PREPARING FOR MEASUREMENT

Dangerous situations when handling the scaffold
Ensure the following points when erecting the scaffolding:
■ The contact surface for the force sensor must have a mini-
mum spring constant of 2000 N/mm in the direction of the
collision vector.
■ The pre-set position of the measuring point is guaranteed.
■ Sufficient stability is ensured (e.g., by anchoring in the foun-
dation or support struts) to prevent tilting due to collisions
and/or weight forces of the force sensor.
■ Sufficient firmness is ensured to absorb the total weight of
the measuring unit and the force resulting from the collision.
■ To erect the scaffolding, always work in accordance with
the according regulations on site.
■ Wear personal protective equipment according to the inst-
ructions: Protective clothing, safety shoes, protective gloves
and industrial safety helmet are necessary.
■ Properly handle heavy and bulky parts with two persons or
with lifting equipment.
Serious injuries from falling components are possible.
Use safety factor 3 for rmness calculations.
Requirements for the contact surface
The contact surface for the CoboSafe-CBSF force sensor must ensure a secure hold. If the
measuring setup is manufactured as recommended using aluminum profile rails, the following
minimum requirements for the contact surface are generally met:
■ The normal vector (Fig. 14/2) of the contact surface (Fig. 14/3) forms a line with the
collision vector (Fig. 14/1).
■ The contact surface is flat. Do not use obviously curved surfaces.
■ The minimum contact area is 80 mm x 80 mm.
If the mounting adapter is to be mounted in a groove of the aluminum profile rail, e.g., using
sliding blocks, an additional free groove of at least 140 mm must be available.
