Treon Industrial Node Treon Industrial Node 6 Treon Nut Adapter

This article describes how to install a Treon Industrial Node or Industrial Node 6 with the help of Treon Nut Adapter, with or without epoxy.

It is possible to install your Treon Industrial Node and Industrial Node 6 either with or without epoxy.

Option A: Nut adapter installation with epoxy:

Minimum thread length can be less than 9 mm depending on the amount of epoxy
Node alignment can be done manually

Option B: Nut adapter installation without epoxy:

Minimum thread length for the hole is 9 mm
Manual alignment is not possible

Using a nut adapter enables attaching the Industrial Node to a spot with less available space in diameter, a shorter M8 opening with less threading and with additional epoxy to uneven surface. It is possible to manually align the Industrial Node.

Installation with a Nut Adapter requires a Treon Nut Adapter, a flat surface of 25 mm diameter, a hole for M8 bolt with 9.5 mm depth of threading, and optional epoxy.

What you need

For this installation method you will need:

Treon Nut Adapter
Hole drilled into the machine surface
Silicone grease
Torque wrench
Epoxy (only for installation method with epoxy)
Optional: Threadlocker

Step 1: Grease the Nut Adapter

Apply and spread the silicon grease to the whole area of the larger Nut Adapter surface.

Step 2: Connect Adapter to Industrial Node

Now carefully screw the Nut Adapter to the thread of the Industrial Node.

Step 3: Tighten the Connection

Set torque in torque wrench to exactly 8 Nm. The SW size is 22 mm. Hold node with the SW 30 spanner or wrench and tighten the Nut Adapter to 8 Nm.

Step 4: Cleaning & Greasing Surface

Carefully clean the machine surface. Once it is clean, spread the silicon grease on the surface. Cover the whole area that the Nut Adapter will sit on.

Option A: Installation with Epoxy

Step 5a (Epoxy): Prepare Epoxy

Put on protective gloves.

Cut a suitable slice of the epoxy. No mix it between your fingers until the two phases have mixed and the color is uniform.

Use the epoxy within 2 to 3 minutes after mixing!

Please note: We recommend the Wurth ‘Metal Epoxy Stick’ for this step and have received good results with it. Of course you can use any suitable high-quality epoxy.

Step 6a (Epoxy): Epoxy to Nut Adapter

Place the epoxy on the Nut Adapter bottom surface and shape it around bolt as shown on the picture.

Step 7a (Epoxy): Node to Machine Surface

Now carefully screw the Industrial Node to surface of your machine. During the screwing make sure that the epoxy stays between the Nut Adapter and the machine surface by pressing it with your fingers.

Optionally, you can use a threadlocker if necessary.

Step 8a (Epoxy): Node Alignment

After you have fully screwed the Industrial Node to your machine, align the Node to machine so that the node axis points directly toward the drive or the non-drive end of the machine.
