Preparing to Assemble the PTM

You will need a clean, flat work area such as a table or workbench. The

surface should be long enough to support the full height of the PTM. The

height is equal to the height of the stack of modules in your system plus any

gaps you intend to include in the stack. Use the following procedure to

assemble your PTM.

Assembling the PTM

In most cases, you have received a pre-assembled PTM. If its length is correct

for your system, proceed to the section “Mechanical Installation of the

Expansion and MiniLibrary Base Modules” and continue on to the end of the

chapter. If you need to add sections, please take a few minutes to read this

section and the section “Installing the Belt,” before proceeding to “Adding to

an Existing PTM.”

NOTE:

References to left and right refer to the position of the part when the PTM is

assembled and mounted in the rack, as viewed from the front of the rack.

Place the base section, with the inside facing down, overhanging the

right end of the work area, with the bottom plate of the section toward

the right (see Figures 3-1 and 3-4).

Place each of the extension sections, with the inside facing down, in a

row aligned edge-to-edge beginning with the base section. The bottoms

of the sections should be toward the right. Disregard the motor drive at

this time.
