Design Guidelines
1.
Verify the tolerances of the scale's mounting
surface given in the Interface Drawing.
2.
Verify the dimensions of the scale benching
edge (groove or straight edge) given in the
Interface Drawing.
3.
Calculate the length of CET™ Scale required for
your application. Refer to the Interface Drawing.
4.
Tape scales less than 1000mm can be installed by
hand against a straight edge. For lengths greater
than 1000mm, tape scale applicator tools are
needed:
Top Mount Configuration:
Applicator tool Model Number: TSAT-CET
Side Mount Configuration:
Applicator tool Model Number: TSAT-SM-PPT
5.
If the tape scale is being installed into a 6mm
grove, it must be installed by hand (regardless of
scale length). Refer to the Interface Drawing.
6.
If machining the mounting surface is undesirable,
or not possible, a temporary straight edge can be
used that meets the dimensions and tolerances
specified in the Interface Drawing.
Two kinds of temporary straight edge can be
used -
• Type I (thin)-
Temporary Straight Edge of thickness
0.76 ± 0.05 mm (0.030 ± 0.002 inches).
Refer to the Interface Drawing for additional
dimensional requirements. A steel rule may be
one of the options for this type of temporary
straight edge.
• Type II (thick)-
Temporary straight edge with minimum
thickness 9.53mm (0.375 inches). Refer to the
Interface Drawing for additional dimensional
requirements.
NOTE:
See the appropriate section on Tape Applicator Tool
installations.
