Procedure for fitting a typical guide rail
Attach the Guide Rail Brackets to the frame.
If an offset has been chosen, any distance piece has to be placed between
the frame and the Guide Rail Bracket.
The bolts used to attach the brackets to the conveyor sides should be M8.
The length of bolt depends upon the guide rail bracket arrangement used,
but should not protrude in to the beam profile by more than 10mm.
With the brackets in place, the guide rail profile can be mounted to the
brackets and clamps.
If the guide rail is to be FlexLink polyethylene, XLRS 3x15 P type then to
ensure rigidity at the ends it is suggested to pre-bend a 150 mm long and
10x10 mm metal bar or an Ø10 mm metal rod to the radius of the guide rail
and insert it in the guide rail at each end.
Make sure that there is a smooth connection between the guide rail joints,
to ensure product passes along the guide rail un-hindered.
