This quick start guide provides basic instructions for retrofitting the TM-50/TM-50XL to accept a vision system. Follow these
instructions to update the base machine and controller.
Update TM-50 Baseplate
1.
Remove Controller
Disconnect all controller cables and remove the Controller from the Controller Baseplate.
Set aside.
2. Remove Controller Baseplate
Using a 5/32” hex wrench, remove the (2) 1/4” BHCS from the top of the Controller Pedestal.
Set the screws aside.
Remove the Standoff from the TM-50 Baseplate. Discard the Standoff.
3. Retrofit Kit Template
Tape the Retrofit Kit Template to the back right corner of the TM-50 Baseplate. The template
shows the location of the (2) Vision Bracket holes which are indicated by two circles with
cross-hatch symbols.
If the TM-50 baseplate already has holes at this location, skip Steps 4-5 and proceed to Step
6: Update Controller.
If the TM-50 does not have holes at this location, continue with the next step.
4. Mark Hole Locations
Use a center punch to mark the hole locations and prepare the spot for drilling. Remove the
template and squirt a small amount of lubricant on the hole markings.
5. Drill & Tap Vision Bracket Holes
Using a 21/64 Drill Bit, drill through the baseplate at the two hole locations. Brush away any
metal filings from the drilling process. Using a 10/24 Tap, create threads in the holes.
