Slide rail and support rail (continued)
Fixing slide rail to the conveyor beam
The beginning of each slide rail section must be fixed to
the beam, since the chain will cause the slide rail to be
pushed forward. Slide rail which moves into a wheel bend
or a drive unit can block the chain completely.
There are two different methods for fixing slide rail to
the conveyor beam: using aluminium rivets or plastic
screws. Either method can be used, but the riveting
method is more secure if the conveyor will run with high
operational speed or be heavily loaded.
Drilling slide rail
Procedure:
Slide rail in conveyor beam section XLCH 5 V
When using articulated beam section XLCH 5 V, the slide
rail must be mounted across the entire beam section, and
cut off at the beginning of the following beam section.

Countersink
1 Drill two holes near the beginning of each slide rail
section. Use the drill fixture to ensure clean-cut holes
and the correct location of the holes. For drill bit
radius, see table.
The holes must be at the leading edge of the joint
piece, in the direction of travel, to hold the slide rail in
place when the conveyor is in use. Use a well-sharp-
ened drill-bit.
The arrow indicates running direction.
2 Use a countersink to deburr and countersink the
holes. Also make sure that there are no metal filings
left underneath the slide rail.
