    RGA22G scale guide efg

    Scale applicator tool for RGH22 readhead installations

    The RGA22G scale guide is mounted in place of any Renishaw RGH22 readhead and
    uses the motion of the axis to apply RGS-S tape scale parallel to the guideway whilst
    simultaneously removing the backing paper - a one man, one hit operation.

    Scale installation
    ● Prepare scale and surface
    ● Ensure scale is cut to correct length and mounting surface has been prepared (refer to
    RGS-S scale installation guide for details)

    ● Install the scale guide


    ● Mount the scale guide to the readhead bracket as shown in figure 1
    ● Be careful to check that the readhead and the scale guide have the same orientation, as
    the readhead does not lie centrally over the scale
    ● Move the guide to the start of axis travel. Note the direction of scale application as shown
    in figure 2
    ● The design of the RGA22G allows scale application in either direction

    Part No. M-9531-1281
    ● Load the scale into the scale guide
    ● Remove the splitter screw (see figure 1) from the scale guide body
    ● Separate the backing paper from the first 40mm of scale and feed it into the scale
    guide as shown in figure 2
    ● Relocate the splitter screw behind the backing paper as shown in figure 2
    ● Push the scale carefully through to the end of scale mark, ensuring that it does not
    stick to the mounting surface until it is in position. NOTE to prevent the scale sticking
    to the mounting surface during this operation it may be necessary to re-apply
    approximately 20mm of backing paper to the end of the scale before inserting through
    scale guide. This can then be removed before to fitting end clamps.
    ● Attach the end of the scale to the mounting surface with light finger pressure

    ● Apply the scale


    ● Traverse the axis through its full travel at a slow, steady speed
    ● While moving the axis
    ● Apply a light finger pressure to the scale behind the scale guide to
    attach it to the mounting surface
    ● Gently pull the backing paper away from in front of the scale guide as it
    is separated

    ● Remove the scale guide


    ● When the axis has reached the limit of its travel, lock the axis in place and unbolt the
    scale guide from the readhead mounting bracket
    ● Withdraw the scale guide along the scale whilst applying the remaining scale using
    light finger pressure

    ● Ensure complete adhesion of the scale to the mounting surface by applying firm finger
    pressure along the full length of the scale from the centre outwards to each end

    ● Fit RGC-F end clamps (refer to RGS-S scale installation guide for details)
