Fixation plates
F igure 8
Normally 2 fixation plates are sufficient, positioned at the 2 load cells which are
furthest apart in the scale. The fixation plates shall be well centred to the rubber
feet. One practical method to achieve centring is to push all fixation plates in same
direction, in contact with the rubber elements and with the plates in this position,
For the symmetrical fixation plates:
Carefully mark the position of the fixation plate with sharp pen marks on the
floor or use small pieces of tape positioned close to the fixation plate. Lift away the
load carrier and drill holes as required for the fixation screws, using the fixation
plate as a template. Finally reposition the load carrier.
For the asymmetrical fixation plates:
In this case the holes can be drilled without lifting the load carrier, because
the fixation plate extends outside the load carrier. Just make sure the fixation
plates do not move while drilling the holes. For fixation with plugs, drill with same
diameter as the holes to get centre marks. Then rotate the plate 45° and drill the
larger holes for the plugs.
