Mounting with C
C
Fix-Flex bracket
The C-Fix-Flex bracket can be positioned very flexibly on the Twin Stick. It does not increase
the length of the safety light curtain miniTwin2.
Using the C-Fix-Flex bracket, Twin Sticks can be mounted with a butt joint or at right angles
to each other without a reduction in the resolution at the butt joints.
Using the C-Fix-Flex bracket the Twin Sticks can be mounted such that the protective field
is either parallel or perpendicular to the mounting surface. The C-Fix-Flex bracket makes it
possible to correct the mounting angle by ±4°.
How to mount the miniTwin2 using C-Fix-Flex brackets:
The C-Fix-Flex bracket can not be used on a device with a protective field height of
120 mm.
First mount the C-Fix-Flex brackets ( ) hand-tight and such that the Twin Stick is
positioned at the correct height.
In applications in which juddering and vibration can occur as well as for sizes
V
360 mm
we recommend mounting the brackets a distance of one quarter of the length of the
Twin Stick from the end of the Twin Stick.
Insert the Twin Stick in the C-Fix-Flex brackets and push it to the rear until it engages
( ).
Move the Twin Stick to the required position.
Fasten the M3 screws for both C-Fix-Flex brackets to a torque of approx. 1.5 Nm to fix
the Twin Stick ( ).
Correct the angle of the bracket for optimal alignment ( ).
Fasten the M5 fixing screws of both C-Fix-Flex brackets to a torque of approx. 5 Nm.
Higher torques can damage the bracket; lower torques provide inadequate protection
against vibration ( ).
