Mounting Surface Preparation
B4.0
Inspect the mounting surface for any machining
irregularities. MicroE Systems recommends a surface
finish of better than 3.2 micrometers Ra.
B4.1
The straight edge (either permanent or temporary)
must be sharp on the benching side in order for
the Applicator Tool to use it as a guide. In order
for the tape scale to be mounted close to the straight
edge, the maximum radius of 0.127 mm (0.005
inches) should be used where the edge meets the
bottom of the mounting surface.
B4.2
Thoroughly clean the scale mounting surface and
reference edge using a cotton swab or lint-free cloth
dampened with isopropyl alcohol or acetone.
Remove all dust and particles.
B4.3
Mark the starting location on the mounting surface
where the tape scale will be applied (the left edge of
where the scale will be applied when the scale
reference edge is away from you). Also mark the
locations where the index and limit markers will
be applied. Refer to the Interface Drawing to identify
the reference points of the markers.
