18.3 Vibration sensor location
The balance system relies on vibration signals received from the Vibration Sensor to accurately
display the current vibration level, in peak to peak units, and to balance the grinding wheel.
Therefore, the location and installation of the sensor is crucial to the successful operation of the
balancer system.
The vibration sensor provided has a magnetic mount and during initial setup will need to be moved
around until good permanent location is found on the grinding machine for the sensor. The sensor
can then be permanently fixed at that location (on a machined flat).
Points to note:
1. Locate the sensor in the same direction as the centreline between the grinding wheel and the
workpiece.
2. Locate the sensor on a rigid part of the wheelhead assembly.
If possible the 0850 machine should be installed away from other sources of vibration that would
generated by surrounding machinery.
