Installing the Base and Focusing Column

Tools used

Allen key provided ★

Assistance for installation

Installing the focusing column will be
considerably easier if you have someone

help you.

The Leica XL Universal Baseplate is

predrilled, both on the longitudinal and
on the lateral sides, with the holes necessary
for installing the base. If, however, you plan to
use the inspection table with the 300×300 mm
travel range, the focusing column must be
installed on the lateral side.

Installing the column

1. Place the Leica XL Universal Baseplate onto
the table so that the desired installation
holes point over the edge of the table.

Move the Leica XL Universal Baseplate

•

only far enough over the table edge to
make the drill holes accessible. If you pull the
baseplate too far over the edge of the table, it
can fall. This may lead to injury or damage.

2. While having another person, if possible,

hold the Leica XL Universal Baseplate
steady, screw the focusing column in place
using the screws provided.
