Wide Belt Conveyor Part 2

I spent some time this morning cleaning up the inside of the machine. Sure was dusty and grimy in there. Looks a lot better now. I re-installed the four posts the bed travels up and down on and put the nuts back on the acme jack threads. I took the sheave out of the center of the triple belt pulley that drives the contact drum. It slid right on the shaft when it was uncoupled. I was anticipating a struggle, it was a real bear to remove. With the pulley back on, I used a lever to lift the motor so I could install the belts. Spinning the belts, I noticed the motor drive pulley didn't have enough clearance from the machine housing. I loosened the sheave and adjusted it to be more or less co planer to the upper pulley. I say more or less because the motor mount is definitely tilted. I'll have to ask Bob about that one, doesn't make sense to me just yet. Anyway, it all spins freely now, no rubbing anywhere.

I installed those conveyor belt tension adjusting screws. They are also used to track the belt. It seems we may have got carried away and slid it a bit past where it should be, so hopefully we can track it back over to the center. I re-installed the front and rear hold down rollers, and reconnected the electrical supply for the conveyor feed motor. I bolted the dust collection shroud back in place, and put the machine covers back on. It looks like the home stretch is near.

The last things will be:
1. Re-weld or fabricate a new bracket for the emergency stop bar.
2. Install the e stop.
3. Decide on location of the machine. 
4. Wire the electrical and plumb the dust collection to it.
5. Testing and adjustment.
