6.3. Technology Two strong magnets press the strain gauge of the patented sensor QE1008-W onto the material to be measured. The strain gauge is located under the foil between the two magnets. The magnets press the strain gauge that strongly onto the surface that transmission through friction occurs. The surface strains are hereby transmitted directly onto the strain gauge which creates the same effect of an applied strain gauge (bonding). -

Page 16: Mounting And Installation
MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION These sensors are precision instruments with a resolution of 0.001mm. The devices must therefore be handled with great care. This instruction manual must be read and observed by every user. 9.1. Mounting for bending compensated tie bar strain measurement 9.1.1. - Page 17 9.1.2. Positioning the sensor Turn both knurled nuts so that they are flush with the end of the threaded rod. The long edge of the sensor must be placed onto the surface to be measured and then tilted. The magnets pull the sensor onto the tie bar. Subject to technical modifications...
- Page 18 If the magnets do not automatically jump onto the measuring surface, press down the knurled nuts one after the other. The magnets should now jump onto the tie bar. The attraction force of the magnets is now optimal. – The sensor on the tie bar may only be moved fractionally. –...
- Page 19 Remove the 2nd sensor from the carrying case and complete steps 1 to 4. – The sensor must be positioned parallel to the tie bar! – The 2nd sensor pair must be placed exactly opposite (180°) and parallel to the 1st sensor at the same position! Incorrect! Incorrect! Not 180°...

- Page 27 Remove the replacement sensor from the carrying case and place it carefully within range of the receiver. Press and hold the button on the sensor (~4 seconds) until the LEDs flash alternately red/ green. Release the button → the receiver automatically locates the QE1008-W sensor and assigns it to the previously selected address.

Page 30: Measuring The Tie Bar Strain Distribution
10.5. Measuring the tie bar strain distribution During the tie bar strain measurement, the machine must not be operated or closed at high speed as vibrations can affect the measurement. 10.5.1. Preparation The sensor system must be activated in accordance with Chapter 10.4.1. Before measuring, make sure that the sensors or the strain gauge are stretched and compressed (settle). -
Page 31: Measuring The Tie Bar Bending (Tie Bar Crack Detection)
10.6. Measuring the tie bar bending (tie bar crack detection) The software can display each sensor separately and thus measure the bending per tie bar simultaneously and without additional device. If the inner bending is less than the outer one by factors (e.g.: 80 to 400µε), this is an indication that the tie bar (the column) is cracked on the inside and no longer carries locally. -
