Mounting Linear Glass Scales
NOTE:
Before beginning the mounting procedure,
use talc-free gloves or finger cots to handle
the scales.
B2.0
MicroE Systems' linear scales should be permanently
affixed to the mounting surface, using epoxy and
silicone adhesive.
"Benching" the scale to the system means
aligning the scale by means of benching pins.
Two benching pins are recommended on the long
side of the scale and one at the end as shown.
B2.1
Position the benching pins inward from either end
of the scale. 20% of the overall scale length is the
recommended location from the edge.
B2.2
Be sure the benching pins do not exceed the height
of the scale to prevent mechanical interference with
the sensor or sensor mount.
