Parallel alignment
The exact, parallel alignment of the measuring direction to the axis
of rotation of the machine is decisive for achieving precise measured
data.
Otherwise, measured value fluctuations occur during machine
operation due to the high sensitivity of the FMS force sensors. These
interfere with the assessment of the product quality later.
Due to irregularities in the installation surfaces, the alignment may have to be
readjusted very precisely. Some FMS force sensors feature an integrated mechanism
facilitating this fine adjustment. For force sensors without such features, we
recommend the use of shims or thin metal strips.

Installation of the Electronics Components in the Rotating Part of
the Machine
The transmitter module and the channel extension modules should be mounted as
closely as possible to the axis of rotation of the strander. This reduces the influencing
centrifugal forces.
During installation of the transmitter module, make sure that the centrifugal forces do
not act in the direction of the fastening screws of the battery.
Make also sure that the transmission path to the receiver module is free from obstacles.
Mount the receiver as high as possible.
