6.5.2 Adjusting the Stainless Steel Sheet Tension
1) First, affix the stainless steel sheet uniformly on the right and left in a manner free from
meandering.
(The stainless steel sheet is gripped on with the magnets. Detach the sheet in a manner of
peeling it once from one edge. Also adjust the stainless steel sheet from the slider center
toward both ends.)
2) Move the slider to a position near the stroke center, and unscrew the screws holding the
stainless steel sheet with a 7mm-sized hex wrench on one side and remove the retainer plate.
Move the slider to a position near the stroke center.
Remove the stainless steel sheet affixing screws on the front side.
3) Prepare for tension adjustment of the stainless steel sheet.
• As shown below, raise the stainless steel sheet by 1 to 2cm at the end where the screws
were removed in step 2), and then by using a tension gauge, pull the sheet in the direction
of the free end with a force of 2kg. (Use a tension gauge having two forked hooks at its tips
and hook the gauge at two locations on the stainless steel sheet.)
• With the stainless steel sheet tensioned by a force of 2kg, allow the stainless steel sheet to
be attracted to the magnets from the slider end toward the other end, and then remove the
tension gauge.
(Once attracted to the magnets, the stainless steel sheet will not move.)
• Use an oil-based marker and ruler to draw a straight check line that crosses over the side
covers and stainless steel sheet. [Refer to the figure below.]
Raise the stainless steel sheet and pull
(to a height of 1 to 2cm at the end).
(Use a tension gauge.)
Draw a check line using an oil-based marker.
