Installing the Force Sensor
The mounting of the force transducer is completely dependent on the configuration of the equipment
and the type of sensor in use. In the case of a load cell, an equipment integrator may have already
installed the transducer or special tooling may be needed to accommodate it. An inline pressure
transducer can be integrated with the air/oil/hydraulic cylinder via the inlet port or pressure port on a
modified air over oil cylinder.
General mounting guidelines:
Be sure to avoid mounting the sensor on or too close to an electrical bus;
Take precautions to isolate the load cell from the welding ground;
Do not mount the sensor within the loop formed by the weld head secondary bus;
The sensor should be tightly secured at its mounting point and should be isolated as best as
possible from sources of magnetic fields.
The yellow force cable connector couples with the force sensor.
The Livingston Monitor-Sensor cable may be modified to work with qualified third-party sensors.
