Rtlf Datum Clamp; Rtlf End Covers - Renishaw ATOM RTLF Series Installation Manual

RTLF datum clamp

The datum clamp fixes the RTLF scale rigidly to the substrate at the location chosen.
CAUTION: The metrology of the system may be compromised if the datum clamp is not used.
It can be positioned anywhere along the axis depending upon the customers' requirements.
1. Remove the backing paper from the datum clamp. Place the datum clamp with cut-out
against the scale at the chosen location.
2. Place a small amount of adhesive (Loctite 435) in the cut-out on the datum clamp,
ensuring none of the adhesive wicks onto the scale surface.
Ensure the adhesive wicks along
the entire length of the cut-out.

RTLF end covers

The end cover kit is designed to be used with RTLF scale to provide protection for exposed scale ends.
NOTE: End covers are optional and can be fitted before or after readhead installation.
1. Remove the backing paper from the adhesive tape on the back of the end cover.
2. Align the markers on the edges of the end cover with the end of the scale and place the end
cover over the scale.
