I have an hlvh lathe with mitotoyo dro, older 572 series's. The cross feed scale was never installed, still new. I want to put it on. The best and easiest way to mount it would be with it laying horizontal with reader head sticking out the side with a mounting Block under the reader bracket. The owners manual says to mount scale on either side in a vertical fashion so reader head hangs under it. It says not to lay it on the side with head in horizontal plane.
Does anyone know why this would be an issue. I hope my explanation makes sense. I can post a pic if needed, when I'm at my computer
Thanks sam
