FLEX MOUNT
The sensor can be installed at an inclination of up to 30°. To adapt the coordinate system of the sensor to this
circumstance, the new angle must be saved in the sensor memory.
With FLEX MOUNT the inclination angle and the distance from the reference surface are automatically
detected and saved in the sensor memory so the coordinate system can be rotated correctly. It is important
that the taught-in surface is even and covers as much of the entire measuring range of the sensor as possible.
This function is required when…
-
the angle to the reference surface is unknown
-
a standard installation (right angle to the reference surface or the object) is not present
-
the reference surface is to be automatically taught in and shifted
-
the required accuracy of the measurement results will not be achieved otherwise
-
the background is to be suppressed
Effects
-
The coordinate system is rotated by the current inclination angle
-
The reference surface is taught in; the reference point is no longer valid
-
Objects behind the reference surface are ignored
-
The axes are no longer referred to as X and Z, but as M and K
-
When the FLEX MOUNT function is activated, this is indicated by an angle symbol
on the left
side of the display
