3. Determine what kind of mount you want to use.
a. We recommend you drill and tap a mounting hole.
Verify that the machine housing is suitable for drilling a mounting hole.
Refer to the machine warranty or other documentation.
Consider the type of VP Series 2000 device you want to mount.
Consider placement on the machine relative to its axis.
b. If drilling a mounting hole is not feasible, use an adhesive mounting pad instead.
See "About Using Adhesives".
c. Select either a standard stud, adhesive stud, or tri-axial alignment stud available from
Divigraph.
Prepare the Mounting Point
To prepare the mounting point to which a VP Series 2000 device is attached:
1. Prepare the mounting surface.
a. The mounting diameter should be a minimum of 40mm (1 ½ inches) on the machine at the
mounting point.
b. Use a steel wire brush to remove all paint from the mounting surface.
c. On curved or uneven surfaces, use a spot facing tool to provide a flat mounting surface.
2. Prepare the attachment point.
a. (Recommended) Drill and tap a suitable hole in the center of the prepared surface,
perpendicular to the mounting surface.
b. (Alternative) Cement an adhesive mounting pad onto the prepared surface with a suitable
bonding agent. See "About Using Adhesives".
For machine manufacturers or when installing in a suitable environment, the surface finish for stud
mounted devices should meet the following specifications:
Roughness: 32 microinch rms
Flatness: 0.001” TIR
Spotface Diameter: 1.5 inch
Hole Perpendicularity:  +/- 1 °
Hole Depth: mounting stud dependent
! Note
The mounting point hole and thread depth should be sufficient for the mounting stud to be seated
against the prepared mounting surface.
