MARTIN® TRACKER Belt Tracking Systems
The MARTIN® TRACKER Belt Tracking Systems are designed to automatically detect and correct belt tracking issues using guide rollers. The system includes an upper guide unit for the carrying side and a lower guide unit for the return side. This manual provides installation instructions for Standard, Heavy-Duty, and Extra Heavy-Duty systems.
Compliance with ANSI and OSHA safety rules is mandatory. The manual references ANSI z244.1-1982 and OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 for lockout/tagout procedures.
Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation and servicing.
Inspect the shipping container for damage and ensure all components, including the MARTIN® TRACKER system, warning labels, and the operator’s manual, are present. Center the belt on the conveyor and follow lockout/tagout procedures before installation.
Lower Unit Installation:
1. Position the Lower Guide Unit three times the belt width before the adjustment point.
2. Integrate the existing return idler into the MARTIN® TRACKER Lower Unit.
3. Secure with set screws and hanger brackets.
4. Center the unit and adjust sensing rolls to be 1/4 inch from the belt edge.
Upper Unit Installation:
1. Position the Upper Guide Unit beyond the loading point or three to four times the belt width before adjustment.
2. Integrate the existing troughing idler into the MARTIN® TRACKER Upper Unit.
3. Secure with support arms and bolts, ensuring proper centering and positioning of sensing rolls.
Clean the area above the MARTIN® TRACKER System and place warning labels on visible parts. Ensure all components are securely fastened and operational.
1. Remove all tools and covers before activating the energy source.
2. Avoid contact with the conveyor belt while operational.
3. Ensure energy sources are locked/tagged out before adjustments.
4. Allow the belt to run through at least ten resolutions post-installation, then lock out/tag out the energy source.
5. Verify all fasteners are tight and adjust the system if necessary.
The document provides part numbers for various MARTIN® TRACKER systems, including standard, heavy-duty, and extra heavy-duty assemblies. It details part numbers for lower and upper units and specifications for components like guide roll assemblies, screws, bearings, and weldments.
Figures illustrate the MARTIN® TRACKER systems, showing components such as the main cross section, set screws, telescoping tubes, and torque arm assemblies. Tables list part numbers and quantities for each component.
Part numbers and quantities for components such as T-Body Weldments, Bearings, Screws, and Weldments are listed for both upper and lower units. Dimensions and weights for belt widths ranging from 48 to 84 inches are specified.
Detailed instructions are provided through figures and tables, illustrating the placement and connection of components like torque arms, cradle weldments, and guide roll assemblies.
Safety warnings emphasize the importance of locking out and tagging out all energy sources before performing any work to prevent severe injury or death.
