
bracket is aligned to the chain laying in the trough.
6.3.
The L-Bracket on the gantry end of the Energy Chain
must be mounted at approximately 15 degrees and ride
just above the trough (Figure 66).
The energy chain should be aligned from where it is
mounted to the L bracket to where the chain is laying
in the energy chain trough. The L bracket has a slotted
hole to allow for this alignment. There are two bolts
mounting the chain to the bracket that should be
loosened to align the chain, then tightened.
Jam Nut
The first three links of the chain are reversed to allow for
smooth pushing and pulling of the Energy Chain as the
Jack Bolt
gantry head moves (Figure 66).

All of the cables running through the Energy Chain
must be tied down individually to strain relief fingers
mounted to the L-Bracket (Figure 67).
