Scale & Brackets
Simple L-bracket used for linkage.
Drilled & tapped the column for
10-32 button-head screws.
Detail of the older style SPC socket on a horizontal scale (manual).
The newer models have an improved (enclosed) receptacle.
Cable
Installed rubber washers on the scale linkages allowing a little floating to reduce the strain on the transducers.
The RF-25 mill's free-floating
Z-axis design works so well that now all of my mill & lathe scales
are attached at only one end while the other end remains captured but loosened
to allow floating.
This approach greatly reduces minor out of alignment induced stress on the
transducer. This
design also helps to reduce DRO jitter as does a clean, de-burred transducer
with NR capacitors.
Spiral cable wrap for protection.
