Download AutoCut - Autometrix

Tools Required:
5/32” Allen wrench
Phillips head screw driver
Preparation:
1. Turn off the cutter.
2. Remove the end covers.
Backlash Adjustment:
1. Loosen the motor mount screws (labeled A), and rotate the
motor as far as possible counterclockwise to get maximum
backlash.
2. Holding the motor, move the carriage end slightly back and
forth. You will feel the backlash clicking as the pinion
touches the rack at each end of travel.
3. Still holding the motor in one hand, rotate the motor mount
very slowly clockwise, until you can feel the backlash just
disappear.
4. Tighten the motor mount screws (A).
5. Check one more time, and then replace the end covers.
Drive Pinion Replacement
When your pinions become worn, you can easily replace them.
The x and y axis drive pinions are held on the motor shaft by
clamping collars.
