4�1�3�2� Sensor mounting
Please refer to "2�1� Sensor Handling and Installation" on page 10 for instructions on how to mount the
QE2008-W sensors on any ferromagnetic surface.
For this measurement, it is enough that only one sensor is mounted on only one tie bar, and it's not mandatory that
each of the 4 tie bars of the machine have 2 QE2008-W sensors mounted. However, we reccomend to mount the
sensors as follows and run an injection cycle, in order to understand which one is giving the "best signal", and later
focus only on the chosen sensor, turning off the uneccessary ones.
Procedure
• Choose one pair of QE2008-W sensors.
• Select one of the 4 tie bars of the machine to mount
the chosen sensors on.
• Mount one sensor on the tie bar, placing it away from
the clamping platen at least at a distance equal to the
tie bar diameter. This placement assures an even and
correct measurement of the deformation of the tie bar.
• Mount the second sensor at approximately 180° from
the first.
• Repeat the mounting process for the rest of the tie
bars (one couple of sensors per tie bar).
- The sensors must be positioned parallel to the tie bar!
- Mount the sensors when there is no load applied (e�g� no force
applied on the object / mold open)
By operating the machine in a slow and controlled manner, ensure
that
- the sensors do not obstruct the normal operation of the machi-
ne�
- the integrity of the sensors is not compromised�
