Note
Moving the slider in excess of the above moving
margins may damage the scale unit. Therefore, be
sure to use the slider within the range indicated by the
effective movement marks on the unit.
5.
Items exceeding the effective movement length of the
scale unit require mechanical limiting mechanisms
(stoppers, etc.). In these cases, be sure to implement
the necessary measures before mounting the scale
unit.
3-1-3. Protecting the cable connectors
1.
Lead cables with connectors are attached to the slider
of the scale unit.
2.
Do not pull strongly on or repeatedly bend these lead
cables as this may sever the cables and result in
malfunctions.
3.
The lead cables should be supported in accordance
with the movement conditions in order to avoid
damaging the cables or connectors.
3-1-4. Mounting the scale cover
If there is the chance that the scale unit may come into
contact with cut or measured objects, tools or jigs, the unit
should be protected with a sufficiently strong cover as
shown in the figure below in order to maintain the scale
unit’s performance.
