Conveyor system XK (continued)
Installation of slide rail in XK plain bends
Plain bends increase the tension in the chain and cause
higher stress on the slide rail. It is therefore recom-
mended that slide rail is used on both the upper and
lower flanges in XK horizontal plain bends.

1
Cut the slide rail slightly, to ensure a smooth entry of
the chain. Mount slide rail on the lower flange of the
conveyor beam.
2
Mount a short piece of slide rail on the upper flange.
Use the drill fixture to drill holes through the slide rail
on the upper and lower flange. Use a drill bit that is
long enough to drill through both flanges.
3
Remove the upper slide rail section. Anchor the lower
slide rail to the beam using XWAG 5 plastic screws.
Cut off all screw heads. File off protruding edges. The
cut should be made away from the joint, in the direc-
tion of travel.
Repeat the procedure for the opposite side.
4
Install slide rail on the upper flanges.
