Mounting linear Glass Scales (with adhesive backing), Model Number PVGL-T
Make sure that the mounting surface is dry and clean.
Align the scale by placing the edges against the benching pins.
Peel off the glass scale adhesive backing and press into place.
Apply a hard epoxy, such as Tra-Con’s Tra-Bond 2116, to the one end of the scale (at the end benching pin
side, if an end benching pin is used).
Using one end secured with hard epoxy, allows thermal expansion from the benched end of the scale.
Allow the adhesives to fully cure. A cure time of 12 hours is required for the glass scale's pressure sensitive
adhesive to achieve the best performance and reliability.
