Fine-Tuning Drive Belt Adjustment | |
---|---|
Loosen one full turn only the 3/16” Allen belt tensioner screw located on the right bottom side of the lower rail marked with a red dot. | |
Only loosen it so that there is some movement in the belt tensioner; about one full turn (Fig B). Belt tensioner springs should be visible. | |
The belt anchor adjustment screw is the Allen screw that sticks out of the belt anchor, which is located at the left end of each rail; not the round button screw. The large Allen adjustment screw sticks through the belt anchor and into the drive belt. Adjusting the Allen adjustment screw moves the belt end of the drive belt to the right or to the left. | |
Determine if the gantry is leaning to the right or to the left. Note that each drive belt has an adjustment screw.
After making the adjustment, do the test cut again. Continue with the above process until the test cut cuts 2” on both the top and bottom side of the rectangle. Go back and snugly tighten the 3/16” Allen belt tensioner screw from the right bottom side of the lower rail and the right bottom side of the upper rail marked with a red dot (Fig D). |
