Author Topic: Bench top test rig for AW3 components Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 03-14-2002 06:03 AM                     I have obtained all the electronic,electrical & necessary components from one of several Christie AW3 platters & I want to put together a bench top test rig from these components for troubleshooting & testing AW3 components. However,how do I mount the platter bearing & axle assembly & control sensor assembly before mounting the feed control plate assembly?  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-14-2002 01:47 PM                     A test rig for AW-3 components, why? According to the Christie manual (Bevan also told me this) would be just to swap motor control cards and LED sensors between decks for ops checking purposes. The component on Christie platters most prone to failure is the LED sensors. In any case, I would recommend you obtaining a Christie platter tachometer for use in setting the rpm....this is a big time saver as timing the platter by counting revs is a real pain (been there-done that!).  |  IP: Logged
