- Page 2 Basic Installation Principles scale should be centered and be aligned such that it could cover the whole travel length of the machine. If in any case it does not cover the whole travel length, it is advisable to install a screw to limit the travel so that the scale will not be accidentally damaged by over-traveling.

- Page 16 X12. Position the Reader Head such that it has an allowance of about 5mm from the end of the scale.
- Page 17 X13. With the Red Plastic in between the reader head and the scale (this is to get the gap correct), use the scriber to mark the 2 holes. Or you can use a F-clamp to clamp the reader head to the scale and use a dot punch to mark the hole.
- Page 18 X14. Move the Reader Head away.

- Page 29 Y axis installation...
- Page 30 Y1. Dismantle the 8 screws from the Red plastic securing the reader head. Remove screws from the Red Plastic...
- Page 31 Move the table towards you till it reaches the end of the travel.
- Page 32 Decide the configuration of mounting brackets and how you want to mount the Scale and Reader Head.
- Page 33 You can mount the Y axis in various configuration as shown in the following pictures.
- Page 34 Use a scriber to mark the slot of the scale.
- Page 35 Drill and Tap holes for mounting the scale.
- Page 36 Mount the scale with the screw.
- Page 37 Use a Vernier Caliper to gauge the distance from the table slide to the scale height, lock the vernier. We will use this distance to level the scale at the other end. (see the next slide).
- Page 38 Using the locked vernier, align the scale so that it will be parallel.
- Page 39 With the scale aligned, use a scriber to mark the slot...
- Page 40 Y10. Move the scale away and Drill and Tap.
- Page 41 Y11. Drill and Tap another hole below, this is for securing the cable later.
- Page 42 Y12. Remove the scale.
- Page 43 Y13. Mount the scale with the mounting block Mounting block...
- Page 44 Y14. Install the scale on the other end using the Mounting Block...
- Page 45 Y15. This is the view of the scale with the mounting block installed...
- Page 46 Y16. Check visually that the scale is install parallel. If alignment is out by too much, try to realign again before using dial gauge.
- Page 47 Y17. Set the dial gauge to zero to check the scale flatness...
- Page 48 Y18. Travel to the other end and check the dial.
- Page 49 Y19. Add a shim to make the scale flat and check the dial again.
- Page 50 Y21. Use the dial to check the parallelism of the scale...
- Page 51 Y22. Adjust the scale to try to reduce the parallelism error. Within 0.020mm will be recommended.
- Page 52 Y23. Estimate the position of the mounting bracket and use a scriber to mark the holes to drill...
- Page 53 Y24. Drill and Tap the holes...
- Page 54 Y25. Mount the bracket and tighten the screws.
- Page 55 Y26. Check the space between the scale and the Reader Read. If the red plastic can move in and out nicely, it is installed correctly Check with the red plastic to check the gap between the scale and reader head...
- Page 56 Y27. Mount the cable to the machine with the provided screws and clip, so it is tidy and prevent entanglement.

- Page 68 Tighten the screws and the nut for adjustment of viewing angle.
- Page 69 Install the DRO with the collet holder plate. Tighten the nut at the bottom.
- Page 70 Connect the Power cable, Scales connector and Earth cable.
- Page 71 The mTECH DRO accept 100~240Vac and there are normally 2 ways to connect the power to the DRO. a) If there is a power socket on your machine, you can plug in directly. b) If there is NO power socket, you need to check if the electrical cabinet has any suitable source of electric supply.
- Page 72 D10. Check if the electric supply on the transformer is suitable. We will connect to 220Vac (1 wire will go 220V and the other wire will go to 0V...
- Page 73 D11. Drill a hole for the power cable. Pull the power cable through.
- Page 74 D12. Tie a knot on the cable to prevent it from been pulled out of the cabinet. Strip the cable.
- Page 75 D13. Power OFF the machine. Then connect the cables. (the black cable to 0V and the white cable to 220V). It is advisable to connect the green cable to Earth/Ground.
- Page 76 D14. Power on and check that the DRO is ok. Check that Scales are reading correctly.
- Page 77 D15. Tied the cables together with the cable-ties provided. (DRO side)
- Page 78 D16. Tied the cables together with the cable-ties provided. (Scales side)
- Page 79 D17. Installation is completed. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder. Any questions/doubts, please email info@thedrostore.com We are always glad to be of service to you. Cheers.
