3.2 Setting up the Measuring Station
Practical examples:
– MarSurf PS1 standing on its vee­block bot­
tom or on the vertical adjusters, measure­
ment on level surface or in bore, stylus tip
pointing downwards.
– MarSurf PS1 lying upside­down on its top
surface (three­point support), vee­block
serving as mount, measurement on cylindri­
cal testpieces of up to 1 kg
(2.205 lbs)
, stylus
tip pointing upwards.
Depending on the length of the testpiece,
the drive unit can be moved longitudinally
into the front or rear lock­in position.
3.2.1 Mobile Measuring Station
To set up the drive unit:
1. Carefully introduce the pick­up (5) into
the pick­up holder on the end face of the
drive unit (7), bearing in mind the plug
assignment.
2. Screw the pick­up protection (6) firmly onto
the end face of the drive unit.
The pick­up protection should be used
at all times if possible as it protects
the pick­up from damage.
Exception: When measuring in
small­diameter bores or at points
that are difficult to access.
After a pick­up has been replaced,
the new pick­up should be calibrat­
ed or its correction value set (if this
is already known) (see Section 5).
3. Fit any additional accessories, e.g. for vertical
adjustment – i.e. the mount (8) and one or
both vertical adjusters (9).
4. Place the drive unit in the correct measuring
position by moving it longitudinally and
rotating it. Guide pins on the drive unit help
to find the ideal operating position.
