Mounting the Tachometer
The tachometer (tach) option outputs a set number of pulses for each wheel
rotation. This tells the Axiom the precise conveyor speed, allowing it to
determine the exact package position. Tracking allows for multiple boxes to be
in the scan window at the same time. Bar codes on each box are decoded and
assigned to the correct box. Because the exact layout of many conveyors is
unique, it is impossible to give you exact directions for mounting your
tachometer. Follow the guidelines below as closely as possible when mounting.
Tachometers are often used in systems with several conveyor belts. Mount
the tach on the section of the conveyor the scanning is performed on.
Mount the tach on the underside of the conveyor, away from areas where
the conveyor bows downward. A good place to mount the tach is on one
end of the conveyor, underneath the drive shaft.
Make sure the tach assembly angles in the same direction that the
underside of the conveyor travels, as shown in
Figure 3-15
.
The tach must make good contact with the conveyor.
Use the general mounting kit (1000020567,
see Figure 3-15
) to make
tachometer mounting and setup easier. The extrusion mounting kit
(1000020568) is the same as shown here, but also includes mounting
hardware for attaching to Accu-Sort mounting structures.
If you are not using the tachometer mounting kit, create a weight or spring
assembly to put tension on the back of the tachometer, ensuring that the
wheel makes strong contact with the conveyor.
