Location Selection - Grizzly H6087 Installation Manual

Location Selection

To select proper intallation locations:
1.
Scales should be installed on flat machined
surfaces.
2.
The opening of the scale must not be installed
in direct exposure to metal shavings, oil,
water, dust or other foreign objects as illus-
trated in Figure 4. The provided covers
should be installed.
Figure 4. Scale exposure.
3.
In cases where machined flat surfaces are
not available, an mounting strip or strip
should be used to provide a flat surface for
the installation. The mounting strip, shown
in Figure 5, must be as short as possible to
provide a rigid surface.

5.
All tapped screw holes must have at least
six threads to allow the screw to be firmly
secured. For the screw that is needed to
secure a heavy load, the tapped holes must
have at least eight threads. After tapping, the
holes must be deburred and cleaned.
6.
All cables must be fixed, but also allow for
the maximum machine travel movements.
Figure 7 shows the recommended minimum
radius that should be used for bending the
scale cable.
