15.5 Installation using the mounting aid method
Remove the alignment brackets prior to
installation using the setting shim.
When mounting a readhead to a machine
slideway via an unconstrained bracket, an
installation mounting aid can be used to
accurately position, secure and fit the bracket to
the slideway. The mounting aid clamps securely
to the extrusion, allowing any machine slideway
to be adjusted and secured horizontally in the
correct location before readhead mounting.
NOTE: 18 mm mounting aid and 3 mm hex key
required (see
section 10.3.1
on page 18).
1
Ensure the mounting aid is in the unlocked position.
Use a 3 mm hex key to engage the lock mechanism.
3
Ensure the mounting aid clasp is inserted under the extrusion lip.
2
3 mm
Slide the readhead away from its installation position and fix the
mounting aid to the extrusion – see steps 3 and 4.
4
Align the readhead bracket with the mounting aid and secure with
screws and nuts.
