WBX Scanner Disassembly

This section explains the techniques for dismantling and packing a Cyberware Whole Body X Color 3D Scanner (Model WBX)

WARNING:

Many of the parts are very heavy and very sensitive; care and proper equipment should be used to put them in place. Many of the parts contain either carefully aligned or sensitive electronic assemblies. Take extreme caution not to damage or jar the systems. It is required that, at least, 3 able-bodied persons are available to assemble this platform effectively. Always lift carefully using proper lifting techniques. Improper lifting without qualified help may result in serious injury.

Cyberware recommends that the disassembly of the scanner be performed by a Cyberware factory-trained technician. This guide may be used to aid in the process of disassembly when a technician is not available.

We highly recommend that you consult with Cyberware Support before you begin the disassembly process.

Required Tools

See the WBX Scanner Parts List for a complete list of tools that are required to disassemble a Cyberware Whole Body X Color 3D Scanner (Model WBX). All required tools are included in the scanner's toolbox.

Procedure

1. Exit the scanning software, if it is currently running.
2. Dismantle the enclosure, if necessary.
3. Turn the power off at the scanner's power supply.
4. Disconnect the USB cable that runs from the scanner to the PC, then pack the cable into the shipping container.
5. Disconnect the AC cord and place it into the shipping container.
6. Disconnect the scanhead power cables and USB cables from the scanheads.
7. Remove the cables from the holding clips on the scanhead arms.
8. Remove the power supply from the enclosure, if necessary.
9. At the power supply, disconnect the Motor, Encoder, and Home Switch cables.
10. Disconnect any remaining cables and place all cables into a shipping container.
11. Draw the motion carriage on tower 1 towards the floor by carefully tugging on the belt that is attached to it. There is a 30-pound counterweight attached to the carriage, so exercise extreme care to not release the belt or allow it to run free. Bring the carriage to a distance of 1 meter (3') above the floor.
12. Use the clamps to pinch the belt on tower 1 together, in order to provide enough friction to hold the counterweight. Slip the belt on itself slightly to insure the teeth "lock" into one another.
13. Dismount arm 2/3 by removing the M8 × 20 screws from the carriage to the top of the carriage while having (2) two assistants support the ends of the scanhead arm. Do not remove the motion carriage.
14. Carefully move the arm to a location near to the shipping container and set down carefully.
15. Draw the motion carriage on tower 0 towards the floor by carefully tugging on the belt that is attached to it. There is a 30-pound counterweight attached to the carriage, so exercise extreme care to not release the belt or allow it to run free. Bring the carriage to a distance of 1 meter (3') above the floor.
16. Use the clamps to pinch the belt on tower 0 together, in order to provide enough friction to hold the counterweight. Slip the belt on itself slightly to insure the teeth "lock" into one another.
17. Dismount arm 0/1 by removing the M8 × 20 screws from the carriage to the top of the carriage while having (2) two assistants support the ends of the scanhead arm. Do not remove the motion carriage.
18. Carefully move the arm to a location near to the shipping container and set it down carefully.
19. Place the 2 arms (with scanheads fully attached) into the crate. Reference the movie (below) for specific crate packing instructions (Internet Connection Required).

WBX Crate Packing

20. Locate the 180mm × 90mm × 90mm (7" × 3.5" × 3.5") assembly block in the toolbox.
21. Remove the taper pins from tower 1 by pulling them out with pliers.
22. Remove the nut, washers and bolt from the top-inside hole (ONLY) in the tower mounting bracket.
23. Push a 6" screwdriver through the aligned holes to provide a pivot point to lower the tower.

NOTE:
We use a screwdriver instead of one of the mounting bolts because the screwdriver has a much smaller diameter than the bolt. The tower needs to be raised slightly as the leading edge passes over the main truss; the bolt will not allow enough lift. The tower will slightly scrape on the frame as it approaches an upright position.

24. Hold the belt in place, then release the clamps. Do not allow the motion carriage to drop. Hold it in position by squeezing the belt together and keeping the teeth of the belt tightly locked.
25. Slowly raise the motion carriage until the counterweight is at the bottom of the tower.
26. One or two assistants should now steady the tower in preparation to remove the remaining bolts.

WARNING:
Do not hold or lift the vertical towers using the scanhead arm support bracket. Use only the black painted surfaces of the towers or the rubberized handles.

27. Remove the three (3) remaining bolts, three (3) flat washers, three (3) lock washer and three (3) nuts. Thread the nuts to the bolt and place them into the appropriate bag for shipping.
28. Place the support block into position on the main truss, near to tower 0.
29. Lower tower 1 until it contacts the support block.
30. Remove the screwdriver from the mounting bracket, then place the tower into the shipping crate.

WARNING:
COUNTERWEIGHTS While moving the towers BE AWARE AT ALL TIMES of the counterweight. If the tower is tilted more than 15 degrees, the weights may begin to slide, and if allowed to pick up speed they will cause considerable damage. Carry the towers level or with the motor end slightly lower than the other end.

NOTE:

Tower 0 Notes The tower can be dismounted from either side; however, we recommend that tower 0 be dismounted over the leg 0 side. If this is not possible, consult with for specific instructions. Tower 0 mounts to the main truss in a similar manner to tower 1 with these additional cautions: If tower 0 is raised or lowered over the leg 0 side, care must be taken not to bind the motor mounting bolts on the mounting flange of the main truss. Because Tower 0 pivots on the same axis as the motor, the weight of the motor tends to cause the assembly to roll as the tower is being raised or lowered. Countering the inherent roll while moving the tower makes this tower more difficult to disassemble.

31. Move the support block to the tower 1 end of the main truss in preparation to lower tower 0.
32. Remove the taper pins from tower 0 by pulling them out with pliers.
33. Remove the nut, washers and bolt from the top-inside hole (ONLY) in the tower mounting bracket.
34. Push a 6" screwdriver through the aligned holes to provide a pivot point to lower the tower.

NOTE:
We use a screwdriver instead of one of the mounting bolts because the screwdriver has a much smaller diameter than the bolt. The tower needs to be raised slightly as the leading edge passes over the main truss; the bolt will not allow enough lift. The tower will slightly scrape on the frame as it approaches an upright position.

35. Hold the belt in place, then release the clamps. Do not allow the motion carriage to drop. Hold it in position by squeezing the belt together and keeping the teeth of the belt tightly locked.
36. Slowly raise the motion carriage until the counterweight is at the bottom of the tower.
37. One or two assistants should now steady the tower in preparation to remove the remaining bolts.

WARNING:
Do not hold or lift the vertical towers using the scanhead arm support bracket. Use only the black painted surfaces of the towers or the rubberized handles.

38. Remove the three (3) remaining bolts, three (3) flat washers, three (3) lock washer and three (3) nuts. Thread the nuts to the bolt and place them into the appropriate bag for shipping.
39. Lower tower 0 until it contacts the support block.
40. Remove the screwdriver from the mounting bracket, then place the tower into the shipping crate.

WARNING:
COUNTERWEIGHTS While moving the towers BE AWARE AT ALL TIMES of the counterweight. If the tower is tilted more than 15 degrees, the weights may begin to slide, and if allowed to pick up speed they will cause considerable damage. Carry the towers level or with the motor end slightly lower than the other end.

41. Raise the "leg end" (the end of the main truss that the platform legs attach to) of the main truss using a 2" × 4" board or some other piece of wood (large telephone directories also work well). This will make the removal of the hardware easier to accomplish.
42. Use pliers to remove the eight (8) taper pins that align the legs to the main truss.
43. Remove the platform legs from the main truss; eight (8) ½" × 13, 5½" bolts, lock washers, and flat washers for each leg. This procedure requires a ½" wrench and a ½" socket and socket wrench.
44. Place all fasteners and taper pins into a bag, then secure in the scanner's tool box.
45. Place the 2 legs in the shipping container.
46. Place the main truss in the shipping container.
47. Secure the scanner in the shipping container using tie-downs, straps and clamps.
48. Slide the crate top over the shipping crate.
49. Secure the top of the crate to the crate by a series of bolts and klimps
