Surtronic S25
Figure 16: shoe pickup
This pick-up should never be used on a smooth surface because
the shoe would tend to wring to the surface.
Ideally the pick-up should be parallel to the surface being
measured, but in any case, the inclination must not /-
10° to ensure that the shoe rides flat on the surface.
Detachable Skid (112/1191)
This accessory can be clamped to the pick-up body, to enable the
Datum Support Stand to be used with the standard, recess, right
angle and chisel edge stylus pick-ups. The normal skid should be
removed by undoing the small screw in the end of the pick-up and
taking off the end cap. Take care that the pin next to the skid does
not fall out, as it will now be loose. After the end cap has been
removed, there will be no protection from the delicate stylus beam,
so be very careful particularly when measuring in blind bores; do
not allow the beam to foul the work piece.
