ALTERNATE INSTALLATIONS
In the event that the recommended installation method is not possible, the LE‑R‑50‑REVB
may be installed using either the preferred alternate installation, or if also not possible,
the alternate installation. Do not use either of the following two methods if the
recommended installation method is possible.
PREFERRED ALTERNATE INSTALL
The stroke/velocity sensor is mounted on
the molding machine injection unit sled
near the front (below, top). This method
enables the stroke/velocity sensor to
detect the movement of the screw and
not the movement of the sled. However,
this method subjects the sensor to higher
temperatures due to proximity to the barrel
and heater bands. The LE‑R‑50‑REVB must
be mounted at least 6–8” (152–203 mm)
away from barrel heaters.
ALTERNATE INSTALLATION
PREFERRED ALTERNATE INSTALLATION
ALTERNATE INSTALL
The stroke/velocity sensor is mounted to
the injection molding machine near the
back of the injection unit sled (below,
bottom). This method enables the stroke/
velocity sensor to detect the movement
of the screw, but also will detect the
movement of the injection unit sled. Also,
some loss of the usable length of the
sensor’s cable will result.
