Track Systems PRT track systems provide a unique method of achieving an almost limitless variation of controlled routing.Any number of carriages can be accommodated, either the fixed center economy type which is suitable for unidirectional bends of the same radius or the bogie type which enables “S” bends of varying radii to be negotiated and provides a large platform for mounting purposes. Various drive possibilities exist, some of which are illustrated in the applications section on pages 6-9. The relevant dimensions of individual tracksystem slides are held on record to enable spares and replacements to be supplied. (see page 17) (see page 21) (see page 22) Installation Procedure PRT track systems are supplied in separate sections, ready for installation marked with a system referencenumber and individual sequence number (see ordering details page 19). It is recommended that track system slides should be assembled and clamped in position as a complete circuit prior to drilling throughall holes andbolting down the straight slides. Final adjustment of the joints should be carried out using thekeyway alignment facility provided, ensuring that both jacking screws are subsequently locked and allcurved segment fixing screws are tightened. A final stoning of the V faces is necessary to ensure smooth travel across the joints. 18 © Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation 2008. All rights reserved.
