Assembling the Horizontal Conveyor Shaft

Before You Begin

Safety: Stop the machine, follow the site lockout/tagout procedure, verify that hazardous energy is controlled, and release or secure stored mechanical and pneumatic energy before opening a panel, removing a guard, or adjusting components. Electrical work must be performed by a qualified technician.

Confirm the Result

Reinstall all guards and restore energy through the approved startup procedure. Run a controlled no-load test, watching for binding, tracking changes, unusual noise, vibration, leaks, or unexpected movement before returning the machine to production.

If the issue remains, record the exact on-screen message, affected component, indicator-light state, and the last change made. Provide those details to Enventek Technical Support; do not repeatedly recalibrate or replace parts without identifying the cause.
