Installation Guide: NexBot Robotics 612-019 Adjustable Light Curtain Mount Set

1. Verify that the SKU on the packaging matches NXB-MNT-612-019.
2. Inspect all components for shipping damage, paying close attention to the powder-coated finish and mounting threads.
3. Confirm the installation area is clean, level, and free of obstructions.
4. Ensure the chosen mounting surface (floor, frame) can support the weight of the mounts (3.5 kg each) plus the light curtain assembly.
5. Review the installation manual for the specific safety light curtain model to be installed, noting its alignment requirements.
6. Ensure all required tools and appropriate anchoring hardware (e.g., concrete anchors, T-nuts) are available.

Step 1: Step 1: Unpack and Inventory Components

Carefully unpack the mount set and lay out all components. Cross-reference the parts with the included packing list to ensure the kit is complete before beginning installation.

Step 2: Step 2: Position and Mark Base Plate Locations

Determine the precise locations for the light curtain transmitter and receiver. Use a tape measure and laser level to position the base plates according to your safety plan and mark the drilling holes on the mounting surface.

Step 3: Step 3: Secure the Base Plates

Drill the marked holes using the appropriate drill bit for your mounting surface. Securely fasten the base plates using suitable anchors or bolts, ensuring they are level and do not rock.

Step 4: Step 4: Attach Vertical Posts

Mount the main vertical posts to the secured base plates using the provided hardware. Initially, leave the fasteners slightly loose to allow for minor adjustments.

Step 5: Step 5: Install Light Curtain Mounting Brackets

Attach the adjustable light curtain brackets to the vertical posts at the required height. The slotted design allows for vertical positioning before final tightening.

Step 6: Step 6: Mount the Light Curtain Emitter and Receiver

Fasten the light curtain emitter and receiver units to their respective mounting brackets. Ensure they are oriented correctly as per the light curtain manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7: Step 7: Perform Coarse Alignment

Visually align the emitter and receiver. Use a laser level or straightedge to ensure the posts are plumb and the light curtains are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground.

Step 8: Step 8: Final Alignment and Tightening

Power on the light curtain and use its alignment indicators. Use the fine-adjustment screws on the NXB-MNT-612-019 brackets to achieve optimal signal strength. Once aligned, systematically tighten all fasteners on the base plates, posts, and brackets to the recommended torque specifications.
