4.10.1 Combined guide rails and butt joints
The length L3 of a single-part SCHNEEBERGER MONORAIL guideway is limited to max. 6 m by the production facility. The maximum lengths can be taken from the respective product descriptions. Longer lengths can be made by joining two or more guide rails. The guide rail sections are fixed to create a gap-free, fully loadable butt joint.
4.10.2 Installation and markings
Multi-part guide rails are marked on the butt joints with a digit and, in the case of GP versions, are also given a set number at the start of the guide rail.
Numbering of the guide rail joints and set numbers. The notation "1.1" only refers to the GP design.
Install the guide rails in such a manner that the butt joint numbers match. The guide rail with the set number index 1, or with the butt joint number 1, is designated as the reference rail.
When installing multi-part guide rail tracks without a locating surface in the machine bed, align the guide rail butt joints using a fixing bridge.
Installation using a fixing bridge
During installation with locating surfaces on the machine side, always lay the guide rails with their locating side against the locating surface. In both cases pay attention that the guide rails are joined together without any gaps.
For replacement parts, multi-part guide rails can only be replaced as complete units. A subsequent order of individual, customer-specific parts is not possible.
Interchangeability of individual guide rail parts for types N, NU, NUD, C and CD is only allowed with MONORAIL RSR and BSR, and with MONORAIL AMS 3L.
