Mounting the Sensor Head
When mounting to the jig, make a round hole on the jig beforehand.
1 Work the sensor head mounting part as below.
2 Insert the sensor head to the hole worked in step 1.
• Never apply tightening torque over 10 N•m (The
recommended tightening torque is 5 to 7 N•m).
• Care must be taken not to damage the dust boot when
tightening.
4 Rotate the dust boot for adjustment so that the side line of dust boot
becomes straight.
Check with the spindle pushed in.
If the dust boot is not straight, it will be easily damaged when
the spindle is moved.
