3. Overview of Mechanical Components
Mechanical commissioning is described in this third volume of the manual. The mechani-
cal structure and its functioning begin in the second chapter with the base frame compo-
nents. Next, calibration is explained. The electrical connections of the measuring system
complete the third volume.
3.1 General Points Before Initial Operation
The MTS 8202.LLT measuring system achieves a resolution in the micrometer range.
For this reason, the mechanical components and sensors are matched to one another in
every detail. Insofar as is constructively possible, mechanical assemblies and individual
parts which are not subject to adjustment have been used. Such parts/assemblies which
have to be adjusted for functional reasons have been adjusted by Micro-Epsilon.
The commissioning of MTS 8202.LLT does not require any adjustment work by the cus-
tomer. The customer is responsible for providing a protective device to avoid a collision
between the strip material (target) and the measuring system.

Fig. 8 measuring system (C-frame) with linear guide
The base frame with the upper belt and lower belt are the core elements of the system.
The base frame accommodates the triangulation scanners and the remaining compo-
nents. The base frame consists of a solid aluminum frame.
The linear guide and the drive for the horizontal displacement of the base frame are on
the bottom of the measuring system
- to position the measuring system on the target,
- to calibrate the measuring system with the calibration object (=reference).
CAUTION
Danger of crushing,
shearing or impact due
to uncontrolled move-
ment or moving parts of
the measuring system.
The operator is responsi-
ble for safeguarding.
