Fastening the tape to a flat surface

– Observe the alignment of the tape to the
sensor head!
– To ensure system accuracy, tapes must not
touch with the magnetic side.
1. Mark the reference edge of the tape on the machine
part (Fig. 4-4, A).
2. Thoroughly remove any oil, grease, dust, etc. (use
acetone or similar) from the mounting surface of the
tape and allow to dry completely.
3. For all tapes the printed arrow must point in the same
direction as the arrow on the part label.
4.
For all incremental tapes with reference
point the reference point is also visually
marked (see section 3.4.2).
5. Pull back the film from the back end of the tape
(Fig. 4-4, B), align the tape and lightly attach the tape
(Fig. 4-4, C).
6. Remove another section of film (Fig. 4-4, D), align the
tape and gently press down (Fig. 4-4, E).
7. Check for correct alignment as soon as the entire tape
is affixed and press the tape down firmly.
