3BUS 208 000 R130136 Hardware Installation
1. Scribe a center line on each pedestal exactly halfway between the mounting
bolt pattern and perpendicular to the machine direction.
2. Stretch a length of piano wire (or thin, strong, machinist’s string) 0.012 in
(0.3 mm) in diameter between the two mounting pedestals.
3. Attach a weight to each end of the wire (approximately 10 lb./5 kg). The wire
should pass over the scribe lines on the pedestal’s top surface.
4. Adjust both mounting pedestals by gently tapping their sides with a hammer
until the piano wire passes directly over the scribe lines for both pedestals.
5. Visually determine that the wire and the scribe lines coincide within 0.04 in.
along an 8 in. length (1 mm along a 200 mm length) on each pedestal.
6. Make certain the distance between the pedestals and off sheet location (center
line to center line) corresponds to the dimensions on the site specific engineering
drawings.
7. Determine that the top surfaces of the two pedestals are at the same elevation.
If the pedestals must be leveled, then recheck the alignment of the scribe lines
after completing the leveling.
8. Determine that the piano wire is parallel to the adjacent process rolls within
0.08 in. (2 mm) by measuring the back and front distances of the roll to the
piano wire with vertical plumb lines.
The mounting pedestals are now aligned.
