5.0 FITTING THE SCALE GUARD
Each encoder includes a protective guard. This aluminium guard is intended to protect the scale from impact damage.
The guard can be attached to the machine casting or by means of the scale support pillars (Refer to Figure 5.1).
To fit the guard to the support pillars, measure and mark off the distance between the center of each pillar. For SHG,
drill two 8.5mm (3/8") holes at either end of the guard. The guard can be attached to the pillars by using the button
head screws provided. After the guard is attached, move the machine axis to both extents of its travel ensuring that the
guard does not interfere with or rub against the reader head.
