Accurate Bracket And Feeler Gauge; Signal Amplitude Adjustment - Renishaw ATOM Installation Manual

Accurate bracket and feeler gauge

Fix the readhead directly onto a mounting bracket with a thickness of 2 ±0.02 mm
then use a 0.5 mm feeler gauge to set the rideheight.
NOTE: Bracket A-9401-0103 is not suitable for this installation method.
For more information on system tolerances refer to the installation drawings on www.renishaw.com.
For more information on bracket design contact your local Renishaw representative.
1 Mount the readhead onto the bracket using 2 off M2 x 6 screws.
2 Loosely mount the readhead bracket onto the axis.
3 Place the feeler gauge between the readhead bracket and the scale.

4 Tighten the bracket fixing screws whilst ensuring good contact between bracket, shim and
surface of the scale.
5 Connect the system up. See pages 11 to 16 for relevant system connection.
6 Check the readhead set-up LED is Green along the full axis of travel.
7 Proceed with 'System calibraton' section.

Signal amplitude adjustment

Mount the readhead directly onto a bracket, then, using the Renishaw USB set-up tool kit and software
or oscilloscope, adjust the readhead to maximise the signal size.
