  • Page 3: Introduction And Description

    Introduction and Description The X-102 Sensors measure the strain of tie bars in an injection- or pressure-molding ma- chine, such that the relationship between position and pressure can be captured. The strain, measured in units of microstrain, is directly proportional to the force and may easily be calculated: F = µε...
  • Page 4: Installation And Operation

    Installation and Operation In order to compensate properly for bending, the sensors are to be mounted at 180° on the tie bar, meaning that they are mounted precisely opposite each other. Preparation The Sensors must be spaced at least two tie bar diameters away from the tie bar •...
  • Page 5 The X-102 sensors are equipped with very strong magnets. Do not let the sensors get close to each other because they will immediately snap together and can only be separated using a great deal of force. Mounting a single sensor. Mounting two sensors and connect the The cable is secured to the T-piece.

    Help! What do I do when the zero reading is unstable ? • Because the measurement is very sensitive to shock and vibration, you can improve it as follows: 1. Reduce the closing speed, making the closure softer. 2. Clean the tie bar surface better at the measuring location, using a wire brush if necessary.
