RLX 4 Tool Turret Field Installation

Separate regulator from mounting plate.

Use plate as a template for mounting holes of regulator. Drill 4 holes with a 0.221" diameter.

Top left mounting hole will be 1.25" from back of casting and 4" from underside of chip enclosure.

Mount air regulator assembly to side of electrical cabinet.

Attach tubing and armor assemblies to sheet metal, refer to document 29640-X (depends on machine).

Attach air lines to quick release fittings on turret, again refer to document 29640-X (depends on machine).

Attach sheet metal cover to turret and route armor cables downward.

Attach turret mounting base to cross slide using the supplied M10 hardware and M10 T-slot nuts. Torque to 27ft/lbs.

Check flatness of base to confirm it is within 0.001 T.I.R.

Place turret onto mounting base. Route armor cables underneath bed and exit out the rear of the chip enclosure. Attach air lines, UNCLAMP solenoid cable, INDEX solenoid cable and AIR PRESS cables to regulator assembly, refer to drawing 29640-1. Attach TURRET INPUTS extension cable to cable from turret.

Once air lines are attached and air supply is on, push in blue button on UNCLAMP solenoid to unclamp the turret to allow free rotation to access the 4 mounting points of the turret to mounting base.
