With the wide application of high-precision linear guide rails in industrial automation, it is necessary to master certain installation skills, master the correct method of installing linear guide rails, and improve the service life and accuracy of guide rails.
The parallelism between the driven side slide rail and the reference side slide rail is ensured in the installation without lateral positioning assembly surface.
First, use the installation datum installation method
First, use the assembly screws to fix the bottom reference surface of the linear guide rail to the bottom assembly surface of the bed table, and then use the vice to press the reference surface of the side of the slide rail to the side assembly surface of the bed table to determine the position of the slide rail. Then use a torque wrench to lock the fixing screws in sequence with a certain amount of torque to press the bottom reference surface of the slide rail to the bottom assembly surface of the bed table.
Installation of linear guide rails on the driven side
1. Linear block gauge method
The linear block gauge is placed between the two linear guide rails, and the linear block gauge is calibrated with a thousand meter to make it parallel to the side reference plane of the reference side slide rail. Then, the driven side slide rail is calibrated according to the linear block gauge. The end of the driven rail is calibrated and the assembly screws are locked with a specific torque in sequence.
2. Mobile Platform Law
The two sliders on the reference side are fixed on a measurement platform, while only one slider is installed on the driven side. Neither the slide rail nor the slider is fixed to the bed table and the platform. Using a thousand-meter attached to the top surface of the driven side slider, the reference plane of the driven side slider is measured. One end of the driven linear guide starts to calibrate and sequentially locks the assembly screws with a specific torque.
3. Follow the benchmark side slide rail method
The two sliders of the reference side linear guide rail and one of the sliders of the driven side guide rail are fixed on the platform, and then the driven side slide rail and the other slide rail are roughly fixed on the bed table and the platform respectively, and the reference side slide rail shall prevail. On the moving platform, starting from one end of the slide rail, while confirming the rolling resistance of the driven side linear guide rail, the assembly screws are sequentially locked with a specific torque.
4. Special tool method
Use professional tools to determine the position of the driven side rails and sequentially lock the assembly screws with a specific torque.
