1139300 Shadow 8 User Manual
2-18 Installation and Checkout
Both ends of the Shadow 8 optic heads must be attached to mounting brackets so that
vibration does not cause the units to go out of alignment. Brackets themselves may be
attached to your press at one end only, to the bolster of the press, for instance.
You can mount the Shadow 8 heads directly to a vertical wall or column of the press if the
location meets all mounting requirements, including safety distance.
When mounting brackets on the bolster of the press, choose your location carefully. Make
sure the brackets do not prevent dies from being removed from the press.
See Figure 2-6 and Table 2-2, page 2-19, and Figure 2-7, page 2-20, for layout and hole
dimensions of the Shadow 8 heads and universal mounting brackets.
Figure 2-5. Light Curtain Mounting Bracket Types
In applications where light curtains will be exposed to shock and vibration, it is recommended that
you secure brackets at both ends where possible.
