However, when doing so, you have to take some precautions. On both ends of the scale is a buffer zone. These zones limit the Aura P from optically traveling off of the grating patterns. If the buffer zones are altered by shortening the scale, Aura P may report an incorrect position at either end of the scale. Therefore, before making any cuts, ensure that there is an adequate measuring distance that includes buffer zones on both ends of the axis of motion. The mechanical alignment can be referenced in the Installation section of the datasheet. The encoder optics should always be at least 2.4576 mm from the scale edge. This value accounts for 0.02 mm of potential glass edge chips and defects resulting from the cutting process.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/rt-accordion-content>\n<\/rt-accordion-item>\n<rt-accordion-item class=\"wp-one-novanta-accordion__item\" open-by-default=\"no\">\n\t<rt-accordion-handle class=\"wp-one-novanta-accordion__handle\">\n\t\t<button class=\"wp-one-novanta-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"has-heading-font-family\">Can I change the power connectors of the Everest XCR servo drive for a pluggable terminal block?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/rt-accordion-handle>\n\t<rt-accordion-content class=\"wp-one-novanta-accordion__content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-one-novanta-accordion__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<p>Pluggable terminal block power connectors are not available for the Everest XCR.
