  14. While the machine is on its side, install the new ball screw and nut Schlumberger-Private

  15. It will install the same way the old one was installed Schlumberger-Private

  16. • You will find that when you start to install things, they will bind up on you. • This is where the tweaking process comes in. • You will need to loosen and tighten things more than once to get the alignment correct. Schlumberger-Private

  17. Install the X ballnut block the same as the old lead screw and nut Schlumberger-Private

  18. Now you can slide the table back on Schlumberger-Private

  19. Use the long 6mm screws that came with the kit. Put the extension on and also the end cap from the handle end. Use the existing thrust bearings Schlumberger-Private

  24. Bolt it down to the machine Schlumberger-Private

  25. Re-attach the ¼” plate to the Y assembly Schlumberger-Private

  26. Now we can move on to the Z axis Schlumberger-Private

  27. Start by removing the gas spring Schlumberger-Private

  28. Detach this cap screw from the back of the machine. It holds the gas spring from inside the column Schlumberger-Private

  29. This is the stop for the head. Remove it. Schlumberger-Private

  41. Bolt the block with the 12mm cap screw, and the 2 6mm screws that had the plate bolted to the head Schlumberger-Private

  42. Slowly move the head down until the Z top mount sets on top of the column Schlumberger-Private

  43. • We have heard some feed back on issues with the Z axis binding. • When starting to install the Z axis ball screw, bolt down the side block with the existing holes from the machines first. • Then you can hold the top plate in place and move the head up and down with a drill attached to the coupling. This will allow you to get smooth movement from top to bottom before deciding on where to drill the mounting holes for the Z top plate. • We also slotted the Z top plate for some final fine adjustment just in case. • Mounting of the Z axis should be a slow and steady process to insure alignment is correct. This will avoid any binding issues. Schlumberger-Private

  44. You can drill the holes thru with a ¼” drill, or you can drill and tap them for a 6mm cap screw Schlumberger-Private

  45. Either way, you can use the 6mm cap screws and nuts that come with the kit Schlumberger-Private

  46. Now you are ready to tweak everything in, and start on the electronics Schlumberger-Private
