Positioning the Yokes
The CFT-V clamping fixture yokes are usually set in place at the factory, based on the information given at the time of
the order. If it becomes necessary to reposition the yokes, proceed as follows:
1.
Referring to Figure 4 below, set the first yoke at a short distance from the end bracket and tighten the yoke screw.
2.
Using calipers, set the opposite yoke at a distance
S
from the opposite bracket and tighten the yoke screws.
Note:
Distance
S
is equal to the distance of the first yoke from the end bracket plus the transducer spacing (see
Setting the Transducer Spacing and
TAG
path
3.
Set the
TAG
path
one side at a time and tighten the yoke screws before repeating this step for the other side.
