FX-1/FX-1R Maintenance Manual
1-1-3. Adjustment Procedure
(1) Make measurements with a Yunitta's tension meter placed at the positions indicated by the
arrows in the figure below and check to make sure that the values are within the specification
value range.
(Note 1) Measure the belt tension by tapping the center of the belt with a stick. At this
time, put the microphone so that it receives the vibration produced at the center
of the belt in the width direction. (When receiving the vibration produced at both
ends, the measured value may become 30N larger than that obtained at the
center. Strictly observe this point.)
(Note 2) Since the tension of the X- or Y-motor belt may vary depending on the
orientation of the motor pulley, measure the tension at the position shown in
Figure 1-1-4-2.
