Ramp
Illustration 14 1. Ramp2. Ramp Mounting Bracket3. Conveyor4. Ramp Mounting PinLine up the mounting holes in the end of the ramp with the holes in the ramp mounting bracket. Install the mounting pin. Retain the mounting pin with washers and keys, provided.Make sure that the conveyor is located in a straight line which lines up with the centerline of the track press. Pull a tight string along the edge of the conveyor to assist in aligning conveyor sections. Tighten all bolts between the conveyor and the legs, in the hydraulic support brackets, and the shoe lifter rail connections.The operating height for the conveyor is 864 mm (34 inches) from the floor to the top of the gravity rollers. The working height for the track press is 775 mm (30.5 inches) from the floor to the top of the base plate, the surface on which the saddles are mounted.The indexer table is mounted on the first conveyor leg; the height is determined by the height of the conveyor. The other end of the indexer table, next to the track press, is adjustable to position the extension bars on top of the saddle bolts. Different combinations of saddles, such as a Caterpillar Saddle or a Wolff saddle positioned on the conversion plate, require the front of the indexer table to be adjusted to different elevations. The indexer lift cylinder contains an adjustment mechanism which changes the collapsed height of the cylinder to determine the position of the fully lowered indexer table.Determine the highest point of the floor under the track press, indexer, and conveyor. Calculate the amount of shims needed to raise the track press to this highest point. Install the required amount of shims under the track press to level it from front to back within 0.8 mm (0.030 inch) over the length of the work area on the base plate. Level the press from side-to-side within 0.8 mm (0.030 inch) across the width of the base plate from inside-to-inside of the 150 mm (6 inch) side plates.Start at the indexer and level the conveyor using the same method. The conveyor must be level in both directions, from side-to-side and lengthwise. Install the required number of shims under the legs to level the conveyor within 0.8 mm (0.30 inch) from outside-to-outside of the conveyor and within 0.8 mm (0.30 inch) over 610 mm (24 inches) over the length of the conveyor. The shims under the conveyor legs should be the same shape and size as the plate at the bottom of the leg. This assures proper support of the leg and eliminates housekeeping problems.Drill the holes in the concrete through the holes in the track press floor plate and the holes in the bottom of the conveyor legs. Secure the press and conveyor in position with concrete anchors. An anchor like the Phillips Wedge Lock is recommended.
