Preliminary Steps
Unpack the contents of the Torque Workcentre (TWC), and compare them to the item
lists on the preceding pages to identify each component, and ensure all are accounted
for. Some items (listed with a *) differ in numbers depending on the size of the TWC
purchased.
Contact your dealer if any components appear to be missing or damaged.
The more complicated assembly stages have already been completed in-factory,
so the remaining assembly steps are relatively straight-forward, and should take
approximately 2 hours.
Step 4.
Bolt each End Frame in position
at either end of the platform. Each End
Frame is angled outwards, still with the
slot towards the back, and the wheels
with the locks towards the front.
Assembling the Base
Step 5.
Flip the unit over.
It is advisable to use the
wheel brakes whenever
possible during the as-
sembly process.
Step 1.
Lay out the Front and Rear Beam,
with the pre-drilled and tapped holes
facing each other. The Front Beam is
place with the attached 25mm box section
on the Front Beam to the outside, and to
the top.
Step 2.
Place the Beam Ties at each set
of holes, skipping the first and last set of
holes (they are for the end frames). The
Beam Ties are placed with the holes to-
wards the ground, and the slot towards
the Rear Beam.
Step 3.
Loosely bolt each tie to the re-
spective Beam, using a hex bolt, spring
washer, and flat washer for each hole.
Using the provided hex key lightly tighten
up the bolts, but don’t tighten them up too
much at this stage.
Step 6.
Using a straight edge, ensure the
tops of each end, and each Tie is level
with the Front and Rear Beams. This
step is important to ensure the TWC has
a solid, flat base/working surface.
Start with the End Frames, tighten each
hex bolt up fully, then work from one
Beam Tie to the next, ensuring the top of
the Tie is level with the Beams then fully
tightening up all the bolts. When leveling
the Tie with the top of the Beams, use
a straight-edge, and a rubber mallet, or
hammer with a block of wood to protect
the finish.
Step 7.
Insert the Beam End Caps, and
tap them home with the mallet.
This completes the TWC base assembly.

Assembling the Rail & Carriage Module
Column Support
Step 8.
Remove the four bolts from the
rear of the Undercarriage, and place them
close to hand at the rear of the Base.
Place the Column Base next to the bolts.
Step 12.
While still holding up the Under-
carriage, place the Column Base on top
and refit the four bolts, locking the two
components together. This unit should
slide up and down the length of the Base,
but if it isn’t as smooth as expected (espe-
cially as the next components are added),
this will be corrected when the fine tuning
adjustments are performed.
Step 9.
Take the Undercarriage, and hook
the front edge (the end with the four bear-
ings and the knob of the brake) onto the
small 25mm square section on the Front
Beam. The four bearings of the front edge
fit either side of this small section. Lift the
rear of the Undercarriage up until the rear
bearings contact the Rear Beam.
Step 13.
Remove the four hex bolts and
washers from the Column Base
Vertical Column
Looking at the underside of the Vertical
Column, you will see a large nut in the
centre that has been factory fitted and
tightened to the correct torque setting.
There are also 7 holes precision drilled
in an arc which are preset stops for posi-
tions around the Z axis. In time, this bolt
may need to be retightened if it starts to
loosen.
Step 14.
Position the Vertical Column
onto the Column Base. The accurate
setup of the column will be done at a
later step. Replace the hex bolts and
tighten just past hand-tight at this stage.
The correct orientation when mounting
the column, is with the flat, non-powder-
coated section facing towards the front
of the workcentre, and the vertical thread
to the back.
Step 10.
The two rear bearings of the
Undercarriage may need to be backed
off slightly to ensure the two components
join together fully.
Step 11.
Using a fine-grade oil, lightly sat-
urate the felt located under the Column
Base. This helps keep the bearings free
of dust, and allow the assembly to travel
more freely.

Tool Support Beam
Step 15.
Remove the Y Axis rotation
brake bolt and set it aside nearby.
Beam Support
For machines purchased with a Tool
Support Beam that is 900mm or
1300mm, there is additional outboard
support provided for the longer Beams.
Skip to Step 22 if you have a 600mm
Beam.
Step 19.
Insert the Beam Support Arm
into the Undercarriage, but do not tighten
the locking bolt at this stage.
Step 16.
Remove the bolt from the back
of the Tool Support Beam, including the
sleeve and washers.
Step 20.
Remove the bolt and washer
from the back of the Tool Support Beam.
Step 17.
Balance the Tool Support
Beam and slide the end into the hole in
the Vertical Column. While still balanc-
ing the beam, reattach the bolt, washers
and sleeve, and re-tighten the bolt.
Step 21.
Insert the Beam Support Post
into the Beam Support Arm. Screw the
bolt back into the end of the Tool Support
Beam and tighten. Next, tighten the bolt
to lock the Beam Support Post in posi-
tion. Finally, tighten the retaining bolt for
the Beam Support Arm.
The Beam Support Post bolt MUST
be loosened any time the height of
the Tool Support Beam is going to be
changed.
Failure to do so can result in perma-
nent damage to the machine.
Step 18.
Reattach the Y Axis rotation
brake bolt.
To allow rotation of the Tool Support
Beam around the Y Axis, both these
components are loosened so the tool
can be angled to the workpiece any-
where from +90 degrees to -90 degrees.
