Checkstand Mounting

There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capacity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when calculating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items.

 

 

 

If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75” (1.9 cm) plywood,

 

 

 

you’ll need to add a backing strip that supports the area routed out for the

 

 

 

support flanges (see Figure 2-5). This support strip should minimally be

 

 

 

made of 0.75” (1.9 cm) thick plywood and be approximately 4.0” (10.2 cm)

NOTE

wide and 14.0” (35.6 cm) long. This strip should be glued as well as screwed

to the underside of the countertop.
