Mounting suggestions:
• To take advantage of the bore-sight beam placement offered by
the M12 laser emitter, use a two-part clamp mount or a
mounting block with a precision-drilled hole. Allow minimum
clearance for the 12.7 mm (0.50") diameter housing, max. dia.
12.83 mm (0.505").
• Clamp on both sides of the label. Do not clamp only on the
labeled area. Use only plastic-tipped screws or set screws —
not metal — to avoid compression of the housing.
Mounting bracket, assembly SMB46X3, is available, and is
recommended for use with the M12 (see Figure 1 and ordering
information on page 7). It consists of:
•
A black-anodized aluminum block with holes drilled for
mounting in any of 3 directions and plastic set screws, and
• An adjustable stainless steel bracket with 3 spring-loaded
screws (2 of which are used for precise alignment).
The mounting block may be ordered separately, (model SMB127;
see pages 6 and 7).
To mount the M12, insert the laser emitter into the black mounting
block, through any of the three holes. Check to be sure that the
label area of the emitter is not aligned with a set screw, then tighten
the set screws (using the supplied 3/64" Allen wrench) so the
emitter is held snugly in place. Then mount the block to the
adjustable baseplate (or to your own bracket). Mount the bracket
base using your own M5 or #10 screws or bolts, and then check
for alignment (see page 5). Tighten or loosen one or two of the
precision alignment screws (using the supplied 2 mm Allen
wrench) until the laser is accurately aligned.
