Installation of Linear Scales

Positioning the Scale

Note: Before beginning mounting procedure, use talc-free gloves or finger cots to handle the scales.

"Benching" the scale to the system means aligning the scale by means of benching pins. Pin locations are described on the appropriate interface drawing. Two benching pins are recommended on the long side of the scale and one at the end as shown . This is marked datum A on the interface drawing.

1 Position the benching pins in from either end. 20% of the overall scale length is the recommended location from the edge.

2 Be sure the benching pins do not extend too high in the Z direction to prevent mechanical interference with the sensor or sensor mount.
