Gantry Support Module Installation
Parallel Alignment Specifications
The gantry support block contains a spherical bearing and a lip seal. It is
factory-lubricated with cleanroom grease. Both the bearing and spindle interface surface
are lubricated. This design allows the gantry to operate with up to 0.5 mm of
mis-alignment with respect to the primary axis. The bearing will self-align and the gantry
spindle will slide axially within the bearing’s inner race.
NOTE: The life of the LG6 gantry support module and the gantry support
assembly may be reduced if the parallelism specification (see
Figure 5-44 )
or nominal gap tolerances (see Figure 5-45 ) are exceeded. You must
measure the gap throughout the entire X-axis stroke to verify compliance.
