The IMCO piezoelectric transducers supplied from the factory for all IMCO systems are shipped pre-wired. The standard pre-wired cables are determined by the mounting location either on the columns or pitman's of the press. Standard cable lengths for column or pitman mountings are applicable to most all types presses. Do not cut cable until length from transducers to control box is determined. If the cable lengths are not long enough, custom cable lengths can be requested.
Typical mounting locations are recommended to obtain maximum output from IMCO piezoelectric transducers. While there are possible alternates, it is suggested that you contact the factory before selecting one. We do not advise pitman mounting if your pitman is split or it has an adjustment mechanism in the pitman.
The IMCO piezoelectric transducers are measuring micro strain. Brackets should be tightened and jammed into the press frame or pitman's as close as possible to assure maximum transducer signal. Make sure the brackets remain parallel to the mounting surface (i.e. columns or pitman's). Use the supplied mounting template to determine spacing distance between top and bottom mounting brackets.
Detailed instructions for mounting IMCO piezoelectric transducers and control box can be found in the IMCO INSTALLATION MANUAL.
